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)?
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).
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

What OS are you using for lemmy?
Ubuntu 22.04 with Lemmy Easy deploy because I’m lazy.

Thanks!
