Just go for the shortest domains, short domain names carry a premium. Or rip through /usr/share/dict/words. Or both.

You can host most basic web apps off a raspberry pi. You just need to:

1. connect your device to the internet
2. start your server application
3. set up port forwarding on your router to forward the port your application is being hosted on
4. get a domain name
5. configure ddns
6. Maybe get some SSL certs

Edit: BearOfaTime brings up a great point. I’m telling you how to do what you asked but you probably shouldn’t. If you do, try to airgap the server from your personal network as best as you can

Edit edit: You know people will let you use their servers for small projects for free right? Check out https://ctrl-c.club/#what or hang out in the LowEndTalk forums and provide quality input and enter some of the giveaways for server space

Although the drawback to ctrl-c club is that you’re not going to get full control of how you install libraries and applications

I’m a big fan of unraid but I will admit it’s overkill for a simple media server.

A synology NAS should be plenty powerful enough for most streaming needs so long as you’re willing to let your media transcode first and you’re not streaming to too many devices at once.

I use my unraid NAS to run sonar/radarr/readarr/prowlarr, stable diffusion, myjdownloader, a few vms and at one point even my lemmy instance. But honestly aside from stable diffusion and the VMs a synology NAS should have enough power to run a handful of other apps in addition to plex/jellyfin

how so?
