VPS for web hosting
Hello,
Seeking a VPS for web hosting potentially a blog with affiliate marketing and a forum related to tech topics. Somewhere in the EU location of host. Budget around $10 per month. Estimated visitors around a couple hundreds per month. Traffic must be unlimited; speed is required to be fast enough for an interactive forum but not much higher. It will use various lightweight forum platforms and potentially WordPress. Storage must be at least 200 GB and expandable. Payment via PayPal or card.
I've currently been looking at a €7-8/m offer with 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage and 6 vCores. If it can be beaten, please let me know.
Thank you.

Exactly what I'm referring to in the post as the offer I'm currently looking at. Nice catch! 😸

Hetzner.
netcup
Which product/service specifically? I had a look and it seems they're mostly dedicated, managed and higher prices therefore.
Hetzner's CAX12 & CAX21 seem notable to look at as well, thank you. Though not a super-high storage capacity.
OVH
@layer7 is pretty good, I think they can do something in your range.
I would also recommend @layer7, they have very configurable VPSes (Intel Xeon and AMD Epyc) in France and Germany, you can customize cores/RAM/disk: https://layer7.net/cloud-server
Hi,
we changed our offers recently to be fully configurable. So you could just extend resources on the go without the need to reinstall everything.
Free testservers available. If the price is interesting for you, i suggest you to get a free test server and check things out.
I realize I'm a kind of barging in, but are you sure you need a VPS for that?
Even if that's a typo and you actually meant "per day".
some WP modules do require power of VPS or dedicated server to use just for one user 😂
Maybe our KVM WinterDeal package is interesting for you, we could upgrade the storage and Cores for an additional 3€ per month.
You can look at the packages here: https://dsh.gg/winterdeal
Location is Germany, Frankfurt am Main.
Even per day or per month, he doesn't need an VPS for that.
I think netcup 2 eur is good choice

Thanks for the offer.
Is this available only this winter season?
True, but I just love tinkering around with Linux and VPSs and I might host some other stuff on it too.
And I believe it isn't that much more expensive anyway.
I went with Netcup for now, with a 6€ voucher, meaning around a Euro for the first month with the ARM64 €7 Amsterdam tier.
(I'm still sleepy but I believe those are the numbers.)
Also, what a wonderful forum. Great to see so much input, thank you all. Please, by all means, let the post go on if more suggestions are relevant as I'm always willing to try more alternatives.
