Is there a good hosted Mastodon provider that's <$10/mo and isn't full? I'm just trying to host my own account. Or maybe at most my immediate family.
@marathon0 That's not loading for me. If you meant masto.host, they're not taking sign-ups currently.
@acjay Ah OK was going from memory - I'm not surprised, guess he's overloaded with work maintaining what servers he does have. I had a few conversations with him a couple of years ago - seemed genuine and nice.
There's a whole list of hosters listed here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/
Maybe one of them meets your needs and is available?
@trinsec Thanks!
Looks like all of them are either not taking new users or not in English, with the possible exception of Cloudplane, which might be more of a Digital Ocean type solution. I can't quite tell yet. I'm hoping for as managed as possible, ideally. Like a wordpress.com style solution.
I might go with the Digital Ocean fully baked image solution, even though that's not as managed as I was hoping for.

Anybody help this person out? I don't know if the instance is accepting new accounts but mastodon.host hosts servers for some on the Federation. If memory serves it was at a reasonable price point.
