Best Providers for hosting a Lemmy Instance? (lemmy.world)

Over the next week or so I'm sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I've certainly been looking at it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider / resource allocation?

From what I have read, it sounds like you're going to want a host that focuses on storage / bandwidth (at least if you are allowing image upload), but maybe those of you already operating an instance have a different opinion?

I run lemmy.world on a VPS at Hetzner. They are cheap and good. Storage: I now (after 11 days) have 2GB of images and 2GB of database.

Could you give us some insight into how much bandwidth up/down your instance is using? Thanks for posting your server specs. I'm tempted to self host an instance when I finally get a gigabit connection in the next few months.

Just installed Zabbix agent, so data just coming in. Bandwidth usage for Lemmy.world server
