About This Site

RedGreen.net is my domain for personal and professional purposes, running from my home office using various server names. It is not accessible using only the IP address by design.

Why keep it simple? I believe there's just too much overhead added by site creation tools that breaks things. Simple and functional wins.

Infrastructure

  • Domain: NameSilo - Best rates with auto-renewals, hassle-free for years
  • DNS: FreeDNS (afraid.org) - Generously provided free DNS hosting
  • SSL: Certbot - Free SSL certificates

Fun fact: Our dog is named Blue. It's a complete coincidence that this server is named blue. I picked my server names long before she was born, and we got her as a rescue dog already named Blue Angel.

🌐 Free DNS Hosting
