So I got hold of a domain that shows my exact full name. I thought it would be useful for showing up as "professional" when working in IT and sending resumes.
I got some mail forwarded using the domain registrar. I also made a small static website, which only has hello world for now but soon will get the contents filled up.
But then… what? I suppose I can host anything I want, but then there's the whole "real name - gotta look professional" aspect that makes me weary of hosting a Lemmy instance, for example, when the domain without my name attached wouldn't.
I suppose having personal domains were cool in the 90s where people were barely learning about "the internets". Not so anymore?
Is there a usefulness in having a domain name with your real name attached on this age?
Yeah, that's what happens, something cool but that's it. It would be nice if l could use it for something else other than a glorified online resume.
I also bought a cheap domain for experimenting around, so that's where all my "not so professional" stuff goes.
