For Canada Day, I am proud to announce I migrated my website to a web hosting company owned and headquartered in Canada: Web Hosting Canada. I took advantage of the move to completely redesign my trilingual (English, French, Spanish) website using WordPress, a new skill for me.

It's very interesting, as a lay person considering hosting an activity-pub based server and allowing open sign-ups, it felt to me like they were trying to hedge against the fact that once something's published online, especially via a federated publishing network, the publisher doesn't have a legally meaningful (to my mind, but I am not a judge) mechanism to reliably unpublished it from the internet. As I read it, they seemed to be asking the user to agree that all parties understood and accepted this.
I could be wrong, of course, and I'm sure the author of your link would say I am (under their subheading "What about federation?" where they seem to think what I describe is handled implicitly, and that's fine for all parties), but nevertheless it's food for thought for me, in how I might compose/adjust a ToS agreement. Thank you for sharing it.
Why Use a Country-Level Domain Extension?
Using overseas hosting (outside the United States) is a smart move and something we encourage — it can provide greater privacy, legal protection, and sovereignty over your data.
However, hosting alone is not enough.
Even if you host your website (for example, on a .com) in a country like Germany, while your files and database may be safe, your domain name itself can still be subject to U.S. law. Many domain extensions — including .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, and .edu — are governed by U.S. jurisdiction.
Additionally, many word-based domain extensions — such as .social — are managed by private corporations based in the United States, which can still put your domain name at risk of legal or commercial interference. Corporations can also be easily bought or influenced, unlike sovereign nations. Historically, sovereign nations tend to seek to hold onto their sovereignty — even when they are financially broke or fundamentally broken.
Domain takedowns are rare, but the possibility exists — especially in today's unstable political climate. For example, even close allies like Canada have experienced tension with the U.S., and Donald Trump even tried to instruct Microsoft to discontinue services to Denmark, raising the question: What is "normal" anymore?
What's your thoughts on shorter, maybe brandable domains, against longer more descriptive domains?

Mein Blog hat ein neues Zuhause
Mein Blog Secunis.de ist umgezogen – und zwar nicht irgendwohin, sondern in seine neue, wohlverdiente Heimat bei Manitu GmbH. 
Ich war auf der Suche nach einem Hoster, der Wert auf Datenschutz, Open-Source-Lösungen, Transparenz und – vor allem – Menschlichkeit legt. Und was soll ich sagen? Bei @team fühlt sich alles von Anfang an richtig an. Stabil, schnell, fair, transparent – und dazu noch mit Herz. Genau das, was mein Blog braucht, um sich so richtig wohlzufühlen.
Danke an Manitu für den fast reibungslosen Umzug – die kleinen Stolpersteine hab ich selbst mitgebracht. 
Schön, dass ihr mit mir weiter auf dieser Reise seid.
I should probably look for a new domain registrar at some point.
In the Old Days™, I had my .co.uk domains on 123-Reg, back when a domain was £2.50 plus the 39p fee. But they were expensive for .com, so those went on Namecheap.
Then 123-Reg got expensive and crap, so I moved the .uk domains to Namecheap.
Now it'd be good to use a UK company. But all the review sites are listing the big companies that I wouldn't trust because they're big and clunky and unresponsive (Go Daddy, Ionos, Google Domains, and even HostGator 
) or "buy your cheap domain at a super-cheap web host" companies… that I wouldn't trust!
I know @beasts do domain registration. But I'm already using one of their awesome Raspberry Pi servers and I've kept my domains separate from my hosting for 20+ years for "emergency purposes" (i.e. "shit hits the fan and I need to move something in a hurry while locked out from the web host").

Wie ich mir einen Homeserver ohne Portfreigabe im Router eingerichtet habe.
Da haben wir doch glatt den gestrigen #Webhosting-Anwendungs-Update-Montag vergessen:
* FreshRSS: 1.26.2
* Matomo: 5.3.2
* WordPress: 6.8.2
Wäre es möglich, auch eine Mastodon App, im Webhosting, anzubieten?
I'm looking to migrate our website domains to services not owned by google/squarespace, and our web host to something cheaper than bluehost.
It's just a simple wordpress website for a card game, Penguinslap.com. We don't really get any traffic at all. Very occasionally we make a sale, and those links redirect to a PayPal site.
Any suggestions?
5) Das Internet ist für uns kein Neuland - uns gibt es schon seit 1997.
6) Für die Verwaltung unserer #Webhosting-Plattform setzen wir auf eine vollständig Eigenentwicklung. Das bedeutet zwar mehr Arbeit, aber auch mehr Flexibilität
