New additions to instances.noct.zone:

- sunbeam.city (say hi to @cocoron!)

- tabletop.social (say hi to @host!)

(I also added back our instance, hehe.)

Is there some sort of guide to buying a domain name and how to start an instance? And/or is there someone who can do it for me?

I'd like to have my own, but I totally lack the skills.

@phantasmal_yearnest I got this domain off GoDaddy (just search "buy a domain" on any search engine and you'll get different providers), and hosting is done by @mastohost, who does pretty much all the technical, sysadmin-y stuff for the instance in the background.

I've been the admin of a few different websites though, and familiarised myself w/ how Mastodon + ActivityPub work. It's a good idea to make a kind of "operation plan" on how your instance would be run.

I wondered because I had an idea for a hilarious unclaimed domain name, but I wasn't sure which domain sellers are trustworthy. I don't want my credit card number stolen.
