People asking me for a cheaper Mastodon hosting plan. The short answer is no. Why? Our focus is on quality not quantity.
Cheap hosting providers using shared infra, meaning shared compute and storage resources. Most of them started recently.
In contrast, we're using dedicated infra for each Mastodon instance. You will get better performance and reliability. We're offering Mastodon hosting since 2018.
May I suggest adding #MastodonServer and #MastodonInstance to your list? There's a lot of talk about prices there too.
