Comment on Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?

  I am confused why you think it requires additional software. For example, I personally use DigitalOcean, and that allows you to spin up servers via their website. No extra software needed.

    When registering on DigitalOcean: “You need JavaScript to run this app”.

    Okey, so let’s check this scripts: ui-cdn.digitalocean.com/…/main.9e36ba61.js

    Seems like an extra software to me.

      You need Javascript to run things like remote consoles and metrics dashboards. I don’t think its something you can really avoid tbh.

      Why do you want to avoid Javascript so badly in this case? If its a matter of trust, a VPS provider can do far more damage by just using your payment information or messing with your server directly.

        Web remote console or live metrics are understandable. But requiring scripts to register or show a header is something I try to avoid. And not because of security or privacy but out of principle of simplicity and healthy web ecosystem.
