I was interested in hosting a Lemmy instance, but im not sure what company offers a good server (price/quality), do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

    I’d recommend Hetzner. They have many good options for a server with good prices and a Lemmy instance can be run on a server with lesser specs. The servers can be easily created and managed with a web UI. Like, my instance runs on a server with a dual core CPU, 4 gigs of ram and 40 gigs of disk space. It costs only ~6 € per month.

    If it needs to be in the US, digital ocean or linode are pretty cheap. But OVH and hetzner are pry the best overall.

    I use Vultr they are fine for the price but I plan to look for alternatives as well (just to see if there is something better out.

      I’ve seen the image in the Hetzner interface, but I wonder what’s the benefit of using Arch as a server? I use Arch on my personal computers, but I’d be a bit afraid of using it as a production server. Is it that people want to use what they are used to?

          what do you do if it breaks and your backup doesn’t restore properly? You’d have to back up every single file including the OS with Arch because it’s completely non-deterministic.

          If you want a rolling release OS on servers you’re probably better off with NixOS.
