Starting your own server on the Fediverse is easier and cheaper than you think.
You don't need technical knowledge, as you can use a managed hosting company. You pay them a monthly fee and they do all the techy stuff, including hosting, installation, upgrades, maintenance etc completely behind the scenes.
The price of a small Mastodon server with a managed hosting company starts from 6 euros a month. You can also make PixelFed, PeerTube, FunkWhale, BookWyrm or WriteFreely servers through managed hosting.
I've done a website aimed at non-technical people which is all about using managed hosting companies to create your own Fediverse servers and personal clouds. The site is at:

The Fediverse section is at:
