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?
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.
