I currently use a Droplet from DigitalOcean which gives me 1 gb of RAM, 25 gb of storage and a bandwidth limit of 1 TB which is priced at 6 dollars per month, I think this might be a good offer, but I also think I’m overpaying because the only thing that I use from that is Wireguard to get around CGNAT at my home (which I could already do with Zerotier or Tailscale, so I don’t always use it).
I do have a couple of docker containers as well, but the most important one being Pi-Hole is only used along with WG, I also expose some services to the internet, like Overseerr, Plex (only to 1 user) and most recently this, https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all
Keeping within what DO already offers me would be nice, especially the bandwidth, which I some months got past of it because I opened the torrent port to seed more… I stopped when a DO letter arrived which is amusing because my country could not care less about torrenting. 🤣
I tried to go with the cheapest option ever (free) oracle cloud, but they never accepted any of my credit or debit cards nor they cared about it lol.
I don’t think I’m a power user by any means, so please, if you have a better offer do tell, or maybe that price is fair for my usage?
EDIT: forgot to add that a public IPv4 address is a must, because you know, the CGNAT.
racknerd is running a deal on 1cpu/1GB/25GB 4TB bandwidth at $13/year
Fwiw racknerd still has their 2022 black Friday deals active. I just got 8 core 12 gb ram 100 gb SSD 12tb bandwidth for 161 annual (little over 13 a month). Just search it on Google. It’s still live on their store site.
holy shit EDIT: Just got a pretty sick little vps for a year for like $40. Thanks!
Yeah, not seeing that. I have the 3 vCPU 4.5GB RAM one for about $50/year, but nothing like what you are seeing.
When you order the 3 vcpu 4.5gb one, you can upgrade cpu cores, number of ips, and ram. Maxed out minus the IPs and you get it for around 161.
Thats funny. They have 4th of July sale but the black friday prices are better.
Set one up yesterday. My first experience with VPS, but it was straightforward; seems plenty fast, but I haven’t done anything to push either memory or CPU.
It’s not the cheapest option on here, but Hetzner Cloud has some pretty good servers. I think their least expensive VPS is about $3.60 a month and comes with 4GB of ram and 40GB storage.
Serverhunter is a search engine for cloud servers and has easy to use filter functions.
I am surprised that I didn’t see anyone link to https://lowendtalk.com/ and https://lowendspirit.com/, OP can ask in both places and see what people have for offer.
I use Hetzner and it’s really good imo
Oracle Free Tier - as many (ARM) VMs as you can fit in 24gb RAM and 4 vCPUs.
