first@last.com would be ideal, I use first@firstlast.com, but that wont be good for sharing. I would stick to a common TLD at least (.com, .net, .org, or a country) for deliverability.

I'm actually thinking of buying a gun, which is crazy because I've been opposed to them my whole life.

Check out Lunanode. Cheapest option is 3.50 a month and bonus points for being Canadian. I just recently set my VPS up there and am really pleased with them. Afaik they support your needs including custom ISO.

I have an HP printer

If its a mission critical use, I would stick to a more common TLD (com, org, net, etc). Country TLDs should be okay too.

Just use open source software?

I'm actually pretty pleased so far. I had to contact support to sort out a payment problem but they were incredibly quick to help me out. I think the price performance is pretty decent, but my needs are very minimal. The web ui is really straightforward as well, really no complaints.

I'm currently switching all my computing/cloud stuff over to Canadian and/or EU providers. I'm going to move my domains to Easy DNS and try out a VPS from LunaNode.

Also worth noting that they themselves are an American company for anyone that is concerned about that.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an S3 provider? I'm looking at Hetzner and OVH.

Long time customer and super happy with Fastmail. Its a bit pricy but the service is great.
