I am using Upcloud for private discourse forum. It’s a bit on expensive side. Would like to move either to alphaVPS or OVH and host an Lemmy instance. Asking kindly if anyone has anything to say about either alphaVPS or OVH?

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

    Thanks, I read few good reviews about alphaVPS, not that many servers have DDoS protection. Could you recommend from experience something cheap and reliable?

      Do you need DDoS protection? If not don’t get it, most providers are quite shady and most attacks (anecdotal) aren’t super high volume or especially advanced. If your income doesn’t depend on availability you can even just ignore attacks until they find something else to do. I only have experience with european and especially german hosters, idk if that helps depending on where you are from, you might want to find something more local.

      If you need DDoS protection and you aren’t doing much egress bandwidth then all the major cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) are good and might save you money.
