Cheap servers? (lemmy.world)

Hi! I selfhost a lot of stuff, but I'd like to have some services outside my LAN. Like uptimekuma or maybe a unifiedpush server. What cheap hosters can you recommend? I already have a spare domain name, and one criteria is European location.

Thanks!

Free.

Use Cloudflare to point directly to your server. As a layer of security on top, ensure only certain emails or certain domains are able to get through to them.

I've done this about 1 year ago for my family and works flawlessly. Exposed Nextcloud, uptimekuma, immich, emby, etc. About 8 services.

    Cloudflare Tunnel is the best. No need to open any ports, and it works on any internet connection.

    And it automatically does HA. Reuse the key on another server and if one goes down it automatically switches to the next one

    (Of course the application needs to support this, if you do this with a normal database it will break immediately)
