I know this isn't exactly self-hosted, but does anyone have experience with this? (www.knthost.com)

Not exactly a self-hosting thing, but I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this service. Is it worth it? A scam? I don't know. I don't really have the hardware to truly self-host a Lemmy instance (mostly because of storage restrictions), but I'd like to know if this service that seems cheap for what it offers if legit.

I know that this isn't a pure self hosting question, but I nailed .com domain for $1/year and was wondering if it's actually worth doing this. Any insight is appreciated.

Editing to add that I'd love to do pure self-hosting here, but storage is a real issue.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. TL;DR: We're real people, a real business, providing a real Lemmy service.

Lemmy is provided as a fully managed hosting service on our scale-out App Cloud. This includes automatic updates, backups, and customized security. Note, this is not a VPS. It's a custom built infrastructure designed specifically for applications. While you have direct SSH access, Lemmy is provided as SaaS. Essentially, you don't need to lift a finger. Just use Lemmy and we'll work in the background to keep it running.

Technicians are trained in Lemmy, and provide direct support for the application. That includes support for related software such as Voyager, or Mlmym.

The business is registered as Operation Enterprise, a Florida LLC. Document number: L09000070587

You can find additional information including our FAQs and policies at https://www.knthost.com/policies

To get started, simply order service at https://www.knthost.com/lemmy and point your domain(s).

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
