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.
It is an issue for me because the only machine I have is my daily driver laptop, and I’d really rather not take up even that 35GB if it can be helped.
What about a pi and an external drive?
I mean sure, that would be great, but I don’t have that.
I was just providing a possible low cost solution. Either way, keep up the self hosting good work!
Ah yeah it sucks to host on your actual computer, especially if you are using the laptop portably. I just wanted to point out storage isn’t too bad if setup right. Best of luck finding a good host for your needs!
