Ask HN: Should I host projects on their own domain?
Hi all
Last couple of weeks during the summer I’ve been really productive and launched some little tools/side-projects that were on my todo list since a very long time.
I decided to host them on my personal website, eg site.com/tool-a. Different people gave me the advice to host them on their own domains, as that’s more professional. They have a point, but I consider them my personal projects and they are 1-2 pages max and I’m not going to buy a separate domain name for every project I make, as most of the tools don’t bring in money and are just for fun.
One is a mobile app which has IAP, another one has a donation button on the final page and the other 4 projects are free.
