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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hey all! I'm looking for a solid and somewhat inexpensive US-based vps provider and it seems like all of the top 10 lists from media sites are focusing on beginner friendliness and web hosting which I don't really care about

Any favorites?

It's all about your use case(s), then it's a question of are you looking for a single VPS node, do you need it spun up asap, or are you just generally looking for a place to spin up cheap-ish nodes for different uses as needed?

DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr are common low price options.

Amazon Lightsail if you already have an AWS account, but it's not on the lowest end for pricing on VPS.

OVH if you want a lot of different options for nearly any price range, and may want performance from bare metal or private cloud options down the line for any reason.
