If I may, what are the requirements to make it self hosted?
@skullgiver @speaker_hat I'm considering spinning up a VW server right now. Thanks for laying out the reqs!
How do you make the sever available via the Internet? Do you host it on a cloud provider (e.g. AWS EC2)? or do you self host on your own bare metal machine?

A cheap <$20/year VPS is sufficient to host Vaultwarden. No need to spend several times that. My Vaultwarden installation is only using 120MB RAM, so a 1GB RAM VPS would be more than sufficient. Take a look at RackNerd, HostHatch, GreenCloudVPS, and the other top providers on LowEndTalk. RackNerd's latest sale has a VPS plan with 1GB RAM and 14GB SSD storage for $11.38/year: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/186994/boom-boom-4th-of-july-deals-come-come-deals-freebies-by-racknerd, but I'd personally go with the 4GB RAM and 75GB disk for $47.88/year, since self-hosting is addictive and you'll find plenty of other stuff you want to host.
(I'm not affiliated with any of these companies)

Given the prices of these VPSes, you could get two or three with different providers and have a warm standby in case of any issues.
RackNerd is legit though - a real company with a physical office. I've had some VPSes with them in the past, and only got rid of them because I wanted to consolidate a few things.
Look up "Vaultwarden"
