Comment on How do you pick a host to open an instance on?

domain name, the nomenclature for whatever@whatever.com is multipurpose (email/intra-instance mag addresssing)
an instance is software running on a server, being addressed at a location like whatever.com
i use amazon because its familiar, and has very mature tooling/services. it is a bit pricier... ~30%.
register a domain 'whatever.com' and then you can run any host you want lemmy.whatever.com, yourmom.whatever.com, etc.
