I’m not perfect yet and tiny parts use Fly/Cloudflare (Anycast / Turnstile) and Stripe for payments but the core runs on own hardware in a Dutch datacenter provided by Dutch companies.

I must say though that this (at this stage) is mostly only possible because a few (also Dutch) reseller titans that allow me to be affordable.

The cost of entry as registrar into ICANN TLDs is pretty high

Also had to find another source for revoked test certificates for the homepage examples and found them here: https://www.ssl.com/sample-valid-revoked-and-expired-ssl-tls.... The badssl ones are expired too which means they are no longer revoked since revocation only lasts the lifetime of the certificates, which makes sense of course.

All of these have no marketing and terrible landing pages since they are mostly built for me (although I like to think they are pretty ploished) but hit $500+ a few weeks ago. It took 5-10 years but interesting to see either way (payments were only available about a year ago though, before it was all free).

The funny thing (to me) is that the URL shortener is doing the big bucks since apparently there is still a place for new ones in the market which I did not expect, I mostly built it to be able to easily redirect a hostname.
