    Looks like you’re hosting a mostly static frontend there. Could be hosting that for free in a number of places, and then you’d have no problem.

      They start off by saying their PieFed instance was down.

    May i suggest to not color your font? This is pretty bad. Leave it up to the browser, please.

      Yeah, hmm but if it’s not very accessible then I should rethink the font. I’ll think about it and do some tests tomorrow. I myself use the dark theme mostly.

    Hosting the site from home may be an option if symmetric fiber is available and the site doesn’t get a huge amount of traffic.

      But when I die then someone will just throw away the computer when they clean out the flat/house ^^.

        How will your server bill be paid if you die?

      A simple low traffic website doesn’t even need anything close to symmetric fiber. Your run-of-the-mill shitty cable internet usually gives you 15-30mbps. Thats more than enough unless your site is really popping off.
