I can only speak for tilde.fun, but it's helpful to not have any users currently (^^) and disable outside communication apart from ~/html/ where our users can put static files into.

Most tilde sites don't have public mail servers and only federate mail between them and other tilde servers. See also https://tilde.team/.

Do you use a VPS on AWS or something like that, or an actual physical box?

It's currently a VPS rented from Strato.de, one of the biggest German hosting providers.

Since I'm paying out of my own pocket I currently don't want to afford a colocated server, even though I realise that'd be cooler and possibly more secure.

I'll try to have a detailed cost overview online somewhere soon-ish.
