A few crappy laptops and built a flexible & reliable hosting platform. Proxmox allows me to have CentOS on one, Ubuntu on another, Debian, Alpine, etc. I also needed the ability to have different software for different domains. In my case I wanted each domain running within their own dedicated Linux server with separate IP addresses. I’d be doing it all the old fashioned way – which might not be for you. Moving to Proxmox also meant I must dive deeper into Linux because I was no longer using any tools to help me edit configuration files. Previously I wrote an article on self hosting using Webmin as your hosting manager, which is a great method for many people, but I grew out of it and have moved everything onto a Proxmox platform which gives me greater flexibility. This article is about self hosting domains using Proxmox. That is why I self host to save myself money! I have not paid for web hosting over the last 20 years and I’ve learnt stuff along the way.
First ask yourself “why would you want to host your website at home when you can pay someone else to do it for you?” Like everything these days it comes down to cost.
