How I host stuff online:
1. A Beelink SER8 running Ubuntu
2. Dokku
3. My home fiber connection
4. Cloudflare tunnels
The Beelink sips power at idle, makes no sound, has been fully reliable.
For static sites, Cloudflare caches everything; I rarely see a hit, unless I've pushed new content (or explicitly purged the cache).
For dynamic sites... I mean, an SER8 is absurdly overpowered compared to any $N/month VPS I'd care to pay for.

@davepeck@mastodon.davepeck.org I took a different approach... $5 maybe it works? mobo at REPC I happened to have CPUs (LGA1366 🙃) for, put TrueNAS scale on it and have been setting up services from there ⚡⚡⚡
