@cliffwade @beardedtechguy I have heard good things about Hetzner.

@toxy Hetzner is a very popular name that a lot of people mention when it comes to this stuff.

@cliffwade I love AWS mainly because I use it in my day to day work also. But it is the more expensive option.

I think "fully hosted" means a managed service and not just IaaS.

@panda @cliffwade either way, sharing what I use.

@panda As in, we want full control over the Mastodon install itself so that we can make any and all changes that we want to make, such as post character limits, poll option amounts and similar things.

@cliffwade @mikey okay I was wrong haha

I'm using a dedicated server at OVH. They're pretty cheap and bandwidth is free.

@panda Do you mind if I ask how much you pay per month and what the specs are that you have?

@cliffwade @panda the team over at hachyderm.io made a great blog on their pit falls of self / managed hosting. It was a great read. If I can find it before you do, I'll link it.
