Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index.
We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere.
Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing.

Some of my favorite TLDs are going up in price at every registrar on October 6.
This includes domain extensions like .coffee and .pink and .cafe! If you have a domain name with one of these TLDs, you can renew now for multiple years to get the lower price. #DomainNames

I like it! The cursor kitty feels like it's unlocking a part of my brain from the 1990s.

I'm checking out free web hosting providers that can be used for fun and personal websites.
I wanted to know what to recommend to people who want to make their own website, so I decided to try things out for myself!

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or capitalism, but it makes a political statement. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web" and I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

I use iCloud mail with custom domains for email.
For browsers, Safari if you’re on Apple. Firefox as an alternate for any OS. Opera and Vivaldi if I need to try something in a Chromium-based browser.
DuckDuckGo has been my main search engine for years.

It’s so easy! I’m starting to think people don’t care about domain names as much as I do.
