You don't need to be rich or technically skilled to start your own server on Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse.
"Managed hosting" means a company hosts your server and also does everything technical for you behind the scenes. You pay them a small monthly fee which covers everything.
I've done a guide to setting up a Mastodon server through managed hosting for non-technical people:
Hey all y'all, just thought I'd toss a note out about the accounts I have here. Yes, 'I'
This account is the admin account, any questions, comments or issues you have should be directed here.
@recall@taursnd.haus where I share any news articles on recalls I hear about no matter how small, and we also boost recalls when we find them on the Fediverse.
@taurnation@taursnd.haus is where I share all the taurs, lamias and naga art I find online, link sharing only unless it's a commission of mine. Currently it's a #friendica community, but I'm thinking of changing it to a standard account in hopes that it
@vextaur@taursnd.haus is my personal account, where you'll find everything from unboxing to music, random thoughts to memes and much much more
What's with the domain name? Me and my husband ( @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe ) both have taur OC's, a cattaur for him, and a centaur for me, so a taur themed domain seemed fitting.
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live β forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence β knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains. #quote by Friedrich #Engels, The Condition of the Working-Class in England (1845) #SocialMurder
Is this a legitimate company? Yep, I've ordered from them, it's actually run by the founder of Woot. Short version, he sold Woot to Amazon, and then after a while, got bored and decided to create a new version of the original Woot one deal a day site, and Meh is it. Y'all got a few more hours left if'n you want one.
Tumblr. Pure effervescent enrichment. Old internet energy. Home of the Reblogs. All the art you never knew you needed. All the fandoms you could wish for. Enough memes to knock out a moderately-sized mammal.
