I do not recommend VDS 2C4G due to poor GB6 performance.

By the way, when installing FastPanel on their VDS 2C4G ($4.20/month), the process was noticeably faster compared to my VPS 2C2G from Crunchbits ($3.60/month).

So, what should I do? What’s the optimal solution for $5/month?
I want my Drupal 11 site to run as fast as possible. I’m not considering a dedicated server (though... maybe I’d consider it), as my use case is completely non-commercial, and I’m not making any financial profit.

If above performance is enough for you, then contact support. They will fix it for you. By default their 4GB VDS is like that, I don't know why.

No, that’s not enough either.

Moreover, my Crunchbits VPS is significantly faster, and I expected their VDS to be more stable and at least 1.5x or even 2x faster than Crunchbits.

So, I bought a 1C2G VDS from @ShockHosting
The test results are really great, in my opinion:
