I have considered this! And I used to back in the day! I haven’t completely ruled it out, and I probably could cobble together a Frankenstein box, though I’m not sure the performance would be enough (the only extra MOBO/CPU I have is an ancient Core2Duo). Also, I wonder if the electricity cost would be more than $10/month. I should do some math…

I hadn’t come across this one when I was searching around, thank you! They look cool!

Probably nitpicks, but I found a lot of the ones I came across charged an extra $50/year for a LetsEncrypt SSL cert which rubs me wrong since LetsEncrypt is free. A few others I found claimed to be Canadian and even had their offices in Canada but were ultimately American owned, which is a dealbreaker for me.

I do have a shortlist of a few, but I want to be thorough since whoever I pick I’ll probably be with indefinitely.

This might be my choice. I’m going to do more reading.

The sites I run don’t get too much traffic, but performance is still important. When I looked into hostpapa I saw a lot of bad reviews online. You can’t believe everything you read, though it’s enough to keep me cautious.

I hadn’t found that one yet! Thank you!

Sounds like I need to migrate away from wordpress. Which I kind of already knew.

At this point I’ve decided to migrate away from WordPress. I should have a while ago.

CanSpace.ca looks really cool, thanks for suggesting it!

In 2010 I was part of the Great Digg Exodus, and now in 2025 I’m part of the Reddit->Lemmy migration. Truly I’m part of the crowd.

More like I have no personality and just go with the flow 😜
