Hi! I selfhost a lot of stuff, but I'd like to have some services outside my LAN. Like uptimekuma or maybe a unifiedpush server. What cheap hosters can you recommend? I already have a spare domain name, and one criteria is European location.

Thanks!

One of my two machines crashed a lot until I moved two Containers to my local server. They are quite small in regards to RAM and at their limit quite fast. Maybe check that.

Also I read somewhere that you could enter credit card details and this kinda upgrades your account in their system though you still do not pay. Something to do with throttling free machines in favor of paid customers.

I thought the ram was fine (the shell is still accessible from their web ui, just non responsive from outside), but I'll double check.

That second possibility sounds like exactly the kind of nonsense I would expect from Oracle.
