Not exactly a self-hosting thing, but I’d like to know if anyone has experience with this service. Is it worth it? A scam? I don’t know. I don’t really have the hardware to truly self-host a Lemmy instance (mostly because of storage restrictions), but I’d like to know if this service that seems cheap for what it offers if legit.

I know that this isn’t a pure self hosting question, but I nailed .com domain for $1/year and was wondering if it’s actually worth doing this. Any insight is appreciated.

Editing to add that I’d love to do pure self-hosting here, but storage is a real issue.

    I don’t know this host but hosts that will spin up single services like this for you are fairly common. Tons of people use them for Mastodon hosting.

    I’d consider just using cloud hosting or getting a VPS though, with which you’ll be able to do much more.

      I’ve been waiting for the free Oracle cloud to open up (I know that’s super rare). Is there a goof VPS you can recommend?

        I can’t; I’m out of the loop with VPS providers. I think if I needed one nowadays I’d look at small providers located near me.

        I was using Linode for my many web apps and self-hosting projects until fairly recently, but when Akamai rebranded them and raised prices I moved to a Hetzner dedicated host, which worked out cheaper with my workloads. I run everything in LXC containers, all of which join my Tailscale/Headscale tailnet, and all of which get backed up to both my local NAS and to rsync.net (using rclone’s crypt module).
