Ah, this web site, which I thought was the only place where you could register, says it is based in New York, so they can’t register new ones, which web site did you use to register it?

https://register.su/

One Russian research organization, ripn.su, is responsible for registering domains in the .su zone. They in turn assign registrars, here is a complete list: https://ripn.su/domen-su/spisok-registratorov/ (use Google Translate). I registered with beget.com.

Although I think they will refuse you if you can’t prove your identity. Documents issued in Europe, USA, UK and so on are not suitable for proof of identity.

PS: $29.95 per year is very expensive, Russian registrars charge $4-6 per year.

I live in Russia. This is the reason why the domain and server are hosted by Russian providers.

The 20KB limit is just on your own server I hope, not an hard limit of the software, right?

Yes, it’s a non-rigid restriction. The default is 10,000 instead of 20,000. You can also disable this limit completely if you want.

The restriction on the length of the paste is due to the following:

• It will be difficult for client’s browser to render large HTML.
• Code highlighting is done by the server, not by JavaScript. Accordingly here is a trivial saving the CPU.

Convos.chat is a really cool IRC client that has a build in paste-bin.

The client is really cool. I’ve been looking for a client that can be online 24/7. Thank you.

But I still don’t regret making Lenpaste because I use it for mail and messengers (Slack, Telegram, Discord, Matrix) at the same time. I’m amazed that even Slack has trouble inserting a big chunk of code or logs.
