Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This is usually done by owner of the IP address block. If this is for a VPS or similar it will be your hosting provider. If you get a static IP from your internet service provider you will have to speak to them. Although depending on the policy of the provider this may be a business option only.
You are right, more specifically in case anyone is curious it usually has to be whomever owns the public IP addresses because that is who would own the reverse zone for that IP block according to the internet root dns servers in most circumstances. In OPs case you are probably right, this is probably the VPS provider but not always.
Thank you so much. Luckily my ISP has been nice so far, I guess we'll see.
