The image of a repo at that link looks very nice.

I host most stuff at home. No DDNS required on TekSavvy (via Shaw's 
last-mile). Maybe IP addr changes once per year. Maybe.


As for VPSs, a couple podcasts have promos with Linode and / or Vultr:

Same podcaster, different podcast with a couple extremely knowledgeable 
guys:

Finally, one of the LUGs has a member who owns a hosting company which 
has donated VPSs to that LUG plus another group, which I'm admin for:

Give some consideration to that Canadian company who's involved with the 
community. Everything works just find, and Mark Steffan even added a 
requested DNS PTR so BCLUG's email server could be hosted there.
