[LOOKING FOR] Germany/EU VPS | €4/mo max | 1Gbps Port | High/Unmetered Traffic
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a reliable VPS located in Germany or elsewhere in Western Europe.
My requirements are:
- Location: Germany preferred; Netherlands, France, Belgium, or Ireland would also be fine
- Budget: ideally €1–2/month, but up to approximately €4/month if the provider and network quality are significantly better
- CPU: at least 2 vCPU
- RAM: at least 2GB, preferably 4GB
- Storage: at least 40GB SSD/NVMe
- Network: 1Gbps port preferred
- Traffic: preferably high or unmetered traffic with a clearly documented Fair Use Policy
- IPv4: 1 IPv4 address required
- Virtualization: KVM preferred
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 or the ability to install a custom ISO
- Root access required
Intended use:
- Private family self-hosting
- Docker-based web/API services
- A private media streaming application
- NNTP traffic to a European Usenet provider
I currently have access to a very inexpensive German VPS offer at around €1/month with 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD, Frankfurt location and included traffic (1Blu Eco VPS). However, I am particularly interested in hearing whether there are providers with better documented traffic limits, better uptime, or more reliable KVM infrastructure.
Would spending up to €4/month provide a meaningful improvement for this use case, or would the cheaper German VPS be sufficient?
Thank you very much in advance
