Hello dear reader, when this post gets uploaded I should have everything rolled out for my new tld and hopefully everything is working ok. For those visiting from the website mirror outside of neocities, jordanherzstein.xyz should now redirect to jordanherzstein.com but by the beginning of next year I will not be renewing the domain. If you cared about contacting me via email before, the contact email will now simply be contact@jordanherzstein.com. I have changed both my domain name as well as my domain registrar from Namecheap to Porkbun, which you may be wondering; why have I done this?

The story behind using .xyz for a year
I bought the .xyz domain before I started hosting this site outside of neocities. I was mainly using it for some homelab projects that I wanted a domain for to eventually host a website. I found .xyz to be one of the cheaper options on a popular registrar called Namecheap (“Only $2 a year!?”), though it wouldn’t continue to be as cheap as I had anticipated… more on that later.
