For someone new to self hosting can you recommend cheap VPS to try simple things with? Can pay by hour like some cloud servers let you do or pay full month in advance.

Oracle free tier or look at Low End Box $1/mo page at: https://lowendbox.com/blog/1-vps-1-usd-vps-per-month/

I use both.

Tread lightly with that oracle recommendation even if its working perfectly for you because people in this sub really dislike it.

What about "oracle can randomly remove everything you have" don't you understand?

I don't think it's as random as people make it out to be.

I'm using mine since 2 years now and I got a deletion warning because it was flagged inactive (low CPU usage).

Since then I have a bogus CPU intensive task running in the background and it's still going over 6 months after the warning.

Lots of people probably don't check their mails or break ToS in such a way that they don't even get a warning.
