Have you considered hosting it yourself? There are projects like Freedombox aimed at making personal servers on small devices easier to set up and use. You could make wonders with a cheap, low-power ARM computer and a relatively reliable Internet connection. The only downsides I see compared to a VPS is the physical management of your server and dealing with dynamic IPs.

Hi all,
Does anyone have suggestions for finding server space where I
could set up Friendica? Ideally this would be a service that is
well-disposed towards Free Software and its role in society.
I'm sure I could find a web server, and maybe it would support
Friendica, but it would be great to work with people who
understand my goals.
Some gratuitous background: I wrote some months ago about
setting up a small personal server to run Friendica and possibly
other services. I've made enough progress in that direction to
realize how important it is to do this securely, and it's going
to take me considerable time to achieve that. It's still a
goal, though. Getting space on someone else's server is a
second-best option. In addition, my mother wants to learn about
Facebook, so I feel there is some urgency to offer an
alternative.
