Domain Registration and public DNS

This is the one service that is not free and open source in ShinySpace:

To make sure requests for any ShinySpace domain or subdomain lands at the correct place, ClouDNS contains the proper entries. So any time you type shiny.space in your browser, that browser will ask ClouDNS for the IP.

For convenience, shiny.space is also registered directly with ClouDNS. The service ClouDNS provides is very solid, easy to use, and flexible. For a current $30 per year for the DNS service, it is a good deal. But the domains themselves cost extra: shiny.space costs another $30 per year, whereas other domains are usually only $12 per year. (subdomains like this one, wiki.shiny.space, are free and unlimited in a domain such as shiny.space.)
