What are some good open source, user friendly, and European web hosting services? I'm looking to host a small portfolio website.
@erin what amount of work are you inclined to do yourself? What's your budget? I hear a lot, mostly good, about Hetzner. https://www.hetzner.com/
@gnarlybob @erin yes, Hetzner. Also using for static HTML hosting.
@gnarlybob I'm a little bit tech savvy, so I can follow basic instructions from documentation. But generally the less technical stuff I have to do the better.
@erin If you're willing and able to learn *a little bit* about DNS, certificates, and backups, I would very much recommend Yunohost in combination with a 5-10 EUR/month instance at Hetzner, OVH, or Scaleway.
Yunohost is an opensource application hosting panel on steroids, specifically built to manage all the other server bits (updates, firewall, backups, ...)
@erin I have some things running at Vimexx. Dutch folks. Always had good support and sharp prices
@erin ive heard nearlyfreespeech is good :)
@erin I would recommend netcup. Price for servers are nice, they run KVM and they offer ARM/x86_64.
In addition there's no traffic limit (just a reduction if you exceed 3 TB in 24 hours) and ram and vcores are dedicated for your vm, not shared (for the root server tier). So they don't oversell the hardware and you get guaranteed performance.
I'm using them for 9 years now and never had any issues.
@erin however for the domain I recommend OVH, as they offer DNSSec.
@erin hetzner are german and a very popular webhosting compnay
