Best Providers for hosting a Lemmy Instance? (self.selfhosted)

Over the next week or so I'm sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I've certainly been looking at it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider / resource allocation?

From what I have read, it sounds like you're going to want a host that focuses on storage / bandwidth (at least if you are allowing image upload), but maybe those of you already operating an instance have a different opinion?

Server is performing nicely. NTP (timesyncd) is running. I have no idea how to see federation queues. Please contact me on matrix @ruud:h-y-p-e-r.space if you want to troubleshoot together.

I'm brand new to the fediverse; tried to message you via Matrix using Element -- @chiisana:matrix.org -- not sure if I did it correctly or tried to invite you to a room on the Lemmy space. Hope we can some how connect :)

Not sure about seeing queue stats directly but the logs should be pretty noisy if there aren't enough federation workers to process the queue efficiently.

There was info from the devs here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1216911

E: I see you already commented there, so you already know. It seems the value was raised to 160k by the lemmy.ml instance though

Thanks for notifying. I raised it to 200k now.
