Otto Rask<p>I've got my personal stuff hosted over at DigitalOcean at the moment. They're a relatively big player and situated in the USA. I like their offering and quality, but I'm on the lookout for something that might be safer for projects that host antifascist, anti-surveillance, and pro-consumer content and services, which might get flagged as hostile by the funders of all the big players in the hosting/IaaS space.</p><p>Any suggestions?</p><p><a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hosting</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/WebDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WebDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/DigitalOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalOcean</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/WebHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WebHosting</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Server</span></a></p>

Kit Author<p>Trying to move my Amazon s3 storage over to Digital Ocean spaces and they really don't make this stuff easy for the DIYer. I migrated the data using Flexify.io but now the s3 compatible information that I'm putting in isn't connecting. Switched it back to Amazon s3, but darn it, I'm trying to get away from that platform because I figured out it was the bandwidth costing me so much.</p><p>Anyone available to help? <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediHelp</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Castopod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Castopod</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DigitalOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalOcean</span></a></p>
