Personal websites are attracting attention again as people rediscover the value of owning a domain, controlling their work, and building an Internet outside...
I’ve had my current personal domain for 22 years, but before that I had a succession of hand-coded personal websites going back to the janky free webhosts we had in the 1990s.
thank you, aw damn - some of the data feeds are large but nothing should be render blocking, page speed insights says first paint loads under 1.1seconds I’ll have to improve some of that data or precache some of it
Hah, for some reason when those were available I was registering crazy long ones. It was more about getting the words back then for me.
Honestly I’m surprised mine was still available since the 5 letter one (which is now my main personal domain/site) is actually my newest. It was around the time Popular Science rebranded PopSci, and I was able to grab NowSci.
Mine never left, it’s been there all this time. </SmugMode>
How long have you had it?

Awesome stuff!
I’ve had mine for about 22 years, but it’s been empty most of the time :(
same 22 years and counting (https://markobajlovic.com/)
(I had let the dns expire once early on)
It’s a nice website too, the only critique i have is that it’s very slow to load (at least on mobile)
