Hey dear community, we just launched today our fully managed hosting of Lemmy
We offer to do Deployment / Security / DNS / SMTP / Monitoring / Alerts / Backups / Automated updates / Handle migrations / Fully automated but with Human support :)
We deploy each instance on a dedicated VM, and we provide full root access as well if you want to customize anything.
Pricing start at $10/month (billed hourly, no contract)

I would love to get some feedback from the community
What kind of payment options do you provide? All the managed Lemmy instances I’ve found so far seem to be credit card (or crypto) only, which would be a hassle for me. In The Netherlands, iDEAL is used for most online transactions, and can be easily set up through through Stripe for example.
Either way, this is a great development, kudos to you! :)
We do use Stripe! I’ve just checked iDEAL require the transaction to be in EUR (make sense), and currently we bill only in USD, I’ll check with our team if we can add option to add balance credits in EUR :)
Nice! :D
As a side note: do your instances work when you put Cloudflare in proxy mode in front of it? At my current provider that breaks, but I’m not sure if that’s due to their implementation, or inherit to the software.
Yes we do have specific instructions to make it work with Cloudflare reverse proxy (orange cloud) https://docs.elest.io/books/security/page/custom-domain-and-automated-encryption-ssltls
Looking great! Bookmarking this for when I want to go live with my project.
