Hi!

Maybe someone can help me with a problem I’m having, vaguely related to self hosting.

I want to use a domain with let’s encrypt certificates locally. I realise the only way to do this is a (automated) DNS-01 challenge if I don’t want to expose anything to the outside.

Those DNS challenges require my name server to have some kind of API to automate the process. My registrar/name server doesn’t have a API unfortunately.

I want to use the opportunity to switch my registrar and name server in one go, but I’m pretty picky…

My wish list is:

  • MFA for general account administration
  • scoped tokens or account for API access (don’t need or want to manage everything by API)
  • can handle .at domains
  • not cloudflare
  • registrar and name server should be one entity if possible
  • european if possible
  • supported by ngnix proxy manager if possible

Backup plan would be picking a registrar which supports DNSSEC for .at domains and use desec.io I guess.

But maybe the hive mind has a good recommendation for me? :)

Thank you in advance for reading! I’m aware I’m just a bit extra, but i want to be able to just ignore the whole name server and domain topic for the next ten years again if I can.

Cheers!

    selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.

    • can handle .at domains
    • is not Cloudflare
    • is registrar and name server
    • is European (Germany)
    • supports Nginx Proxy Manager

    They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.
