You'd have to setup your own DNS nameservers, using PowerDNS or BIND9. If you're used to the web interface I'd look into PowerDNS and Poweradmin to manage your domain(s).

I've set up dedicated servers before (similar to VPS). If I did that, then I'd need to know how to get the DNS to point to that server. In the past, I've just done that through my registrar, but I'm not sure how that works with OpenNIC domains. I'll have to do a bit of reading on that.

Thank for the SSL info. Since almost no one will be able to reach the site anyway without being able to modify their DNS, I suppose asking them to accept a self-signed cert isn't much more to ask of them.

Thank you Christopher. I'll take a look.

Amrit, thank you for the info.

Daniel, thank you. I'll take a look.

Perhaps you could consider buying a VPS and doing it yourself? It isn't that much more expensive than a hosting plan and it provides a lot more in terms of flexibility and reliability. As low as $5/mo at DigitalOcean. 

I was thinking of providing hosting services for .o users but I don't have anything setup yet, or else I'd suggest that, ah well. 

You're not going to be able to use Let's Encrypt with OpenNIC domains, they don't support our namespace.

I tried to get DreamHost to manually add my .o domain, but in January
they said they won't. (I've been too busy to investigate further until now)

Does anyone know a hosting company that will let you use OpenNIC domains?

Bonus if they allow/facilitate Let's Encrypt SSL certs.
