Over the next week or so I’m sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I’ve certainly been looking at it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider / resource allocation?
From what I have read, it sounds like you’re going to want a host that focuses on storage / bandwidth (at least if you are allowing image upload), but maybe those of you already operating an instance have a different opinion?
Will probably move my instance there. Have it on digital ocean.
What don’t you like about DO servers?
Nothing against them at all. I’m looking for something cheaper for my usecase. I want to host an instance just for myself and a couple friends.
Linode is a decently cheap service; I have a, currently small, Lemmy instance I’m running on 1 core, and 2gb of ram for 12$usd/month.
