 @40bf96e5 Hetzner is cheaper, and you may need the extra RAM.

 @40bf96e5 On Hetzner I have an instance with 4 GB of RAM. It's enough to self-host Matomo, Mastodon, the Isso commenting widget, a couple of static websites, and a personal project.

Costs 5.35 EUR / month (without VAT), and it would be 22.5 EUR on DigitalOcean.

I think personal projects / servers need to be cheap for sustainability.

 @54814b2f That's impressive! Hey, I also like that you can image the servers with Fedora!
