RedGreen.net is my domain. I use it for personal and professional purposes. I run it out of my home office using various server names. It is not accessible using only the IP address by design. Yes, this site is simple. I believe that there’s just too much overhead added by site creation tools that just breaks things.
I found NameSilo to provide the best rates on prices with auto-renewals. It has been hassle-free for years.
Name services are generously provided by https://freedns.afraid.org/.
SSL support is provided by Certbot.
The favicon of this server is our dog Blue. It’s a complete coincidence that this server is named blue. I picked my names long before she was born and we got her as a rescue dog already named Blue Angel.
