There seems to be a lot of options when it comes to companies to host with. Anyone have a favorite they'd rec to someone or companies to avoid?

Or, alternatively, anyone have recommendations for things to host? Things you're glad your self-hosting or glad you aren't self-hosting?

I recommend Vultr for hosting and epik for domain name. my notes;

The Minimal Internet Blogger Starter Set

your main static website (nginx-certbot) ^get^ ^started^^/^^youtube^ ^link^
Writefreely - Blog ^alternatives^ ^get^ ^started^
Pleroma - Social Network ^get^ ^started^
Nextcloud - work backups and Cloud ^get^ ^started^
XMPP/Matrix - Instant Messaging (Matrix is not recommended for weak cpus)^get^ ^started^^XMPP^^/^^Matrix^
Email Server^get^ ^started^^/^^youtube^ ^link^

when setting up secure login keep in mind you're supposed to edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config not ssh_config, a little mistake from luke smith.

your static website is the most important thing for visitors. put everything there is to know about you here. make a good first impression. I would even put my blogs in my static website.
