URGENT MASTODON HOSTING HELP NEEDED:

[alexisbushnell@toot.wales]

@britt I hear @beasts are pretty damn good

[admin@games.ngo]

@britt

We plan to move our very small instance this month or next (currently VPN self-managed w/ Digital Ocean) to a managed hosting provider in the EU.

The only two providers we've found that meet our criteria so far are masto(.)host and toot(.)io.

We have no experience with either; this is based solely on recommendations we've gotten here and online searches.

We have "tested the waters" with a different EU-based host. Based on our experience we think we need more robust tech support than they provide.

Hope this might be helpful and best of luck.

Feel free to DM.

[edited: self-hosted to self-managed]

@britt I have only good words for and had good experiences with Clouding.io; they are located in Barcelona and go the extra mile to ensure their servers use only green energy.

@sven222 I've seen the post, but unfortunately I don't have the capacity to take another project :S

@britt for your size and staying in Canada, I'd recommend looking into a low-end dedicated or vps from OVHcloud hosted in Beauharnois Qc

[melkyway@fouroclockfarms.club]

@britt may I DM you? This post sounds awfully familiar to problems I've been experiencing with my host. i will completely respect your decision to not name them publicly, I'm just looking for confirmation on something I've been feeling for a while.

@simonzerafa @britt @hetzner second that, they're they cheapest too

@britt @ProcoliX @koen @hans @wsslmn @blog
ProcoliX is a very good EU Hosting option. especially for Fediverse hosting👍🏾

[zikko@toot.cat]

@britt For EU Hoster I recommend Hetzner. Professionel and good support. But not cheap.

[inonkp@mastodon.social]

@britt
would you consider aws?

[britt@mstdn.games]

@MelkyWay Sure, please do! Thank you for asking, my DMs exploded and i'm trying to keep up.

@britt hi there. I run a hosting company and though we’re US-based we’re happy to host clients in Canada on Canadian infrastructure (we use AWS infrastructure). Let me know if I can help.
