VPS or cheap dedi in the Nordics
CPU: decent GB6 scores with 8 cores
RAM: 16-32 GB
Storage: 2 TB NVME preferred, or smaller NVME drive for the OS and HDD storage for the data
Connection: 1 Gbps
Location: Somewhere in the Nordics or Baltic states or nearby with good latency for Finland.
As for the budget, not sure. Will check offers.

@gigahost would be my top (and basically only) pick for dedis, assuming their base specs fit your needs, as changing anything can get decently pricy.
There's also @hosthatch for VPS, they're in a few nordic locations.
I would look at @gigahost Server Auction
https://gigahost.no/serverauksjon#
@gigahost, their server auctions is top noch. There was a 7950X server with 2 x 4 TB NVMe Disks for like ~ 111 EUR/m, which you will not find anywhere, especially with 10 Gbit/s uplink (95/5% billing)
I chose the "or"
~USD70 with 25.5% Finland VAT incl.
Hetzner DC Helsinki. (via Hetzner server auctions)
I was hoping for something cheaper than Hetzner actually
yea it is tough finding cheap dedi in the Nordics. If you want cheap, Pulsedmedia mini pcs are not bad but their support is slow and not active on here.
@UpCloud
The homelab is good choice, if you have old pc idling somewhere.
Hi @vitobotta - we have a Finland location. Check out our Performance VPS line - it includes 1 free automatic backup, has 1:4 CPU:RAM ratio, and can deploy with Windows evaluation copy images.
KVM, unmetered bandwidth on 1Gbps shared port, 24/7 in-house support, 30 day refund period.
You can also request a custom VPS configuration by contacting our team through live chat on the website. Cheers!
@LumaDock Can you specify the model of the processors? Are VAT included in prices?
Hi Tux, There is no VAT charged at this time. Finland runs on 7702 AMD EPYCs. If you want 9354, please check out High-End plans in New York.
Hi, for the Finland location it seems that the max storage is pretty small.
@gigahost for sure. Prem.
Not a cheap location I must add.
I just got an amazing deal with a Kimsufi dedicated server in Poland so I am good
Le-b?
