As one often does, I needed a domain and it's a nod to Bring Your Own Server pattern I've been tracking.
Hostinger VPS
This root domain bringyourown.computer is on a KVM-1 at Hostinger in a German data center - 1Â vCPU core, 4 GBÂ RAM, 50 GBÂ NVMe disk space, 4 TBÂ bandwidth, that cost $128.14USD for 2 years, or $5.34 per month.
See November 2024 PDS Setup on Hostinger.
It's one job is currently running a a Bluesky PDS. I might bring that home, and cancel the VPS. Price is going up to $205USD for 2 years.
OVH Bare Metal
As of June 2026, I have a bare metal server at OVH Canada, ovh.bringyourown.computer.
- Intel Xeon-E3 1270 v6 - 4c/8t - 3.8 GHz/4.2 GHz
- 64 GB ECC 2400 MHz
- 2×2 TB HDD SATA Soft RAID
This is from the Kimsufi series of "cheap" servers, the KS-5 in the case of this one I have. It costs $492CAD for a year, or $41CAD per month. One of the things you can't do with the Kimsufi servers is use the OVH vRack (virtual rack) to do private IP ranges.
It has Proxmox installed via OVH's setup install. There will eventually be a Proxmox OVH Setup page.
Home Lab
As of late May 2026, I have a GMKtec Mini PC that is running Proxmox proxmox.bringyourown.computer.
Initial GMKtec Mini PC Setup here. See Home Lab for more on what apps are running.
