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.
I know I’ll be told that it is a shit company, but Oracle free VPS works like a charm for me. Using it to circumvent CGNAT by running Wireguard on it
I’ll second that. Oracle sucks but they’ve given me thousands worth of free cloud shit over the last 3 years so I’m not displeased.
+1 on OCI free tier (ARM) - works like a charm. No need to spend those $5 a month of what OP want’s to do.
