I know this isn't exactly self-hosted, but does anyone have experience with this? (www.knthost.com)

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.

Yeah, that's partially why I'd need info as to if this Lemmy host is legit. I have the domain (technically), and if the price jumps I'd be ok with that. I paid upfront for a couple years at $1/yr. Yeah, the registrar might screw me over, but at the price I've paid, there's not a lot of risk. I really need feedback on the Lemmy host.
