So hypothetically: if I wanted to start my own Mastodon server, are there hosting services that would make it super easy? #hosting

@AdamFonseca I got started with a one-click at DigitalOcean https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon, but realized I wanted a bit more resources on the VM so learned how to do the Docker deployment and did that on a VPS at Contabo. If you have the domain already and are familiar with web concepts, web servers, it is pretty easy if you've managed other web services before.

@jduckles What if I have no idea what I’m doing, but have run a website (Squarespace) for years?

@AdamFonseca I think @mastohost and Digital Ocean.

@AdamFonseca what @ryan said. I think mastohost is probably easier; I'm on digital ocean and it's more hands-on.

@borghal @ryan Thanks! I’m just thinking about things at the moment. Toying with the idea.
