I'm guilty of owning way too many domains but this short-hand (lqdev.me) and other permadomain (luisquintanilla.me) are the ones I use mostly.

A potential happy medium I've seen is using subdomains (i.e. project.lqdev.me).

Jim Nielsen has great examples of how he's doing that today. Though that's an older post, he also addressed it most recently in the post Domain Sins of My Youth.

That somehow feels better than the URL you get when you use free hosting like GitHub Pages. As a bonus, it's already tied to your identity (if using your personal domain). Also, you save some money.

There's a few ways I practice this today. In addition to the previously mentioned domains, I also own lqdev.tech. Services and projects I host live there.

For example:

• Mastodon Instance (toot.lqdev.tech)
• Matrix server (matrix.lqdev.tech)
• Webmentions service (webmentions.lqdev.tech)

So far it's been working well.
