Looking for cheap VPS/VDS for a game server in EU
Hey, LET!
Looking for a not expensive server in Europe for hosting game servers.
Since I plan to keep there games for me and my friends - I do not need a hyper powerful and super expensive server, inexpensive and stable working will suffice.
And so I am interested in the following parameters:
8gb ram
2 cores
20gb+ssd
1 ipv4
Up to $5-6 per month.
EU location.
I have already found a few such offers, but if the community will throw up good options...

Contabo has 8 GB ram for €5, but they oversell a lot so there is a chance your vps is on a node with a lot of bad neighbors.
Eh? What kind of games you gonna host there as they don't need "powerful" CPU?
valheim or vrising. for 4-5 players)
Hy, we have a promo starting from tomorrow, it might be to some interest for you

2 vCore CPU
8GB DDR4 ECC RAM
20GB SSD
10TB @ 400 Mbps
1 IPv4
$6/month paid quarterly.
there is one "evolution host" which has gameserver. I had used them. good fit.
I am not affiliated with the company, but rent my server from them myself:
4 vCores (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X or AMD Ryzen 9 5900X)
8 GB DDR4 ECC RAM
100 GB NVMe
5TB @ ~1000 Mbps+ (The hypervisor has 2x 10Gbps, but because it's shared, I always got around 2-3Gbps, could be less, could be more, you know..)
Location: Frankfurt Interwerk (DE, Tier 2)
For 7.49 €/month, but you can save 20% with the code "ht-kvmryzen-20-2023" recurring, so it will be 6 €/month.

Geekbench 6: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/2468159
(I don't have a full Yabs of this package at the moment since I moved to another configuration, but the disk speeds are completely fine and connectivity is too)
As you can see, YES the server is oversold, but at the same time the price/performance ratio is still much better than with contabo or similar providers, so if you are ok with that, this can be a great deal
I used Contabo for a couple of years, then moved to WebTropia (performance was way worse than contabo) and then moved to HT-Hosting and had only minor problems so far, only downside is only Tier 2 but I guess thats ok for a small gameserver.

This is what we are at according to pterodactyl panel for game servers.
we are on
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7950x with 8 dedicated cores.

I think you can get away with fewer resources.
No, minimum load at 4cpu and 8 ram =
40%cpu + 5.5gb ram, you need to keep a reserve just in case)
