I recently purchased a domain for myself as a why-the-fuck-not purchase and I need some ideas for what to put on there. Some ideas so far include: Small Blog Personal S/FTP server to sync back to Minecraft server

Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks :)

First step would be to sign up for Cloudflare and use that for DNS management.

If you're gonna make a website for it, just keep it simple and make a flat-file HTML/CSS site. You can host it for free on Netlify.

You can use Zoho for free mail hosting

Also, if you bought the domain from GoDaddy or one of their subsidiary companies, transfer it away to Cloudflare, Porkbun, or Namecheap.

Avoid buying any hosting from any EIG owned company.

I know there was a controversy, but what happened exactly with GoDaddy?
