It's much cheaper and easier than you think to create your own server on here. You don't have to be a techy person, there are hosting companies which will do the technical stuff for you.

I run a site for non-techy people who want to start their own servers, and it has a section dedicated to Mastodon and the Fediverse:

➡️ growyourown.services/grow-your

There's also an in-depth step-by-step guide to starting your own Mastodon server through managed hosting:

@feditips thanks for the amazong work you are doing on explaining open source, self hosting software.
We will soon launch Mastodon, #Pixelfed and @mobilizon managed hosting packages as well :ablobcatrainbow:

@feditips That's really great to hear! I tried running my own instance a few years back and paid the early adopter tax :) It ran for a year and then died and nobody could figure out how to get it running again so I gave up.

But honestly I'm pretty happy being a part of a larger community of like minded folks. Super appreciate oldbytes.space admins and denizens for helping make that happen!
