What are some good options for Peertube hosting?
I need to host about 30 Gb of video, light traffic, but may need to upgrade in a year if things go well.
Self hosting isn't really an option. I don't want to deal with the security issues of keeping the hosted stuff separate from my home network.
I'd rather avoid AWS/Google, etc and give my money to a smaller company instead even if its a couple of bucks extra.
I'm also looking for a .family domain if anyone knows some good registrars.
It's been about 20 years since I've hosted a website, and the only thing I can remember is don't use GoDaddy.
Hetzner or OVH offer relatively cheap dedicated servers or VPS servers.
Namecheap is a good registrar.
Just an update, so far Hostinger is working out ok. I gotta say choosing not to self-host was probably the best decision I'll make all year. There's a lot of security stuff I had no idea about.
Peertube was a huge pain - I never got it working on my own. Eventually, I got it and MediaWiki installed through Cloudron. Now it's just a matter of making a decent looking website, which is another of my weak points😐. Thanks for the help!
Glad to hear you made some progress. Wordpress is fairly easy to install and has nice themes. Hardest part is setting up a MySQL (or other *sql) server, but most self-hosted websites would need that anyway.
If you filter the alternatives https://alternativeto.net/software/wordpress/ by “hosted” and “open source” you can get a nice list of alternatives, too.
Thanks. As I'm learning more about this, it looks like VPS is what I need. I think I'm going to give Hostinger a shot.
Another update. I went with Wordpress and it's working like a charm so far.
Another question - is Wordpress suitable for hosting thousands (upon thousands) of images, or should I set up something like Pixelfed to handle that? I'm basically trying to digitize as many photo albums, VHS tapes and obituaries as possible before this stuff is lost to time.
