It's surprisingly cheap to use managed hosting nowadays, you can get your own instance of all kinds of online services starting for just a few euros a month. You don't have to do any tech stuff yourself, the price includes maintenance etc.

If it's a small company it's also much easier to get hold of support people there if you do have any problems.

I don't know how many of them rely on Amazon, but at least all of my instances are working fine today and they're on multiple managed hosting companies.

It is easy to find a company which can host a server for you. It is next to impossible to find a company able to do that and also offering managed infrastructure (messaging, database and adequate networking). Why I don't know, I guess no one in Europe has both the idea and the funds for that.

@flokinet @rysiek @bmarinov @FediThing @alterelefant @hugoestr I knew there'd be some sot of security system. Can the elves cope with the apparent increase in magma? https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2025/10/15/global-warming-may-have-volcanic-consequences. Or will you need more elves?
Global warming may have volcanic consequences

Why less ice might mean more fire

@robparsons @rysiek @bmarinov @FediThing @alterelefant @hugoestr lucky us icelandic elves can handle that very well as they have thousands of years training ;)

@flokinet @rysiek @bmarinov @FediThing @alterelefant @hugoestr it's hard to find an interwebs company with a history longer than six months, let alone six millennia. Good for you!
