I’m still here for a reason lol. Even self hosting WP can get costly in comparison to MB depending on what you’re doing. I think on Oracle Cloud I was spending something like $7/mo.

I was a Wordpress peep for a very, VERY long time. Now they’re just gross. Up to their necks in corrosive capitalism. Simply charging a reasonable rate for a reasonable service, like MB, just seems to be a bridge too far for some people, regardless of the honorable intentions they had when they started. Make mine Micro.blog!

@jmanes Thanks! $7 is not bad. I’m remembering now that DreamHost is another one with fairly straightforward pricing.

I’ve been using Dreamhost for about 17 years or maybe more. Very happy with them.

Dreamhost also has generous programs for non-profits. We have hosted squarepegfoundation.org there for many years. I’ve found them to be good people.

I’ve been really happy with micro.blog as my hosting! I found it through Ulysses, and the ease of writing in Ulysses and publishing to micro.blog is fantastic. Just upgraded to $10 to host a second site on it, after evaluating a bunch of other options and missing the micro.blog simplicity

@jpcamara Thank you! Glad you like posting from Ulysses.

I am hosting my WordPress websites on Kualo (http://my.kualo.com/usa/go/50495), as their infrastructure is fully built to run on renewable energy. It doesn’t hurt that they have stellar costumer support.

I have recently deployed an app (https://openingquot.es) to render.com, on their free tier, and it’s working well for me. It’s a small personal project.
