Let me know how it goes!
I'm aware of Yunohost and Sandstorm in terms of Fediverse.
Personally I look into hosting within Europe (mainly because data protection levels. And the hope of not having secret agencies doing stuff on those machines).
Signed up with @Stuxhost (Netherlands) but am confused by their tiers.
So haven't progressed much here.
Guess, I'll end up with a Hetzner VPS some day.
