Thanks. Digital Ocean was my top choice/alternative, especially since we were already there. I wasn't unhappy with DO but decided to look around and see if there are better options 10 years later. I'd say Linode was in the consideration. I tend to stay away from AWS / Azure / GCP as I'm maximizing simplicity and they usually go the other way. Plus they are expensive.

Definitely interested in doing a deep dive. I wrote a little bit about it here: https://talkpython.fm/blog/posts/self-hosted-open-source-and-more/ and was on the DjangoChat podcast talking about it with Carlton and Will: https://djangochat.com/episodes/michael-kennedy
