If you’re on the site, you will notice that it is now noobscience.in!!
I just purchased the domain and I plan on owning it for the forseeable future.
I was unable to decide between noobscience.com and noobscience.in, however, since I am
Indian and also, the .in domain was cheaper (almost 15%!): I decided to go with the later.
It really is a very special thing to own a domain. It is like you own a small part of land rights on the internet. I know this is a bad metaphor, for one owning a domain is like having a name with nothing to attach the name to.
However, owning a site has become more accessible and easier than ever, with startups like Vercel and Netlify owning huge chunks of the market for the “early devs” to go hosting.
I use vercel as well and it has been quite a good experince, especially with the usually hectic stuff like CNAME’s and stuff. Vercel makes it quite easy. Also a free SSL certificate and automatic www redirection? Who can say no to that!
Regardless, I am quite excited to be the proud owner of noobscience.in.
Thank you for reading :)
