if i were to move macwright.com to a vps / caddy setup: what are people using for servers? i'd love to avoid google/aws. most of my readers in the us so i probably need at least one server there.

@tmcw I've been using Digital Ocean for a long time, and it's reliably boring. My single $5/mo server has been powering all services at billmill.org for about 11 years now.

It used to run nginx, now it runs caddy; I switched probably 5 years ago

@tmcw my caddyfile: https://github.com/llimllib/Newsite/blob/master/ops/Caddyfile

includes the configuration to proxy a digital ocean spaces bucket (their s3-compatible storage) to notes.billmill.org
