Comment on Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose.

For me, self-hosting is about staying in control over your software and data, so I think hosting in a VPS still fits the bill, even if it isn’t the way most people go about it

Aren’t you partially not in control? If that hardware gets nuked some how then you’re compromised

  True, but you’d still have a lot more control over your stuff than say, some Microsoft or Google product

  Sure, but with proper backups, you can be up and running somewhere else quickly, minutes even if you script it.
  
  I mostly use it to get around CGNAT, but it totally makes sense for something that needs to be externally available anyway, like a Minecraft server.
