Onion Domain Name

Hi guys,

I am going to create home server these days to host an onion website.

I found a tool that is very old (over 12 years) called Shallot that generetes you random keys till it find something that has a ‘word’ that you wanna have in your domain.

For example I prefer my .onion domain to something like this:

DELYAKOVafshwhgn.onion
(it is starting with my last name ‘Delyakov’)

Rather than something like this:

dgsjrvxudwndodxg.onion
(nothing easy to remember in this one)

So I have two questions:

  1. Can you guys give me some idea how to do it, but not so outdated?

  2. If I success to generete key with domain name like the first one above that is starting with ‘delyakov’ and host my website, but in a moment in the future my home server goes down (crash or sth like this), do I need to generete keys again or the keys for the domain remains the same?

Thank you for the help in advance!
Dimitar Delyakov
