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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why should I stop using vps for my needs? I looked at the dedicated servers but they're all too expensive for me.
And yea I would like it to be all SSD, to me it makes a big difference for browsing large file collections, pictures and videos.
Dedi will perform a lot better and be more consistent and reliable. They're not THAT expensive if you're making nontrivial use of them. Otherwise maybe you can keep moving around between Contabo products. Keep in mind too that hdd performance will seem a lot better when you're not sharing it with dozens of other users. I have an HDD server and it's fine for browsing. Might not be great for large seek-intensive databases but I'm not currently doing that
Anyway you can also ask on lowendspirit.com which is a forum about budget vps.
Thanks for the explanation :)
Added: also look at kimsufi.com as an alternative to Hetzner.
