Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.
Oh, don’t get me wrong - I’m under to illusion of having 100% uptime, I’m simply aiming for it :D The idea of cloud is so that hardware redundancy problems are handled by them - that’s the selling point. Otherwise I can achieve random outages quite well on my own hosting stuff at home :D
I do understand what you mean, though - you get what you pay for.
