If you’d like a PieFed instance of your own but don’t want to deal with setting up a server, installing PieFed, and maintaining it yourself, get in touch with the team at fedihost.co! They’re currently offering reduced-price PieFed hosting to a limited number of instances as part of a beta program.
They’re looking for a mix of new and established PieFed instances so they can better understand real-world resource usage and what people need. Final pricing is to be determined based on how things go but if you look at what they charge for Mastodon, etc you can see it's very reasonable - https://fedihost.co/pricing
See https://fedihost.co/beta-program for the fine print.
Send them an email at contact@fedihost.co to get things started!

Kinda odd that they don't mention if the prices are in Canadian dollars or not.
Also no mention on where their servers are located, but presumably Canada.

@poVoq @rimu prices in USD, servers in Montreal https://fedihost.co/about

Presumably in the OVH datacenter there? Or do you run your own servers?

@sga we discussed it on our podcast a while ago.

It’s an interesting quirk of the way that it interacted with metered S3 storage being expensive.

we made some recent changes to our S3 storage driver in v0.20.2, please do let us know how you get on with it and if there's anything more we can do to help!
