Translations:How to host your own Fediverse instance?/8/en

Hetzner is a green host for servers, so it runs on 100% renewable energy.
Visit hetzner.com (here is a referral link) and register for an account. Hetzner will ask you for some information including a billing method.
When you're finished setting up your account go to cloud. There click on "+ New Project".
Give the Project a name, like "my first Fediverse instance".
Now click on "Add Server". For your server location choose Helsinki and for OS image choose Debian 11. For Type you can start with the cheapest server CX11. You can skip all the other steps (maybe give the server a name) and click "Create and Buy Now".
Boom, you have a server. That's the first step completed. Congrats!
