Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Just answer them with a little explanation like you did here, you will be fine. Done that, been there.
They just want to protect against people buying lots of servers for a short time, then not paying or doing ddos shit.
Thank you. I hadn't considered the payment part. The cloud system that I manage is in education, so everyone pays in advance.
This makes sense, and I'll start with a lower number and ask it to go up later. It will take a couple of months to migrate everything from Linode anyhow, so I don't need them all at once.
Hetzner has been used for ddos attacks and spam runs, so they're cautious. You pay afterwards, I get the bill the 3rd of the month.
Also, be advised, sending email out is blocked by default and can be unblocked 30d after creating the 1st vps when the 1st invoice is paid. BTW blocking is pretty simply a block on port 25 and 465, so rerouting to anothe rport to a relay works when you need it the 1st 30 days. (for say monitoring)
