There was a guy here offering that type of service let me look him up and I will share it when I get home.

Yeah those are good points , I should have mentioned it is not everyone doing self hosting. I do it because I want to learn.

If I knew how to do it , I will create a script or a one click install , manage and backup a lemmy , mastodon , etc instance. So everyone even non techie will have the availability to self host their own instance :) I dont know but that just me maybe its not worth it but who knows.

I am not into subscriptions but you seem like a nice guy with good intentions for the fediverse I wish you the best man.

Which platform of payment are going to use? Paypal , Stripe?

Yeah that is how it usually works. Well thank you for the info its been really helpful

Oh yeah I just read about cloudfare strict but I think thats only if you proxied the request through cloudfare servers , if you just point the domain to the server I dont think you need to do that.

What is a $3 domain? I really wanted to buy one like that cheap. Why change cloudfare to strict?

Its not always on the latest but its being really stable for me. I think they tested really throughly so thats why the updates are delayed but it just works.

Good advice or also just host your own instance will be a great way and its very simple to do that I feel anyone with some technical knowledge can do it by using Yunohost.

1. Buy a domain using namecheap or cloudfare.
2. Rent a VPS on Linode, Vultr , Digital Ocean or Hetzner
3. Install Yunohost from the official website and be sure to install Debian 11 and not Ubuntu thats the one recommended by Yunohost developers.
4. Once Yunohost is installed , set it up , add your domain , add a DNS record to point to the the server public IP.
5. Now just installed Lemmy app from the Yunohost app store and thats it now you have your own lemmy instance.

The tusky app can be used as a pixelfed app.
