looking for a low-cost dedicated server

Hello everyone,
I'm currently looking for a low-cost dedicated server provider and would appreciate any recommendations. Here are the specs I'm hoping to find:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700G
RAM: 64 GB
Storage: 1–2 TB SSD + 20 TB HDD
Bandwidth: Unlimited
Network: 1 Gbps uplink or higher
Location: Europe or North America preferred
My budget is relatively limited—around $60 to $70 per month, so I'm hoping to find something competitively priced. I understand that these specs at this price point might be difficult to find, but I thought I’d ask in case anyone knows of a provider or a deal that might fit.
If the service proves to be stable and reliable, I’m planning to use it long-term. For context, my current dedicated server has been running for 2 years and 1 month, and I feel it's finally time for an upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any leads or suggestions!

Big puzzy.
I have a friend who currently raise TWO of this breed of cat. Man they are so big.
@dann00 could help you with something

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I had a look—some of the options are a bit over my budget for now, but I really appreciate you sharing it. I’ll definitely keep an eye on them in case they run any promotions or discounts.
Try verasel.com
It would help you find more options if you remove the requirement for the 20 TB HDDs. You can mount an external storage for this purpose. It would be easier and perhaps cheaper that way.
PS Nice cat.
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve actually considered that option as well—using external storage would definitely be more flexible, especially since my main use case is just storage.
However, after checking out a few external storage providers, I found that not only is the storage itself relatively expensive, but there are also bandwidth limits in many cases. So for now, I think sticking with local storage might be the better choice for me.
Das a good kitty cat. Great thread.
What about Hetzner? It should fit you well, unless you're not already with them, otherwise i hardly believe that somebody would be able to offer you something within your budget.
I'm actually currently using a Hetzner machine with the 12500 CPU. Switching to the AX42 would unfortunately go over my budget at this point. But thanks again for the recommendation—I really appreciate it!
Stay at Hetzner, their prices are unbeatable (in the EU), unless maybe you pay for a year.
For USA, not sure if it will fit you but you could check https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/207240/gorillaservers-explosive-july-4th-event-bare-metal-deals-free-gear#latest provider, maybe they will be able to offer you smth within your budget, another option @fiberstate (https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/205298/f-i-b-e-r-s-t-a-t-e-l-a-o-v-e-r-l-o-a-d-double-all-the-things-9950x-madness-giveaways#latest)
@Hetzner_OL @fiberstate
Hey, appreciate you laying out the specs and budget so clearly—makes it easier to understand what you're aiming for. That combo of SSD + large HDD storage is great for hybrid workloads, especially paired with Ryzen.
While hitting all of that under $70/month can be tight, especially with unlimited bandwidth, there are a few setups out there that come close depending on how flexible things are (like port speed or HDD size).
If you're open to chatting further, feel free to shoot me a DM—happy to compare a few possibilities or let you know what might be doable in that range.
Go with Hetzner.
Maybe check out Scaleway (online.net) for your server and mount S3-compatible storage to it.
Why everyone advise Hetzner, does Hetzner comes up with Unlimited Transfer now? But still I am not seeing any progress in Singapore like I don't know why Singapore was not available for me. Right @Hetzner_OL ?
I think its not a big deal with Hetzner... they might be still expanding in Singapore.
