What the...
are you okay op? do you need a hug?
Good luck with that.... It's going to cost you a lot. Why not just use your pc host file?
Of coure I am
Thats a good idea, but it will not work on other PCs
Amazon has many ranges, such as x.x.0.0/16.
If you want it easy to remember, I think it's going to be a public DNS. The important question then becomes: why? Are current public DNS resolvers not enough? For a private DNS you would not need an easy to remember IP.
If you really want to go through with this, I held a non-profit project for protecting children online a few years. I did this using some easy to remember IP addresses. To obtain this I used Scaleway because there you pay for everything per hour (including IPv4 addresses). I kept on reserving hundreds of IPv4 addresses until I found something easy to remember; then deleted the rest. It's a bit of a gamble, but I succeeded. The payment was just for a couple of hours of many IPv4 addresses reserved. The chosen IPv4 addresses were then attached to the cheapest cloud servers at Scalway, which were used as public DNS for my project.
For IPv6 I used Hurricane Electric's Tunnelbroker. In Tunnelbroker website you may request about once per day (if my memory serves me right) a /48 to use alongside your /64 address. I used that /48 as tunnel towards the Scaleway cloud servers mentioned earlier.
Why not settle for a numeric .xyz domain?
Just use Tailscale or ZeroTier 👌
7.5.3.2 -> The IP you want
W.X.Y.Z -> The actual server IP
I have 127.0.0.1
You said you don't know much about DNS, then why not buy a shared hosting, get a domain, and be done with it? Or just get a VPS and a domain, add an A record by pointing your domain to your VPS IP so you don't have to remember that IP again. Just ssh [email protected], so you don't have to remember that longish number ever again. And it works across PCS, too.
oh my.. what if that ip has number 13 in it, jeez, god bless it
This will work on my PC, but not on others
I am kinda good at DNS, but it is too centralised for me
Then get a domain, add an A record, and you can ssh [email protected]. You just have to remember that IP once to add your domain to it.
OpenStack has the ability to choose an IP from available ranges when creating a server. Some providers disable this feature, but not all.
You can choose something easy to remember, but not one-digit.
Free dynamic dns provider like desec.io or ydns.io is for that, no need to remember ip and crap. That's what domain name is for.
You know you can setup aliases in your ssh config file right? Simply type: ssh host1
Host host1
Hostname ip.address.goes.here
Username user
You can't get your desired ip address and its very rare that some provider allowing to select. BTW why you don't like using domains?
Because it does not look cool and it it centralized
I think tailscale is a much better choice for ya.
192.168.0.1
Bad joke, that is nor easily rememberable nor publicly reachable
I was going to suggest Tailscale also.
Outside of that, use a client such as SSH that retains the server connection details so you never have to manually type in the IP.
Taking the request somewhat seriously, I quickly glanced at Tor node list and found liteserver.nl having 5.2.64.0/20 and 5.2.70.0/24 blocks.
For IPv6, they have 2a01:6340::1/29.
Not sure if that's what you want.
Thank you very much, oloke!
are they even still in business? still displayin end of year deals with a stuck 0 countdown seems sus
RackNerd has been doing that for ages
well they're not someone i'd buy anything from either
