Figured the best way to ask this was to ask the void and hope i get a response
How easy is it to get set up on a gopherspace host? like i understand how to write the pages but not the "getting hosted" part. I'm someone who can follow instructions for the terminal but not really familiar with SSH or really Unix. Ideally I'm hoping I can use some kind of GUI but I'm cool with entirely the command line if needed.

Hmm, do you already have a web server? You can just setup Gophernicus (https://github.com/gophernicus/gophernicus) or similar then.
Otherwise, there's not really many places that offer Gopher hosting with a GUI thing. Sourcehut pages has Gemini hosting but not Gopher. The only place I could think of would be any of the Tildes: https://tildeverse.org/ They offer shell access to a Unix server and you can usually just copy files to ~/public_gopher/ and then they'll automatically be hosted for you on a user directory on the tilde's domain (like gopher://tilde.team/~nytpu/)
@CherryPixelBun did you ever get this going? just coming to say, the process with the ssh key is more or less the same as adding an ssh key to github -- which, if you've never done it, there's lots of easy tutorials on, plus the more exhaustive one from github. if you're comfortable following basic command line things, it'll be a snap.
the gist of it is, follow the instructions to create an ssh keypair; copy the public key (the one with the *.pub file extension), and send that in your email or application to the server admin. I would think you're looking at something like SDF or other pubnix or tildeverse servers
