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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

In general everyone should use 1-2 servers, 10 is not exactly a low number. Even in the most boring players like AWS, using 1 month and paying the bill will already give you higher limits.
My identity infrastructure alone uses a whole bunch of servers.
There are the three Kerberos servers, the two clusters of multiple LDAP servers behind HAProxy, the rabbitmq servers to pass requests around, the web servers also balanced/HA behind HAProxy... For me, service reliability and security are two of the biggest factors, so I isolate services and use HA when available.
Just for yourself? Why not rent or colo a dedicated server or two or three and install a hypervisor? What all do you even run for yourself that needs 25 servers?
Maybe OP is not doing this just as a hobby and has actual serious workloads?
I've had this kind of problem with Vultr, i was very pissed off when I found it but their support raised my limits when I explained what I'm migrating. I also had the comfort of being able to migrate in stages, 10 machines in the first month, then the rest. Maybe this appropach would work for you.
Credit card companies and Paypal are a big problem to hosting companies. They will happily apply chargeback after you provided a month of service to your client, because it took them a month to detect the transaction was fraudulent. How is it the hosting company's problem?
Yeah maybe. I just read it as it's personal stuff based on this line.
I manage a very large OpenStack cluster for my day job and we just give people what they pay for.
Sounds really expensive... Do you have enough traffic to require so many servers?
it wasn't a criticism of your project, it's just a layer of security for these companies. you asked for a raise and they apparently responded promptly.
