I cannot find another instance that I feel like will accept my content without dividing it in different instances.

I like posting different things like clips from older cartoons (both English and Italian), videogame clips or tutorials, tech tutorials, repost memes... and I wanna stream me playing videogames. I don't wanna see any NSFW.

I used to like an instance called yt.is.nota.live but didn't use it for quite some time. Checking back now, looks like it's no longer being hosted.

With how instances are setup and moderated I indeed feel like I would have to make multiple accounts in different instances.

Should I just look into creating my own instance? I am fine with creating multiple channels to divide the content, just don't want to make multiple accounts to remember both credentials and where they are hosted.

The CX11 single vCPU and 2GB of RAM is enough for all of those? I wanted to be much safer about it and go for either a Contabo S or a Hetzner CX21 now that you proposed the service.

Contabo S gives much more around the same price, so I don't know what's exactly the catch here.

The small one is enough for just PeerTube. I went bigger because it couldn't keep up once I moved lemmy, mastodon and some other stuff.

You said you are still using the CX11. I understood about the extra storage, but I wanted to know how can the single CPU and 2GB handle all the services. Unless they are not as heavy as I think they are.

No I probably expressed myself wrong. Once I started adding the other services the small one started having problems and the load would go up so high that it would choke. But for one of those services it's more than enough.

Oh, understood! If upgrades are not charged immensely (for example like going from a CX11 to an exact replica of an higher tier somehow costing more per month) then I think it's very good as a start.

The cool thing in the cloud is that you can just extend what you have, no need to create a new server.
