I feel like this is at least tangentially connected to self hosting, so I’m asking here. I’m interested in finding a cloud provider to host my own Lemmy server (similar to what Masto.host does with Mastodon). I’ve been looking around for all the different options available, and I haven’t found many. Communick.com and elest.io are the ones I’ve found. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these, or if anyone has any other recommendations to consider.

    I had it for some time — like more than a couple of months — and then I just added my credit card and never worry about it. The hardest part actually was getting a server provisioned, since you can’t change your region after account creation, and there’s no way to know if there’s ARM resources available for you to provision upon in your selected region.

        Me too, it took about a week before it became provisioned. Definitely not one of those “I’ve got some time this weekend to go from sign up to up and running” kind of thing.
