@dside@mastodon.ml That's the thing, as long as you have a downloaded copy of your instance database, you can always set it up on another provider if your original provider goes down. This even works for Fediverse instances, the Fediverse connections will remain intact even if your provider disappears, as long as you store backups of the database locally. Home servers are wonderful, but VPS or managed hosting are good too 🙂
