HN comment orderThis is a great resource. I just think the term “landlord” is a misnomer here. It implies you’ll be making income off the rent of your new self-administered infra, and as has been pointed out already - mostly this site pertains to stuff built on hyperscaler platforms. I’d probably say “…internet homeowners where, like in the UK leasehold property system, you’re still basically a tenant but without paying someone else’s mortgage, and even when you’re a freeholder the king actually…
The method introduced here depends on third-party VPS, which is operated by person other than you. Hence it doesn't make you a complete "landlord".
This is wonderful! The layout is great, the content is extensive, and the name/logo is pretty sweet.
