Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I am selfhosting a lot of stuff, but some things are on good old DreamHost instead, for reasons of reliability and such. I'm sure many of you are in a similar position.

I've been extremely happy with DreamHost since ~28 years but various reasons prompt me to look for EU options. I am not looking for just plain stupid webhosting (not VPS) but the options I see are so limited: limited subdomains, limited mailboxes, limited databases, limited everything. DH has always offered "unlimited everything" for a few dollars per month, that's an insanely good offering.

Still, if you could recommend a good EU webhosting provider, what would you say?

Do you want all of that to be managed (DB, mailboxes, web-hosting,...) or just reliable hardware in "the cloud"?

For the latter, Hetzner.

Hetzner provides managed web hosting too. For emails I think you need to look for some other provider.

Huh, didn't know. Thanks. I guess Hetzner is the right answer in both cases then 😄
