My website/blog is in the cloud but anything that needs local storage or internet access (everything else) is virtualized in a container on proxmox.
Comment on Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?
ProtecyaTec@lemmy.world 1 year agoDo you think that the majority host from a 3rd party services or hosts from a home server?

It’s easier and quicker to start with a VPS and most people do that. On the low end it is usually also cheaper (unless you already have or can get second hand hardware almost for free).
However, if you are starting to get higher storage and compute needs, currently especially also GPU compute, hosting from home can be very interesting as it is much cheaper in the longer term and the hardware side is interesting to learn as well.

I started at home and then moved into a vps for my lemmy instance. I decided I don’t want all that public traffic hitting my home ip.

Which VPS do you recommend?

I’m using Racknerd. They came highly recommended and I’ve been happy so far.
