MANAGED HOSTING
By far the easiest way is to use a managed hosting service such as:

https://cloud68.co/instances.html
https://masto.host
https://writefreely.host
The hosting service does the tech stuff, but you own and run the instance.
DO IT ALL YOURSELF
Alternatively, you can do all the tech stuff yourself. This requires a lot more skill, but it gives you a lot more flexibility with choosing software.

Including WordPress in this category is nice since by default it does not speak ActivityPub.
But I understand that there is a plugin for WordPress to make it speaks ActivityPub.
Note: I love WordPress, albeit it is getting more and more bloated with features.
