I know this isn't exactly self-hosted, but does anyone have experience with this? (www.knthost.com)

Not exactly a self-hosting thing, but I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this service. Is it worth it? A scam? I don't know. I don't really have the hardware to truly self-host a Lemmy instance (mostly because of storage restrictions), but I'd like to know if this service that seems cheap for what it offers if legit.

I know that this isn't a pure self hosting question, but I nailed .com domain for $1/year and was wondering if it's actually worth doing this. Any insight is appreciated.

Editing to add that I'd love to do pure self-hosting here, but storage is a real issue.

you could probably find cheaper with more to do more

I see you mentioned the free Oracle cloud servers, they are not simple to use like many cloud VPS. But if you wanted to go down that route then if you get a full account with a CC on file then you can normally get the ampere instance (still free)

Ok, but I've only a remote idea of what you're saying. Can you elaborate?

It sure was a handful to configure the 15GB S3 onject storage to use in Veeam. Took me about 30-45min trying to find a guide on how to set it up with Veeam.
