Description

I think a lot of people price running ord and bitcoind on a VPS and get discouraged. When in fact, dedicated servers can be had for around $50 a month that are quite capable of running ord and bitcoind. Pointing people to these hosting providers would be quite useful.

I.e.:

  • Pay Hetzner $50 a month for this server
  • Get a domain name, point it at the IP address
  • Run the deploy script
