Looking to host a personal website. A couple static pages and an instance of FoundryVTT. Maybe a wiki. Single digit users for the foreseeable future.

I’d much rather have downtime and be throttled if I go over my allotments than autoscale and pay more than I expect tbh. I’m pretty scared of that because money’s tight. Maybe I just need a flat rate VPS. I can handle like $10/mo but a surprise $70 bill could be a real pain.

IIRC you can setup the always free tier without a credit card, but if it requires one, setup a privacy.com temporary card and delete it after you create the account
