Hi! Your protocol doesn't have to be hosted anywhere. Your protocol will still work if you use a uri that's not resolvable aka it returns a 404. But the point of it is for it to be unique and descriptive. That way you can identify it between other protocols..and you know what it's being used for. My strategy for now is I usually use a domain I already own..which is blackgirlbytes.dev and then I add on something that describes the protocol like https://blackgirlbytes.dev/chat-protocol or https://blackgirlbytes.dev/contacts-protocol These addresses will lead you to a 404, but they help me know what the protocol is supposed to do.
