My main use currently is a modded Minecraft server. But I want a VPS over one of those Minecraft host specifically because I plan on messing around with docker containers later and hosting my own Lemmy instance. Currently I have an openVZ server from TNA hosting because it was like $50 a year. But it’s not powerful enough for the Minecraft modpack.

So what VPS provider would you lot recommend?

Second racknard. If you Google Black Friday special, you’ll find the page where you can order a VPS with four gigs of RAM for something like $50 a year. It’s not a 12-month special either, you can renew it year after year.

I run docker containers there, a Red Dead redemption 2 server, etc. It’s really useful commodity server to have around,

3rd racknerd – but I just use the cheapest KVM deal in the geographic region I need it in. About $10/yr for single core older Xeons with 768M-1G RAM. Still though I’ve been very happy with them.

Is that enough resource to use as a VPN?

Works for me just fine but it doesn’t see more than 3 users at a time if that.
