 ===== Skolma Configs =====
 ==== Domain and DNS ====
+cant do much 'serving' on the internet without your own domain and dns control.\\
+choosing a domain can be fun/fustrating, take your time, and check the renewal fees, and transfer constraints.. eg some country.tlds have limitted hosting options, and strict regulations on who can own, and identity may need to be public.\\
+shop around, it's the internet, there are always deals.\\
+ensure the dns hosting/registrar supports DNSSEC and does not have additional charges, as you will need many record types for ssl-certificate and smtp management.\\
 ==== Hosting Services ====
+self-hosting is best, keeps you fully in control\\
+however not always practical, and may have constraints imposed by your home internet and provider arrangement, eg no_smtp or carrier-nat. \\
+\\
+when looking for a cloud provider i look for simplicity of services, breadth of support, and data-centre locations.\\
 ==== Operating Systems ====
 i have a preference for free and opensource software, and try to use/implement where i can.\\

   - MacOS - Considered one of the best desktop platforms, it has integration second to none, if you can afford the price.
   - Windows - like it or not, it's everywhere, and it's ok, although recent releases are raising questions.
