Seeking a cheap privacy-friendly VPS to host a Matrix server (1 year or more)

Hello there! I have a small cannabis growing Discord and wanted to experiment with bridging it to Matrix for more privacy-centric users. However, it appears you cannot do this with the Matrix app until it is self hosted.. I know very little about it so I figure I should just buy a full year in a privacy-friendly region. I'm unsure what specs are required, I am just getting back into this after more than 10 years without owning a VPS. Nothing in North America please.

Thanks very much in advance for any assistance!

    Not really. There is a public Matrix bridge bot you can use. Just create a room in a homeserver you're comfortable having it on, and bring the bot there.

    Also, running a Matrix server will be expensive since Synapse (main Matrix server implementation) requires a TON of resources as your homeserver grows on userbase, including those you federate with.

    If not North America, you're definitely not looking for the EU, Asia and Africa either.

    Why would anyone care so much about a weed growing discord?

    Esp. since there’s countries where it’s legal

    I think trading was implied.

    Ah, maybe it was

    Never seen Discord being used for that as it’s rarely used for ”local” groups, but yes being careful makes more sense if there’s selling etc

    Maybe a VPS in Bhutan, they have no foreign relations or embassies. But they require a license for everything.

    Edit: okay they have a couple of embassies.

    @MannDude with IncogNET in NL might be a very good fit.

    We've got stock in the Netherlands, and our business is built around privacy. Take a look.

    With that said, plenty of marijuana related sites hosted in the USA where we have a larger presence. Your choice though, of course.

    Good luck.
