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?
Oracle Free Tier. Works like a charm for me for 2 years. Really free, really working. No matter what shit company Oracle is.
Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.
You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.
Their free tiers look nice, but I’ve read that your server must stay above X% CPU usage average to prevent deletion, is that true?
Did you upgrade your account to a paid one? I’ve read that this might help to precent from being deleted. Even with a paid-as-you-go account you’re able to use the free tiers.
I’m on completely free, no deletionm I’m using it to run Wireguard tunnel to my home network, after I was put behind CGNAT. Domain name pointed to the VPS, it redirects ports to my home.
24gb memory and 4 OCPU . the CPU doesnt sound like much, but if its using the ampere back end and not the amd micro, the CPU performance scales up with demand (to a point).
I have two containers running, one using 16gb memory and another using 4gb, they each have one cpu and they perform fine for what they do.
