I have several selfhosted services that I have been using for months, now I wish to access these while I am not at home. Likes of nextcloud, nocodb, wikijs and other media sharing self-hosted services

I would like to know what precautions should I take so no one knows that such a domain exists.

should I purchase a crazy numbered domain like 671341412312.com ? or should I go for .tk domains.

Would like to get some suggestions from this community on other aspects that I am missing.

    Warning: tk domains registrar has 0 GDPR.

    Might be irrelevant now, but I didn’t managed to delete my data once I wanted out

      I never really understood the concept behind their free domains, but I never purchased a free/cheap domain after my first experience of getting charged 2-3 times for renewal.

      However, are you talking about deletion of your personal data or your website data ?

        Personal data.

        They also moved a free domain that I have let expire to the paid ones, so if I wanted to renew I would have to pay… Which is kind of fair… They should also make money from somewhere…

        When buying a domain read all the details: renewal fee are mentioned there. For me they were turnoffs in some cases.

        I now have a .ovh as a cheap alternative. Iirc they are dirt cheap when you reserve the domain for 3 years…
