Looking for a cheap cloud/VPS/VDS

solomax

Hello! I'm looking for a server.

Purposes: 1-2 small private Minecraft servers + site + some programming experiments
Price: $16 or less. I want to pay monthly with prepaid/subscription model. Don't want any surprises.
RAM: 8GB or more
Disk space: 60GB or more (SSD/NVMe preferably)
CPU: at least 2 cores with good clock speed
Traffic: at least 100Mbps
Bandwidth: enough
OS: Linux. I think that Ubuntu 18.04 is good
Virtualization: KVM

For now I'm looking at Hetzner's CX31 with it's very good reputation and QoS. Is there any better offer?

If you haven't already, check out our flash sale page https://hostdochost.i.ng/pricing/ where I think you can find something suitable. Plans can be stacked/combined and we also have resource pools in your budget which aren't on the promo site.

Since you mentioned Minecraft, what is your physical location?
That Smarthost 8GB limited offer is no-brainer if you're looking for a US location. Go for it. 👍

If you can fit your use case into 4GB ram SSD KVM with 75(+10)GB of disk, take a look at the yearly ultravps cloud specials in my sig (discount code integrated in affiliate link)
They are premium provider IMO.

If it's quality high ram NL/DE servers you need, wait another 25 days, and there is a very good chance that Ultravps.eu might offer this again for Black Friday : https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/157098/special-offers-2-vcpus-4-gb-ram-100-gb-hdd-3-33-eur-4-vcpus-8-gb-ram-200-gb-hdd-6-66-eur/p1

The SAS-Zfs variant is very well designed and you wouldn't be able to 'tell' the difference from an SSD array for 99% of application. (nvme ssd write caching magic)

Unfortunately, it is Russia. More specifically, Saint-Petersburg, so Finland or EU would be better. Hetzner DCs are in Finland and Germany, so geographically it's better.

Use this to check. Leaseweb is quite good. It might be <40ms to St. Petersburg

Edit: might wanna try Lithuania

• Where? Europe? East coast? West coast? Asia?
• If Europe then I'd recommend Nexus-Bytes current promo. I benchmarked it and it's about the best that's currently available in Europe (result and review avail. here at LET).
• Alternatively you could look for a VDS (with *dedicated resources) with your budget. I have a netcup VDS and am happy with it.
