  • I reccomend you start with a vps, local pc is possible but in any case(in my personal experience at least) you’ll need a public IP anyways(which is hella expensive for personal use). In any case, you’ll have to get a vps. I suggest you check out Contabo. Good prices, pretty ok for hardware related things. I’d suggest you start Nextcloud, a website, very basic stuff. If you are planning to use a local pc, be advised that power will be a big factor. Unless you want to have to pay a lot on your electricity bill, avoid hosting too many things on your local pc(unless you want to have full control over your data, but I personally think if you apply basic cybersec principles, a VPS is fine). I do understand though, despite that it’s not fully reccomended, I want to locally host my own mail server to have full control. It comes down to personal preferences and how much control you want.
