@brugeman GM!, I create a npub pro site yesterday, really fast, sweet. I like the tags filter for the homepage, navigation and other custom options, AND that it has code injection section, really cool. After creating the site, I gave it a try to the self hosted version, to complicate my life more I hosted it on Netifly as for test I figure it would be easier, just drag and drop the zip file and connect my subdomain. that site is now here https://nostr.javierfeliu.com/ . I change the "website address" on the npub admin panel. to this new address. The npub site is

 First issue is that I obviously have two site, how do I keep the self host version if I desire to, without having two versions? I guess I could delete, but that will no longer give me the option to download the zip file every time I make an update to settings, correct? Second, I try to connect my domain in npub pro, but then I realize it will conflict with my set up in netifly, as essentially will direct both to the same subdomain. AND that is for the paid pro version you offer (wish I very well take at some point). I am just playing with it right now. If, selfhosted, I just change the web address, but not touch domain right? (as seen in the instructions) I just add the records npub ask if I am planning to take your premium tier? The version hosted in your server, its considerably faster to load. On phone, i can zap both sites, no problem, on desktop just the npub version, not the self hosted(it stay loading..) Thank you for any feedback if you have some! Have a good day

Hi, sorry for long reply, was away for a couple days. You don't need to re-upload the zip file after each settings update - settings are saved on nostr and the code inside zip file will take new settings from nostr. The only reason to reupload the zip file would be some big updates to our code (minor updates are auto-propagated now). For now we're just rendering all sites on our servers - there are probably less then a dozen of self-hosted ones so we didn't bother to come up with special handling for them. The only real issue with having two sites is duplicate content that might confuse Google - but you won't be getting much search traffic anyways for starters, so that's not a big priority for now. If you attach your subdomain to npub.pro then it will no longer point to netlify (you'll need to remove netlify's dns records), so there can't be much conflict there. I'm not sure I understand the question about the paid plan and DNS settings, please let me know more. Re. zaps - I just zapped on your self-hosted site, there shouldn't be any difference, please try reloading the page or clear cache etc. The self-hosted version is client-side rendered, so first page load is slow, but then both self-hosted and us-hosted versions work the same - rendering happens in the browser, so they should be equally fast after the first load. Server-side rendered self-hosted version will be available later. Thanks for a lot of feedback!
