   Okay #Fediverse, I have another question for you. I would very much like to extricate myself from Squarespace and move my website(s) to something more self-hosted, where I could hopefully even host a small database and have other publicly-accessible assets. Where should I be looking? I am a total novice at site building, but I’m handy with code and not afraid of failure 😅

     @adastra1930 A lot of shared hosting providers are cheap, but pretty rubbish in terms of specs, so sites end up slow. Advantage is that they often come with a web control panel, like cPanel or Plesk to help you manage your sites, DBs, domains, email, files etc.

     Ionos offer a free Plesk license with their VPS, which are more powerful than shared hosting, but a similar price. I'd recommend them, it's where I host my sites.
