My hosting

It is to me quite impressive that I am able to host this site for free. I am using infinity free. I was looking for a place where I can upload my tools and notes which I do. Either for my later reference or to help others.

SSL certificate

For me the ssl certificate is very important as it then encrypt all the traffic which I am getting. to get the correct command to execute I have used a generative AI, with referencing the options in manpages. The final version look like this:

        certbot certonly --manual \
  --preferred-challenges=dns \
  --key-type rsa \
  -d lukisko.eu
    

1. I needed to specify the key-type as the infinity free does support only RSA key - not sure if also the cPanel, I will try it the next time
2. I needed to remove the wildcard option, as neither inifnity free or cPanel understands that it was issued for both of them, nad checked just the wildcard and complained that it was not the right one

Choosing of this provider has been a long process, as I wanted to check what are other options so I don't need migrate this many times. In the process it was important that I can have some scripting on server side - seems like php scripting takes the lowest resources on a shared server - as the code gets exetuted just on demand.
And I also wanted to have server in EUrope and preferable an European company - as closer means faster access to it.
