I want to selfhost my own personal website. This is just for fun, as a hobby and to show off my skills to others. nothing big.

I have my own server home but I want to have something that’s separate from my personal stuff.

I do not need any support, meaning it can be as cheap as possible. I do not yet know how much RAM or CPU or storage I need. I guess CPU > 2GHz and 2GB RAM should be enough to start.

daily/weekly backup with rsync in case the hoster goes out of business.

I do not need a domain, I will use a dynamic dns hoster.

    I have had no problems with Racknerd… That being said I just use my VPS and a tunnel back to my home server but totally worth the $22 is cost me a year.

      What’s with that crazy price jump from $23/year to $18/month? Doubling RAM and cores increases prices by 9x? 2GB RAM and 2 cores is $5-6 at Hetzner, no idea how they think $18/month for 1GB RAM and 2 cores is competitive in any way, that’s a bit of a dark pattern IMO…

        Scummy, but not uncommon really. Bring in customers at the cheap tier and then once they’re in your ecosystem overcharge for the higher tiers.
