What are KIA approved webhosters?
posted 4 years ago by Throwawayw00tw00t 4 years ago by Throwawayw00tw00t +36 / -0

If I ever get the urge to host a website I don't want to support bad people.

Who out there is a good guy? I see Epik is but their low tier is 10 bucks a month and doesn't list bandwidth.

actual answer? if you're in the cloud and doing anything controversial you're probably going to yet yeeted. there are some boutique hosters like joshua moon's "1776 hosting" (joshua is a bad person, but not for political reasons) designed specifically to host controversial shit but they tend to be more expensive and limited.

if you're at all worried, buy a cheap used server from buisness surplus and host on your own metal. unless you get a shitload of traffic its unlikely your home connection will get saturated. remember to proxy to hide your ip tho.

Hell a raspberry pi (or maybe a couple with a load balancer in front) would be sufficient for most websites. Especially if the content doesn't change that often so the rendered pages can be cached.

Yeah, but doesn't that require punching a hole into your network config?

And then I guess I could use Dyn DNS, but when the IP changes would emails bounce back if I ran an SMTP on there?

Yes, with the risks associated with doing so.

You might have issues in general running an SMTP server on a residential connection, as a lot of them block port 25. If running your own mailserver is a requirement for what you want to do you may not be able to do that at home.

Yeah, I guess if I set up the router to give the pi a static IP and then just port forwarded https and email ports to that IP I would be fine though right?

I'm not planning on hosting anything spicy and resulting in dos but more hackers mucketing about on home network.

I do want to use email with the domain, that is part of the reason I was thinking to avoid home hosting, because I don't want bounce back if network craps out.
