@hangableautobulb Well no its still hosted by you in the same sense.. it rusn on EC2 on your own account.. only difference they give you a script that automates bringing up and tearing down the server.
@freemo Serves me right for not reading the info in the link properly! I retract my comments... I'll look through it more carefully :)
@freemo Looks interesting but fundamentally owned and operated by somebody else. Honestly, I might do that write up because hosting your own isn't as scary as it sounds. I think I typed five install commands and edited a configuration file, that's all. But thanks for the link anyhow.
