Can confirm. Cost me less than $20 to get started and setup my own domain on @bsky.app. It will be an annual cost, but worth it for the autonomy.
This is a good primer for self-hosting. There's so much benefit in Infrastructure Autonomy and the actual costs are way way less than people assume.
I wrote a quick guide to getting started with self-hosting.
