A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi community, wanted to know your opinions on the various VPS companies offering compute boxes in the cloud. Which one do you use, why, and what do you recommend for someone who has a $15 budget for a decently powerful box(es)?

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll have a look at all of them!

If I may add, Hetzner gives 1TB of storage for $3 a month, if anyone needs extra storage!

Thirding vultr. Their control panel is great and I've been running my Lemmy instance on it for a few months with no issues. You can have automatic backups for an extra 20% as well.

They are quite expensive imo. Someone recommended Contabo and I'm looking that way, economically speaking (using a VPS seems to be a better financial decision in my case).

Thanks!

What OS are you using for lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu 22.04 with Lemmy Easy deploy because I'm lazy.

What did you intend to do with the vps?

Run podman containers and some LXCs. Mostly related to media, some OSINT, some IOT, run my own search engine etc.
