Hosting

This website is hosted by a VPS that I self-fund. The actual hosting provider might change as I seek out the best deals on LowEndBox. For now, here’s some information about the host:

  • Virtual Private Server
  • KVM Virtualization Solution
  • Ubuntu 22 LTS
  • 2 vCPUs (Intel Xeon based, shared)
  • 2.5 GB RAM
  • ~50GB of fast SSD storage

The web server is Caddy. It is:

  • Memory safe (written in Go), and therefore safe from a large class of vulns
  • Running with minimal priviledges
  • Running inside a container
  • Simple and easy to use
  • Serving multiple sites/services
  • Expandable to perform many different tasks

Nothing of value is stored on this web server. It contains no useful secrets. Passwords and tokens are unique and singular in purpose. The server doesn’t interface or connect with any other valuable servers or services. Its resources are humble. Please behave.

    Hi would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re utilizing?

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and
    I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
    Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a reasonable price?
    Thank you, I appreciate it!

      Hello! It’s hard for me to recommend a specific hosting provider because my main constraint is cost. This server has very little load, which it achieves through using a very simple and low-resource Caddy (the web server) configuration. However, most of the performance might be attributed to the wide use of pre-cached pages that are served to nearly all visitors, further reducing the load. Namely, I use WP Super Cache to generate the pages before your browser even requests the contents, so the server only has the very simple task of serving small files. I’m using the cheapest possible shared hosts I can get.

      Thank you for the comment. I believe you’re the first human to ever comment here! How exciting.
