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.
I rent from Contabo. They rent out Proxmox VMs. 6 Euro/month for 4 cores ( E5-2630 v4 in my case), 8GBs of RAM, 200GB SSD and I think 200Mbit connection
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.

Hey I have cgnat too and am looking to implement my own wireguard vpn. Can u please post some guide how to do it with a vps?
I don’t have a guide at the moment, but the easier way is to look up for Tailscale.
racknerd is running a deal on 1cpu/1GB/25GB 4TB bandwidth at $13/year
That seems like a good pricing, are you using it right now?

Thanks, I will have it in consideration!

+1 Hetzner, been a customer for years, they’re very stable.
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.
