Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hi! I selfhost a lot of stuff, but I'd like to have some services outside my LAN. Like uptimekuma or maybe a unifiedpush server. What cheap hosters can you recommend? I already have a spare domain name, and one criteria is European location.

Thanks!

Also netcup has really good deals during the winter holidays

I think I get those emails twice a year. And it's usually same price and double storage for the VPSes. Can recommend netcup.de as well. They used to be a bit cheaper than today, but I guess every hoster increased price within the last year.

The RAM and Storage costs have skyrocketed due to AI. My home server is running 64GB because I just happened to have a kit laying around from an old project.

Yes. I've been somewhat lucky as well. Upgraded my homeserver to 48GB to run a few virtual machines and maxed out my old laptop well before prices skyrocketed. Got to check if I still pay the ~8€ a month for my netcup VPS or if they increased price for existing customers as well...
