An experiment

I bought thirdly.org a few days back with the main goal of setting up a personal domain over the one I use for “work”.

When I bought it, I had the idea to run it completely third party. So here’s how it is going down so far.

DNS management is done by the kind folks that do OpenDNS and DNSOMatic. Having all that caching sure is a safe way to get your DNS hosted. Having 4 nameservers also does help a lot.

Email is done by Google Apps. So its 5GBs of storage for just me the singular user, with IMAP and everything else.

Blogging of course is handled by Tumblr, having one of the DNS point its IP to Tumblr’s servers so that this entire site can appear as though its mine.

Now I’m hunting for Subversion hosting.

Did I mention that it all has to be free?
