I want to get a new VPS. It’ll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.
I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It’s fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.
I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it’s worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
P.S. I’m based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.
Update: Hetzner’s CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I’m planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It’s great that they don’t lock you in with yearly plans.
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org I use hetzner and it looks fine to me
Where are you, if I may ask? Their Intel offers are not based in the US. Most of the time, I’ll access it from inside US, so I’m worried about the latency.
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org in the US, but I prefer to have a server in places with better user protections… AFAIR they do have a data center in Hillsboro, OR, but IDK about what specific offer they have there.
I would recommend Digital Ocean for a VPS. With you being in the US latency should be decent and you can pick whichever is closer to you either SF or NY. My Lemmy instance is hosted on DO even.
Have checked out OVH yet?
Have a VPS and a dedi with them
All I will say is that company has issues. Make sure you have the full backup of whatever data you put there.
If you need support outside of business hours, you’re fucked.
Friend had a network misconfig on their side take his server out on Friday night and they didn’t fix it until Monday.
That’s just like Aws, you pay for better and longer support. But they don’t make it clear support is only 9-5
Digital Ocean ?
They have many bad customers running things like email servers to send out spam. They then seen to ignore the problem which leads to digital ocean getting blocked.
