Should I get this VPS for hosting a basic website for myself? This is a private hosting service that my friend's friend runs.(alien.top)

Expensive. And I avoid small providers, without any established compliance, where a bored admin could surf through my server root ;)

What kind of website? If static, I will happily use github pages or gitlab pages.

Contabo.com has a really good VPS option which is in the same price range, but you get information about what you’ll get. (8 Gb Memory, 200 Gb SSD, 4 vCores).

But if you only want to run a website, maybe just go with dedicated web hosting?
