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)

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

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

X10hosting is free. No ads, fantástico webapp deployed included with Cpanel. For a project website I would never pay, if it’s commercial maybe
