I gone through a lot of hosting service providers and unfortunetly cannot find a single one that can be used without running nonfree programs, all of them require loading bulky JavaScript apps.

I know of Codeberg Pages for example, but it is not suitable for business use.

You can use Ansible to create domain names and register URLs on most popular hosting providers/registrars.

You shouldn't avoid platforms just because they have non-free websites, that's extreme bro.

Yeah. The idea of not using a domain registrar because they optimize for the 90% use case (web management) seems pretty extreme to me. But if OP is against web sites, I don't know how they'll read the docs for something like using Terraform to manage domains at Cloudflare. It is an option but it's also the 10% use case.

Heck, if you want to really want to be a luddite you could use the raw API! :) Most hosting platforms/registrars can be commanded with just curl.
