or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word “proxy”, “host”, or “hub” is simpler

the specific terms aren’t my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

    My vote goes to server, though with a little explanation as to why everyone calls them instances.

    Easier onboarding, but still nudging users to understand how it all works.

    Does that make sense? I don’t really know how to articulate the idea properly
