If I’m getting what you’re trying to ask, is probably a better question for !selfhosted@lemmy.world.
Basically I wish to start a lemmy instance of mine own, just like lemmy.world or programming.dev is.
Start as in developing or as in hosting?
You're asking in a community called devs, implying you want to develop, but it seems like you want to only host?
Why dont people understand? They want it from the scratch!!
Not simply host, develop an instance right from the scratch !!
If you don’t want the hassle of self-hosting, managed hosting is another option.
Here’s one example host to compare to: https://www.knthost.com/lemmy $11.25/mo.
No idea if they’re any good.
200gb is not a lot, is it?
I am curious how it works/counts - is it only own contents, created on the new instance or also data received from other instances?
For a single user it could be enough. It depends mostly on how many images they want to post.

Do you mean 200gb is per user? Not for the entire instance?
If it’s a single-user instance, that’s the same number.
Do you mean that this linked hosting is for a single user instance? I didn't realise that.
It seemed like the OP wanted their own instance for themselves. Now that I look back, I realize they may have wanted other users, too.
I understand now. You meant that 200gb is for the entire instance, irrespectively of number of users but you think he just wanted an instance for himself.
Yes, but I admit I could have misunderstood about it being a single user instance.
That's ok, I was asking in case I wanted to create one, and that wouldn't be a single user. I am not sure what he wanted but he was banned by few instances for anti vax theories (I think) so he may be after a single user one.
