raindog308 is a longtime community LETizen, technical writer, and self-described techno polymath. With deep roots in the *nix world, he has a passion for systems both modern and vintage, ranging from Unix, Perl, Python, and Golang to shell scripting and mainframe-era operating systems like MVS. He’s equally comfortable with relational database systems, having spent years working with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, raindog308 runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
Beyond the command line, raindog308 has a life-long love of German Shepherd Dogs, high-quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop RPGs, playing guitar, and hiking in deep, quiet forests.
His goal with every article is to help users, from beginners to seasoned sysadmins, get more value, performance, and enjoyment out of their infrastructure.

This discount reoccurs every now and then (i think last time in December and before that in September 2020).
While this is a really really good offer, one should keep in mind that netim yet has to offer some pro features.
I got an additional .eu Domain today (and now have a total of 3 discounted ones valid until beyond 2030 – that sounds very looong).
The DNS management WebUi seems like it needs a major overhaul. You can’t set a TTL for A/AAAA records as far as i can tell. No DynDNS service available. Editing RR is not possible, you have to recreate them.
Maybe minor things if you just want to “secure” a .eu domain and i’d still recommend to use it, but cheap is not only the price.
Great discount!
Zone.ee has the same discount
