GULP I did it! Just bought my first dedicated server hosting space! (Debian 12 - 32GB RAM - 4x1TB SATA RAID 10) with the intention of moving my @alberniweather website and other small sites currently hosted on shared space and dying regularly. $CAD60/mo.

Also might move this #fediverse #selfhost so #footiMac can rest.

Thank you to everyone who shared suggestions on open-source web/server admin software.

VirtualMin and ISPConfig are the strongest candiates for me right now.

kevinlovestech,

@chris I love the idea of self-hosting Mastodon. Tried it on my NAS and realized I have no idea what I'm doing and shouldn't be doing it, despite instructions online.

Happy here on mstdn.ca and donating $15/mo. :)

@kevinlovestech we all have our comfort levels. This is a little above my comfort level currently but I've committed now to working up to it!

kevinlovestech,

@chris Given your detailed blog post about it, I'd say it's certainly something you're capable of doing.

I'm good with just logging into WP for my home biz stuff and letting someone else I trust handle the backend. :)
