I have one of those free Oracle cloud instances with 24 gigs of RAM; I've considered hosting there, but for now I just use Sourcehut. There definitely is value in "it's hosted somewhere that's not my house" though.

24 GB does sound pretty sweet. I’ll check if they still offer that, thanks. The price of having to accept an Oracle EULA might just be higher than anything else mentioned thus far, though.

  Remember that your free server can be deleted without notice if Oracle needs the capacity. Always have a current backup.

    Or silently downgraded, as it appears that Oracle now only offers 2 Arm OCPUs and 12 GB RAM.
