DigitalOcean has droplets that only cost $4/mo. I use one for a small, static site and a gopher server.

Can recommend Hetzner (German IP). Good value and so far solid.
Before that I used OVH (French IP) for years but it ended badly. First they locked me out of my account for violating 2FA which I had not asked for or been told about, and would not provide any recourse except sending them a literal signed paper letter, which I had to do twice because the first one they ignored. A nightmare which went on for weeks. And then, cherry on the cake, my VPS literally went up in smoke when their Strasbourg data center burned down! Oops! Looks like your VPS is gone, sorry about that, here’s a voucher for six months free hosting! Months later they discovered a backup but the damage was done. Never again.

I recommend Hetzner too. I’ve been a happy customer for a decade. Support, should you need it, works well and services are rock solid.

+1 for Hetzner

I’m also a switcher from ovh to hetzner. Good service, good support, fast machines, the administration website is very good (ovh was slow and ugly), snapshots and backups are cheap and directly available (AFAIR ovh snapshots required a monthly fee). Hetzner is Germany based, good for GDPR, and now they have data centers in USA too.

I switched from Vultr to Hetzner, mostly because I was annoyed at the screen-blocking prompt to accept the new EULA (included forced arbitration). Hetzner still has the forced arbitration, but the prices are good and I haven’t found anything to be especially annoyed at.

Oracle free vps. I run it for wireguard tunnel to circumvent CGNAT on my home connection. Shit company, yes, but works well for over a year. I run Ubuntu server on the VPS.

Yeah, those may work. Since you’ve one how does it look like? Are there blocked ports line SMTP? Are the IP good / aren’t blacklisted everywhere already? Thanks.

I was able to open any ports in NAT settings on my router and get access to my network. One day they pit me behind CGNAT. Wo i did the Wireguard tunnel connecting my tiny client ubuntu with outside VPS. Works like a charm. My operator can go screw themselves.

Great, but what services are you hosting ? What ports you need?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from TCB13@lemmy.world
Adguard Home DNS, Jellyfin, Gitea, Webmin, webmail, LibreSpeed, SSH access, Wanderer (trail database), Portainer, Apache2 web server and just likely more.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from kokesh@lemmy.world
So, looks like tons of HTTP services and SSH.

Can you explain how to do it?

And what instance do you choose?
Thanks :D

My server is in Europe somewhere, I run Ubuntu server. Caveats… Doesn’t run on a gigiabit connection, but that is honestly not necessary. Once I got notification, that free instances are stopped when not in use for some time. After that they stopped it, I started it again and after that it just runs all the time.

I would use something like cloudflare pages or an Azure static web app. Its free and serverless you just update your site with github or similar.

Lesser-known, perhaps, but their prices are great…

I have had no problems with Racknerd… That being said I just use my VPS and a tunnel back to my home server but totally worth the $22 is cost me a year.

What’s with that crazy price jump from $23/year to $18/month? Doubling RAM and cores increases prices by 9x? 2GB RAM and 2 cores is $5-6 at Hetzner, no idea how they think $18/month for 1GB RAM and 2 cores is competitive in any way.

Not uncommon really. Bring in customers at the cheap tier and then once they’re in your ecosystem overcharge for the higher tiers.

Idk, most of the bigger VPS services don’t have anything like that. Yeah, they have higher tiers, but you usually get similar or better value as you go up.

Good point, I imagine you’re right! I haven’t shopped many VPS services, I was venting about the general practice I’ve seen in other services before.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from IronKrill@lemmy.ca
Fair. Here are some that I find to be pretty consistently competitive:
I’ve used each and liked each. They’re rarely the absolute cheapest, but they are usually competitive at all tiers with no pretty much no shenanigans. I’m currently with Hetzner, which has been good for the few months I’ve been with them, but I’ve spent multiple years with the other two.

Depends on what you need:

Avoro is really cheap and I can recommend them. If you are student, you might want to look into GitHub Student pack, which includes DigitalOcean credits.

Contabo
netcup

I second that. I’m using Contabo for years without any problem.

Thirded.
They occasionally upgrade services for free, and rarely raise prices. They support a variety of base Linux images, including Arch (which, when I first switched to them, was rare). The control board is functional, and they’ve got all the features needed to implement VPN subnets, DKIM, etc. without having to use the DNS provider’s tools (assuming you are using a different provider). There’s also a command-line tool for managing your VPSes with them. Reasonably priced, the usual array of options from cheap to expensive, easy to add resources, and so on. Servers in the US and Germany (and maybe others? I haven’t added a VPS in a while).
When I first started self-hosting, not all of this was standard. I can’t say I’ve looked at the market in a few years, so perhaps their offerings are standard now, but when I moved from another hosting provider, Contabo stood out. I have been quite happy; perhaps the best thing I can say about them is that I haven’t had to contact their technical support in the past couple of years.

Racknerd. I have two VPS with them for a total of $25/year. not as feature filled as any of the big players but it’s dirt cheap.

I have two of their basic VPS and they’ve worked well. My few interactions with customer service has been less than awesome though.

I use Netcup. Reliable, simple, great deals from time to time (such as Black Friday).
