Also if my site (https://andrewjvpowell.com/) is ever down, it’s no problem. It’s hosted on nearlyfreespeech.net, which is pay as you go basically, so if it’s down it’s just cos I need to add some credits :P
@adi@twtxt.net Yeah it has email and even SMS warning notices when the credit gets under a certain amount, and I think you can even customize the amounts that “trips” the warnings. It’s not a bad system. Just sometimes, admittedly, I’ve been slack to fund the account, even if it’s just a day here and there.
To answer @mckinley@twtxt.net ’s question though, I easily go through at least $5 per month, but then again technically I have at least 3 sites on the one account. If they were sites that had to absolutely be online all the time I’d worry about it more.
And with my personal site mentioned at the beginning of this thread, one day I’ve been tempted to put it on a self-hosted solar powered mini-server, akin to (https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/). In which case there could be little bits of downtime anyway.
