gyptazy.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I remembered @stefano@bsd.cafe wrote a really nice short article on how he did with nginx.

Definitely an improvement! Even more convenient to set up with #guix deploy.
Predictably the resource utilization is dramatically different than Mastodon.
No idea how well that works or whether this makes any sense. 😂
At times there have been over a half million message objects in my snac profile directory. Snac has always handled it like a champ.
#snac ... Snac's Not A Crappie.

I come out to see that the marvelous @lisamelton@mastodon.social gave it a boost! Thank you Lisa!
Then I went to check on my VPS and it is showing:
load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.05
New #snac instance survived a Lisa boost. Yay! (Lisa Melton Boost Certified)
You may want to have a look on #GoToSocial and #snac.
You can also install #Friendica on a shared hosting (classic #LAMP environment). Did this for testing some years ago.
My own project #Mammuthus isn't ready for the stage yet.
