I selfhost on a cheap VPS I found on LowEndBox. The security setup (not SimpleLogin) was more involved than SimpleLogin. Pretty easy to get working and I’ve had not a single issue in 1.5 years of selfhosting it. I pay $11/yr for the VPS compared to $30/yr for SimpleLogin.

If you mean the gold guy on the horse when you first start, don’t fight him (yet). You can avoid him.
