+Owning a public domain is a must-have for a proper self-hoster. Buying one is cheap and you can really come up with some nice and creative names. You could even go for a random generated string or number, if you prefer.
+You **must have** a domain name because you need it to get **HTTPS** to work, using SSL certificates.
 If you have read the [[networking:networking|this]] page, you should know why you need at least one external server.
