Best Providers for hosting a Lemmy Instance? (lemmy.world)

Over the next week or so I'm sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I've certainly been looking at it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider / resource allocation?

From what I have read, it sounds like you're going to want a host that focuses on storage / bandwidth (at least if you are allowing image upload), but maybe those of you already operating an instance have a different opinion?

Proxmox at home xD

Home servers are the best, but I have very slow upload and there are security risks with this if you don't isolate the server properly.

Are you able to host without a domain name? Looking to spin up one to see what the install process feels like before I spin up a production instance

Well in theory yes but no federation.

I haven’t tried, but I imagine federating will be a hassle without a clear way for the other services to exchange responses.
