A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Not heard of any of these!
I used to use Bytemark, but switched to Mythic Beasts.
Good that you’ve put the work in to compile your list, but for anyone new; this is a list of C-tier hosts, and seems to have a pretty strong focus on “privacy” hosts - some of the privacy features can be nice, but it can be a double edged sword. By using a privacy focussed host, you end up co-habitating with other privacy focussed users, which tends to have a higher-than-average concentration of sketchy or outright criminal users. This can have an impact on IP reputation and other operational issues, even if you aren’t doing anything sketchy yourself
“cock box” they sound… Reputable.
tbh GoDaddy looks sussy too if you didn’t know better lol
And if you do know, they are even more sketch
Their vos price isn’t bad, but keep in mind no refunds if you buy a year of service.
Non-refundable registration fees are standard in the industry; I was referring to their notoriously predatory “extra add-ons” that they hard-sell on people. Also, in my experience, they are easily 25-50% more expensive
u rite
Their older TV ads didnt help
Oh no, I didn’t even know those existed
Oh they’re terrible
Thanks I hate it
fastpipe.io is closing down!
I recommend checking out lowendtalk.com if you’re shopping for VPS hosting providers.
Also recommend https://lowendspirit.com/
AFAIK LET do shenanigans like requiring service providers to pay to create post there now.
VPS hosting coparison if all you care about is crypto support.
That guy again… I just repost what i commented last time:
It isn’t Digdeeper
it’s the same guy but it’s not from the same site. that website doesn’t have a VPS comparison.
