Best bang for buck vps for headless web scraping

I want to utilize VPS for selenium web scraping, using headless firefox browsers, and am trying to find out what the best bang for buck will be.

I need to run between 1 and 10 selenium firefox headless per VPS, depending on price/cpu and price/memory for the VPS (and then run each VPS to capacity).

I do not need hardly any storage per vps (20GB or even less would be fine) but am after the CPU and memory to maximize running headless firefox.

Thanks!

  • I'm scraping as well, and after a certain point from having so many VPSs it just made sense to switch to dedicated.

    I just got a cheap 30 euro E3 from Hetzner, and adapted my scraper to use socks 5 proxies, which are hella cheap.

    Hetzner has 2 cores for 4.35 euro though, they dont really care if you use the CPU 24x7 100%
