After comparing various domain name registrars, I chose to buy my domain name from Porkbun for its competitive price for domain names. The `leilukin.com` domain name was not taken, so I seized the opportunity to place an order for it, and later succeeded in purchasing and registering it as my own.

Upon owning `leilukin.com`, I followed Netlify's instructions to set up DNS records to point `leilukin.com` to my website on Netlify. I lacked experience in such things, so it took a bit longer for me to set it up properly, but I eventually did it. Visiting `leilukin.com` will lead you to Leilukin's Hub on Netlify.

Since Porkbun provides an email forwarding feature for its domain names for free, I also decided to make use of it and set up a new email address with the `leilkin.com` domain name, `contact@leilukin.com`, and forward emails sent to this address to my Outlook mailbox. This means now you can email me at contact@leilukin.com.

After researching ways to redirect web pages, I used JavaScript, specifically the [`location.replace()` method](https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_loc_replace.asp), for two reasons: it removes `leilukin.neocities.org` from page history, and using JavaScript allows me to write custom code to ensure only the domain gets changed, while the rest of the URL's path remains intact. For example, if you visit `leilukin.neocities.org/blog`, you will get redirected to `leilukin.com/blog`.

I have been considering the idea of creating a microblog or tumbleblog for my website.

Tumblr has served me adequately for this purpose, which is one of the reasons it remains the social media platform I am the most active on since 2011 (yes, this means I have been on Tumblr for 13 years at this point). However, one of the reasons I eventually decided to create my own website was to not relying on social media to share my creations and interests. Therefore, an ideal Tumblr-style microblog for Leilukin's Hub would be self-hosted and sharing the same domain name of `leilukin.com`. After struggling to figure out how to implement a tumbleblog for Leilukin's Hub, I finally discovered the ideal blogging engine for my needs: [Chyrp Lite](https://chyrplite.net/).

Chyrp Lite has everything I am looking for to build a self-hosted Tumblr-style blog. The website explicitly states that you can have a tumbleblog with the blogging engine, with feathers that allow you to make not only text posts, but also image posts, audio posts, video posts, quote posts, link posts and even posts with files attached to allow visitors to download. Chyrp Lite is written in PHP, so it cannot be hosted on platforms that support static sites only, such as Neocities, GitHub Pages, Netlify (which is where `leilukin.com` is currently hosted on), etc. This is where [InfinityFree](https://www.infinityfree.com/) came in.

InfinityFree is among the few hosting platforms that provides PHP and MySQL support for free, so I had created an InfinityFree account to start learning about PHP, even before discovering Chyrp Lite. In addition, InfinityFree supports custom domain without additional charges, so I have also added the `leilukin.com` domain name to my InfinityFree account, in case I need to host something with PHP and want to use a subdomain of `leilukin.com` for it. Now, I got to make use of what I learned to build this tumbleblog for Leilukin's Hub.

I started with adding a `tumbleblog.leilukin.com` custom subdomain to InfinityFree, configuring the DNS records on Porkbun (which manages the `leilukin.com` domain name), and requesting a free SSL certificate from InfinityFree to add HTTPS support to this blog. After making sure the `tumbleblog.leilukin.com` subdomain is ready, I followed the [Quick Start Guide](https://chyrplite.net/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide.html) to set up Chyrp Lite, by uploading the blogging engine's files to InfinityFree with FTP, creating a MySQL database for this tumbleblog, and installing Chyrp Lite into my InfinityFree server. At last, I successfully installed Chyrp Lite on InfinityFree.

[Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/), which previously hosted the main site of Leilukin's Hub, does not support PHP hosting, so I hosted my tumbleblog and fanlisting collective on [InfinityFree](https://www.infinityfree.com/), one of the very few platforms to provide PHP and MySQL website hosting for free. InfinityFree has been a decent platform for PHP and MySQL beginners to experiment with the languages, however as you might have expected, its free hosting plan comes with limitations.

While Hostinger provides domain registration and transfer service, I chose to have the `leilukin.com` domain name stay with [Porkbun](https://porkbun.com/), because I already spent money on the domain name, so Hostinger's hosting plan providing domain name registration for free for the first year does not benefit me.

In addition, Porkbun's renewal rate for domain names is cheaper than Hostinger. For example, Porkbun renews the `.com` domain extension at 10.37 USD per year, while Hostinger renews at 15.99 USD per year. Even the Malaysian Ringgit pricing of Hostinger's domain renewal rate for `.com`, 55.99 MYR per year, is still more expansive than Porkbun's approximately 48.3 MYR per year rate.
