Hi, I've been trying to host and publish my own chan/imageboard since I'm currently short on money. I'm trying to find a free way to do this and I found Vercel. Is it a good option for an imageboard?
>>107893281you can't be *this* broke, right? I mean, oracle has free tiers but it's a fucking pain to register, I gave up and paid for another company
>>107893337Thanks, Anon. Is Vercel really that bad?
>>107893404That bad? I don't know.I just wanted a linux PC with my ssh keys in it, exposed to the web, as cheap as possible. No ifs and buts.It's been a good while since I last researched but Vercel had plenty of gotchas iirc.Hetzner, as plain as it gets. Pay money, get a vps. I have full control over my machine, what runs in it, port allocation etc.I got a wildcard cert and wildcard dns which lets me handle subdomains on the VPS with nginx without broadcasting what I exactly have to the world to see (see cert. transparency logs).Only "issue" I had was that I was also self-hosting my dns with, UDP, DoH, DoT and DoQ. Turns out bots ended up discovering port 53 plain UDP DNS and used my vps for a reflection attack which then, prompted the german government to mail hetzner, causing them to forward their mail, essentially saying "deal with it". Fair enough, ended up learning wtf a reflection attack is and just firewalled port 53 since I wasn't using plain dns anyway.
oh, also I forgot adding this but since you're going for an image board, you may want to look for bullet-proof hosts.It won't be cheap but it's either that or you gotta have a tight moderation for acceptable use policies for whatever host you're using
>>107893281No one is gonna post on your imageboard unc. This is not 2007
