Options for cloud hosted Lemmy server?

3 years ago by murrman to c/selfhosted

I feel like this is at least tangentially connected to self hosting, so I'm asking here. I'm interested in finding a cloud provider to host my own Lemmy server (similar to what Masto.host does with Mastodon). I've been looking around for all the different options available, and I haven't found many. Communick.com and elest.io are the ones I've found. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these, or if anyone has any other recommendations to consider.

I have tried elest.io. You get a 7 day (up to $20) trial after adding a credit card.

Setup is easy and you get a running instance in minutes. Setting up custom domain isn't as straight forward for a managed service though.

The cheapest server costs about $10 per month.

Recommended if you're looking for a managed solution and don't wanna bother with setting it up yourself.
