If you do end up going for it, Lemmy Easy Deploy is the tool I used and it’s awesome. I had no success with any other guide.
It was pretty easy with that tool. The overhead isn’t too bad but I recommend not going below 2GB of memory. I rode along on 1GB for a little while to see how things went, and it topped out quite a bit. I pay a little extra for automatic backups too which is worth the peace of mind. It’s about ~$18/month with Digital Ocean.
There’s a whole community around finding affordable hosting for a variety of use cases. https://lowendtalk.com/
I found my current provider there and on Black Friday they were offering an exclusive lowendtalk deal (called the 6666) where I pay $66 every 2 years and get 6gb ram 6vcpus and 66GB disk and 6tb transfer on a 10gbps line.
these smaller hosts won’t have all the same features digital ocean and vultr have like 1-click templates.
Thanks for this link! I’m on Vultr, which is good, but it’s around $7 a month with only 25GB of storage. Think I’ll pick up one of the Ethernet Servers deals.

Damn. I paid racknerds $25/yr for 2cpu and 2.5gb of RAM. Runs great, and rather lean to be honest.
Wow, killer price! I need to check that out. I’ve had my Digital Ocean account for so long I’m on autopilot lmao.

I honestly don’t really need any of the 1-click stuff. I pretty much live in the command line, so the main thing is bringing down cost for the future.
That’s a really good deal! Thanks for the heads up. I’m gonna start looking around.
I found out about it here. There was a thread a few weeks back. Search for racknerds in this community.
I think they’re still running their 4th of July special.
