Great, I just tried to open it but my browser can't load the page (it loads for ever). Server issue or wrong URL?

BTW. Currently I'm only running a Friendica instance. Is it possible to connect to it with Friendica?

Now it works. I just subscribed with my Friendica instance to it. Nice!

just before receiving my FairPhone I'd like to setup the server side (for synchronization) using OwnCloud but I'd try installing MediaGoblin, Pump, and whatever could help me to go away from centralized services.

Which hosting service would you suggest me to achieve it?

I'm currently based in Munich but I don't see any need of restrictions other than: European provider, Free Software friendly, of course reasonably cheap. :)

I'm sure some of you might already have a setup similar to what I described above, so... what are you using?

You might want to try uberspace.de, which is free software friendly and pay what you want. I don't know if they support MediaGoblin, etc., but I've had good luck with web and mail with them.

Over the last couple of months I'm using Yourserver and I'm very pleased. Good performance and support on a reasonable price. They have datacenters on Sweeden and Latvia. https://www.yourserver.se/

In any case try to avoid US-based hosting providers, even they have European datacenters.

Hello,

I'd like to say thank you very much for the suggestions I received in this mailing list and directly to my mail. Really a nice community!

Today I bought the web hosting service and tomorrow I'll pick up my Fairphone from post office. Sounds like this weekend I'll be busy! :)

Good night!

Gianf:)

I'm a happy customer of Schokokeks[1], a small Free Software friendly hoster. From my own experience I can tell you that ownCloud, Friendica, GNU Social and Known works really well. Basically all the PHP stuff works without problems. I'm not sure about MediaGoblin (Python) and Pump.io (NodeJS). Especially for Pump.io I could imagine that it will be hard to find a webhoster which supports Apache and NodeJS next to each other. Maybe the best thing is to have a small (V)Server for this kind of apps.
