It now takes ~10 seconds to set up your own Small Web¹ place using Domain².

This was closer to one-minute last week.

Been working towards this for six years… That’s ~10 seconds to get up and running with your own Small Web place at your own VPS server and at your own domain name.

Can owning your own place on the Web be as simple as setting up a Facebook account? Yes. Likely simpler. And this brings us one step closer to that goal.

A demonstration of how quick it now is to deploy your own Small Web place using Domain

In this video I demonstrate that it takes ~10 seconds to provision your own Small Web domain. Last week, this process took close to one minute. I was able to reduce…

🎉 w00t! Just got deployment from pre-warmed servers working for the first time :)

Will post a screen capture once I’ve cleaned up the interface.

It’s single-digit seconds to deploy your own Small Web place (server) at your own domain!

(I’ve been working towards this moment for the past six years so apologies if I sound like a giddy schoolboy.)

This is approximately how long it takes to deploy a Small Web¹ place currently using Domain² (under a minute).

I plan on reducing that another order of magnitude to single-digit seconds by the end of the week.

(Made a recording so we can compare it afterwards.) ;)

… and why I’ve had to build so much infrastructure in the past few years. It wasn’t just to reinvent the wheel but to have control over every aspect of the experience.

Well, it’s getting closer to being a reality and I’m really excited to hopefully finally be able to share what will be the culmination of the last decade of my work with more of you starting this year.
