I also use mythological names. Specially god names and mainly egyptian gods:
Anubis is my main one, 24/7 server. Ra is the one i use to experiment with and Zeus is my vps with vpn
For some very specialized cases that i used in the past for my Raspberry pi 4, i used Odin (i installed Huggin there), Tenjin (no reason at all, i just like it) and Khonshu
Technically the first distro i used was Lubuntu 10.04, but it was only a live cd because i was 13 by then and i was terrified that i installed linux and my father got angry at me if i left any evidence. The first one i used as a full SO to use as i like, Raspbian, so debian (wheezy, i believe).
Thanks😅. I wasn’t aware, and until today thought that sftp is just like “the secure version of ftp” (never heard of ftps), and not different things at all. I have still a lot to learn in this field.
Edit:I deleted the comentarios because i am unsure on what i am using right now and i don’t want to confuse people. I’ll check it when i have some free time

I am very happy with my VPS in IONOS. I pay the cheapest plan though but i have had virtually no problems with them for 2 and a half years. I recieved a mail once for a downtime but happened at european night so i didn’t even noticed. Otherwise, the dashboard solved any problem i caused.
I only have a very few selfhosted services there due to the limitations of my plan, but they are essential to me and i would recommended you to try it. It’s 1€ + taxes a month, very affordable, but very limited in resources.
