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.

No direct answer, but even as a US resident you should consider going EU.
Most hosting providers dangle convenience ("one click solution") to make clueless customers pay way too fucking much. Or customer service, which I always found to be about the same regardless of price: good enough, miracles not included.
FWIW I pay ~€7/mo for a full (root access, self-installed) VPS with 80GB storage, 4GB RAM, 4 CPUs (edit: this was a few years ago. Now their cheapest offer is €8/mo for 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage).
The same would cost $72/mo (with less storage) on Linode 🤣
Which provider did you use? Also, Hetzner costs the same but with 8GB RAM.
That was a few years ago. Prices and offers change constantly. Netcup.
Netcup's website didn't give IP information for any of their sites, that I could find. Are the IP ranges on many of the black lists?
Their websites or their servers? Frankly I have no idea what you're talking about.
The IP addresses they issue to the server you buy.
Many discount VPS providers do nothing to get their IP addresses off of the the blacklist/blocklists that they end up on from the nefarious things their users do.
Such as: https://iplocation.io/ip-blacklist-checker
Right. Not in my case anyhow, my blog is even a top ten search result for a specific topic.
FWIW every user gets a unique IP address.
It would be the nice thing to do to inform those keeping up these blacklists whenever the owner changes. Maybe they do. Or maybe they'll do it on your behalf if you ask.
