@britt I don't know if you're looking for a managed host or a VPS/VM provider, but if you're looking for managed hosting I've heard good things about https://fedihost.co/ - based in Montreal!

[smattymatty@socialontario.ca]

@britt

https://fedihost.co/ from @paige has been my go-to - I've not had any technical issues but my instance is tiny

They have a custom option, might be worth reaching out :)

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@britt I seem to remember @shlee offering to help with situations like this

[markus@dresden.network]

@z428eu @britt you want managed Mastodon or help to migrate away?

[jonah@mastodon.neat.computer]

@britt what kind of hosting and technical assistance do you need?

(I mean, do you need a generic web server provider where you admin Mastodon yourself, or do you need a Mastodon-specific service provider similar to masto.host that is responsible for installing updates and other admin things on your behalf?)

@britt @ErikUden @tenkoman I think @stux might be able to help

@webhat @britt @ErikUden @tenkoman

@britt have you checked out Conesphere? They might be able to help

[shadowdancer@mstdn.social]

@britt
May I ask you why? So you've been having technical issues for a month, the customer service isn't reaponding and they keep on happily billing you.

Hate to break this to you, but it sounds like you're being screwed over. By naming the hosting provider you would lessen the chances of someone else ending up in your situation.

@britt In case it may help, i'm running my own instance through @cloudron hosted at Hostinger but a VPS or dedicated server with Ubuntu can host it.

@britt@mstdn.games

Where are you hosting now?

[sven222@goto.hardwarepunk.de]

@britt @thomas maybe you have some expertise here?

[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.

Perfict for a linux desktop computer in the courner of your house.

@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
