PRGMR.com 1.25 GiB RAM, 15 GiB Disk for $5 per month.

https://prgmr.com/xen/ inexpensive. no overage charges. can pay by bitcoin. (and a FreeBSD friendly).

I wonder if you would also benefit from installing something like yunohost [2] on top of Debian. This will get you your personal cloud. And the use YounoHost's 'Custom web app' container [4]

This way, you get an automatically configured web server (nginx), with certificates (via Let's encrypt) that get auto updated.

You also get a pre-configured user/sftp access to your app's folders.

And those folders will be backed up when you hit the backup button...

Nginx will invoke your python app when the predefined URL is hit.

All you have to do is to point your domain registrar to the prmgr VPS host running yunohost.

Are you affiliated with the company? I chuckle when I see this hosting shop pop up on HN. They had advertisements on the dividers at the Safeway in Mountain View. Was wondering how they worked that.

To my best knowledge, I and lsc are the only people associated with prgmr.com who post semi-regularly on HN. lsc isn't involved much beyond having a minor stake in the company.

lsc set up the Safeway divider advertisements. It was pretty cheap, like $150 a month. I don't think we would do it again, but it certainly caught a lot of people's attention.

no.

I also know that they donate (or at least donated before now) hosting service to lobste.rs

I found them just by searching through like anybody else would.

I had never seen their ads.

are you affiliated with any of their competitors?

[dclusin]

Nope. Just a Bay Area native who got into the local industry.
