[–] r3tr0_97@ani.social 3 points 4 months ago (2 children) What are you using those 6 domains for? Genuine question btw permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 2 points 4 months ago Two are fedi instances, one is "official (related to my legal name)" and mostly used for email, one for personal selfhosted stuff I want to access from outside without vpn (like this Lemmy instance), one used to be a local concert calendar which I sunset so it's not needed anymore. Currently forgot the sixth one lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] kossa@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) I have also like quite some domains. One just firstnamelastname to have it One for homelabbing One for business One, because I thought firstname@lastname.email was a cool idea. Now all my accounts run through it and I cannot change it anymore :/ One for my old startup, where I just like the name to much One for another old business, but my mailserver runs through that domain, and it is too much of a bother to change that 😅 So, remember folks: don't buy too many domains, it becomes a liability. permalink fedilink source parent
