Hi Lemmings,
Has anyone here self hosted a SimpleLogin instance? Would you recommend it compared to paying for their service?
I’m looking at starting a test instance of it in the future but I’m curious how well it handles multiple user accounts and multiple domains or whether I need an instance per-user or per-domain.
I selfhost on a cheap VPS I found on LowEndBox. The security setup (not SimpleLogin) was more involved than SimpleLogin. Pretty easy to get working and I’ve had not a single issue in 1.5 years of selfhosting it. I pay $11/yr for the VPS compared to $30/yr for SimpleLogin.
With regard to your specific questions - I’ve only selfhosted for myself with one domain. You can add multiple users and domains though.
