I want to selfhost my own personal website. This is just for fun, as a hobby and to show off my skills to others. nothing big.
I have my own server home but I want to have something that’s separate from my personal stuff.
I do not need any support, meaning it can be as cheap as possible. I do not yet know how much RAM or CPU or storage I need. I guess
CPU > 2GHz and 2GB RAM should be enough to start.
daily/weekly backup with rsync in case the hoster goes out of business.
I do not need a domain, I will use a dynamic dns hoster.
Racknerd. I have two VPS with them for a total of $25/year. not as feature filled as any of the big players but it’s dirt cheap. Found them on https://lowendbox.com/

I have two of their basic VPS and they’ve worked well. My few interactions with customer service has been less than awesome though.
