I’m self-hosting an OpenVPN instance on a Digital Ocean droplet in Amsterdam. I built it from the ground up several years ago, looks WAY easier now.

Haven’t used that particular doc, but what they had posted when I built mine was the clearest, most complete tech documentation I’ve ever followed. Big fan of Digital Ocean! Think I’m paying <$7/mo. for the server?
Not necessary, but if you want a domain name to point to karashta.whatever.name, NameCheap is my go-to registrar. Like Digital Ocean, cheap and comes with top-notch tech support.
I’ve eventually switched from NameCheap to Cloudfare, because they kept drastically raising my email domain price.
Cloudfare is one of the few (not sure if the only one) who has guaranteed wholesale prices (as in, the prices set by the tld owner), with nothing added on top. I moved my domain over, and I saved around 15$ a month.
The best thing to do is buy a domain in some other registrar, like NameCheap, because they will give you the domain for cheaper than wholesale (and then raise your price by a lot in the next few years, way above wholesale). So I just buy it cheap, and once the next renewal is higher than wholesale, I move it over to Cloudfare and keep it there.
