Not exactly a self-hosting thing, but I’d like to know if anyone has experience with this service. Is it worth it? A scam? I don’t know. I don’t really have the hardware to truly self-host a Lemmy instance (mostly because of storage restrictions), but I’d like to know if this service that seems cheap for what it offers if legit.

I know that this isn’t a pure self hosting question, but I nailed .com domain for $1/year and was wondering if it’s actually worth doing this. Any insight is appreciated.

Editing to add that I’d love to do pure self-hosting here, but storage is a real issue.

    I can’t; I’m out of the loop with VPS providers. I think if I needed one nowadays I’d look at small providers located near me.

    I was using Linode for my many web apps and self-hosting projects until fairly recently, but when Akamai rebranded them and raised prices I moved to a Hetzner dedicated host, which worked out cheaper with my workloads. I run everything in LXC containers, all of which join my Tailscale/Headscale tailnet, and all of which get backed up to both my local NAS and to rsync.net (using rclone’s crypt module).
