I mean anything that is not hosted in your house. For example, dynamic dns, some type of ddos protection, off-site backups, external oauth provider, etc.

    I just use a domain name through name cheap, which includes ddns. I cant think of anything else that I do at home that isn’t taken care of locally.

    • Tailscale for external access, this is extremely convenient.
    • Namesilo for domain (cheap but otherwise not really recommended)
    • Bunny DNS (because NPM’s certbot doesn’t support Namesilo). Still looking at their other services, overall it seems nice.

    Still looking at an external backup solution like Backblaze or Hetzner

    Fast Mail DNS because I moved my domain over there for email. Problem is that it doesn’t have an API for DNS updates, and that makes it bad for DynDNS. There are some web scraping libraries out there that can work for it, but those can easily break any time FastMail changes their interface.

    For now, I’m just using the fact that my IP doesn’t change that often, and living with the fact that I’ll have to manually update it at some point.

    I have a $5/mo vps running caddy over wireguard to get better routing when I’m on mobile.

    Otherwise, my traffic goes to my home ISPs hub 600 miles away and back. The VPS is less than 100 miles away and it performs much better.

    Basically just the bare minimum

    • Email (Zoho, still on their old legacy free plan)
    • Backblaze B2 for Restic to store backups on
    • DNS for my public domain name (Cloudflare)
    • Uptime monitoring for my website (HetrixTools)

    • Mail with all the bells and whistles (been there, done that – but I just want this to work and not care about details).
    • Dynamic DNS because I just need to tell someone my non-static IP so they can connect that with my domain name.

    GoDaddy(I think) for my domain, Cloudflare +Letsencrypt (DNS SSL challenge), Tailscale (to access applications remotely), AirVPN (for applications to access the web), Gmail (smtp, I want to migrate soon).

    I host everything else.

    regery for my domains (they’re ukrainian)

    smtp2go as a relay for my mail server

    mxroute for my other mail domain (yes, I have 2 domains)
