I’ve been looking at some static page options as well as some FOSS alternatives, just haven’t pulled the trigger since I’m not super concerned about it.
Ultimately though my primary domain actually just points to NGINX Proxy Manager which hands off to everything else.
I just have a static page that I randomly change - you can see mine here. In this case I was testing the idea of having text within an SVG for better scaling from mobile to desktop, and also I’m loving orange and purple at the moment for some reason! Oh, and I was testing automated deployments from CI/CD, so I always use my own base domain with those first tests!
One of these days, I plan to build up a neat blog with some static site generator like Nikola. Or maybe host documentation about everything I do with bookstack or wiki.js.
I’m embarrassed to say the default page. Many moons ago I used to host a wordpress blog there but I’m exceptionally lazy and rarely ever posted. The upkeep on Wordpress just wasn’t worth the hassle.
Every so often I think about starting a basic tech blog for those, “hey here’s how I fixed this weird edge case”, posts that have saved my butt 1000x over.
Same here. It just says “nginx has been successfully installed” or something like that. It serves the appropriate directories or redirects to the respective virtual machines for other (sub) domains.
I do something similar, then fail2ban immediately bans the ip for a few hours. The only people going to my root domain are people i do not want sniffing around. It also does the same if you dont pass in my domain at all (and are just hitting random ips).
Used to have nginx point the default location to an abyss web server, but I didn’t carry the setup forward when I upgraded the OS. It’s a 503 now.
Several other locations are pointing to:
my homebrewed file server. Initially to replace abtssws’s piss poor directory listing performance, but now a frankensteinian being that has a comic reader of my own build, specs, and preference.
an icecast server streaming whatever my foobar2k is playing, so I can listen to my library on the go.
A index.html file that says “There’s nothing here”. Not even a special http status. I have subdomains with freshrss, dokuwiki, XBackBone, and whatever I’m tinkering with, but I can’t be bothered to maintain anything public. I guess I have personal websites I haven’t touched since 2012?

I installed WordPress just to tinker with: https://robotra.sh

A dashboard of available services just seems like the correct choice to me, so I use Heimdall
Internally, Organizr. Externally, a picture of my cat being cute when he was a kitten.
Take this award 🏆 and give it to your cat
I redirect to “Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up” on Youtube.
OMG same! xD
God darn Satan, youre evil
I’ve got a base64 encoded URL to that video in one of my DNS records somewhere. I think it’s called “secret” and it’s a TXT record.
I redirect to IIS.net just to be annoying.

For now, it just redirects to a rickroll.

I pipe fortune through cowsay through lolcat through aha with header and footers going through toilet.
And that makes for a very useful home page 🤣
Mine returns a 404, but on purpose. Everything I want internet-facing is behind a cloudflare tunnel on appropriate subdomains.

That’s great!
My personal blog that is a bit abandoned right now
A horrible wannabe commandline, gaze ye eyes upon the horror https://drkt.eu
I want that! What is it?
Merely janky javascript :p https://drkt.eu/script.js
Thanks!
That’s cool!
That’s cool!
I like this question! I had several subdomains running and didn’t have a clue what to do with my host domain for the longest time.
I ended up pointing my host domain at an instance of searx-ng.
