Kinda similar to my self-hosted server; 24 core, 32GB - peak number of concurrent users ever hosted is 3.
I have a GSA flashed with non-google firmware that has eight cores and 156GB RAM… it’s not set up yet, but I’ve got all my drives I need. It’s going to be a like 7TB local UNRAID server someday.
You also get a free static website through SDF without sending anyone info. Just sayin’.
They also host a lemmy instance @ https://lemmy.sdf.org/
Yep.
SDF in Japan ⇒ Japan SDF ⇒ JSDF ⇒ Japan Self-Defence Forces 🤪
That’s not bad at all gonna have to check it out. I host my site on digital ocean it’s on the smallest single core 1gb ram droplet. I run crowdsec and nginx and a couple other little things and it sits around 40% ram usage. Costs 6$ a month and I added 4 weeks worth of automatic weekly backups for $1.50 a month.
I can deal with $7.50 for a little static web server.
They do offer a free $200/60 day credit if you get in with one of the free Linux Foundation cloud classes which is plenty to play with.
FWIW, if all you have is a truly static website (html, css, and js), then GitHub Pages is free and you can point a custom domain there from your registrar, and don’t have to worry about backups or server uptime.
Unless GH has another database oopsie.
I wasn’t aware of the Github pages being free that’s neat. It is fully static (running on nginx but generated with hugo) and I use freedns.afraid.org for the domains. Good to know thanks for the tip :)

Hope these guides are useful for you.
Hey thanks I’m sure they will be!
And if you want a private repo, you can also use gitlab and point to custom domain with gitlab pages or cloudflare pages.
I do the smallest Amazon Lightsail instance for a static site of about $1.50/month. Site is statically generated from templates in a private git repo I host and backup at home, so I don’t worry about the site itself needing a backup.
I was going to host a Bitwarden instance, as well, but with its RAM requirements, it was cheaper to pay a Bitwarden subscription. So it ended up being just a static site, plus Route 53.
One thing is that it’s pretty clear Amazon doesn’t like Lightsail. They do it because it competes with some other small fixed price hosting options from other companies. To let me use it, I had to email AWS customer support and answer a bunch of questions about what I wanted to do with it and if I had considered EC2, instead.
My site is also statically generated from templates I keep in a private git repo hosted on github I keep local backups of, but I do the generating directly on the server. I just pull the site and generate it manually whenever I do an update. I like the sound of your setup better thanks for the pointers!
Should check out Racknerd. I’ve got a 4 core, 4 gb ram, 50 gb disk VPS for $50/yr.
Could you link the page which shows your exact config at that price? I can’t find anything like that. KVM, AMD, Windows VPS - I looked at all three but none suggest the price you’ve written.
That price sounds like a steal, and I’d love to get it if possible. I currently pay $6/month per VPS with Digital Ocean
These deals are still active https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/
Also tagging @h0bbl3s@lemmy.world since I should have linked this last night.
Awesome thanks!
Thanks for the tip I’ll definitely take a look! That’s not bad at all and I prefer yearly payments.
You can also host it serverless. I set mine up on S3. You pay for egress
- „Serverless“
- looks inside
- Server
Lol well yes it may be a bit of a misnomer. At the very least it is less server than OP was using for their static site
It’s serverless, not servernone
it says no servers; they’re allowed to have one.
Serverless = you don’t see, and have no control over, any server.
You are serverless. You are forsaken…
all hail sylvanas
“Serverless” is using someone else’s computer.
So is a “cloud server”.
There isn’t even a fucking “cloud”! Why do they lie to us so brazenly?
You could also host a website like that on Cloudflare pages for free. That way you even get ddos protection and some other stuff.
For a static site Cloudflare Pages is good for free hosting, doing a git commit and watching the site change in a matter of seconds is very satisfying.

Hey if you could edit the spammer’s URL out of your quote/translation that’d be great.
