Is there a free alternative to Google Sites that’s open source? I want one with free custom domains, not subdomains.
minus-squareHaui@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI dat to check google sites first since I never used it before. From the quick glance I gathered, I‘d say there is no open source equivalent with free custom domains. Registering top level domains is not available for free I think. The closest I know is duckdns. If google is giving out top level domains for free now then it is a market dominance strategy because nobody else can do it I think. Let me know if you have any more questions.

minus-squareHaui@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoThat would make sense. But in that case I don’t understand why op is asking for an open source equivalent with free top level domains.
minus-squareIcarus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agomaybe they meant adding domains for free, most free hosts don’t allow you to use custom domains for free and require a paid plan for that. so could be that OP is willing to pay for the domain itself but not for using it, which is fair
minus-squareHaui@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYes, absolutely. Odd choice of words I suppose. :)
