Is there some sort of guide to buying a domain name and how to start an instance? And/or is there someone who can do it for me?

I'd like to have my own, but I totally lack the skills.

@phantasmal_yearnest I got this domain off GoDaddy (just search "buy a domain" on any search engine and you'll get different providers), and hosting is done by @mastohost, who does pretty much all the technical, sysadmin-y stuff for the instance in the background.

I've been the admin of a few different websites though, and familiarised myself w/ how Mastodon + ActivityPub work. It's a good idea to make a kind of "operation plan" on how your instance would be run.

I wondered because I had an idea for a hilarious unclaimed domain name, but I wasn't sure which domain sellers are trustworthy. I don't want my credit card number stolen.

@phantasmal_yearnest Running any kind of online community comes with certain risks and you'll have to accept that and be confident that you can take those on those responsibly should they arise.
