Oh wow $4/Month for that configuration.
Have you tried Contabo? and or OVH?
I saw some deals around there.
Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be dedicated cores, so...
The post says "CPU: 4 vCores (Shared is fine)", I made recommendations at $4/m
Would you like a bunch of baked potatoes? They are soggy as fuck but i don't mind sharing them.
No thanks, we like our Potato's sliced up and crispy! Thanks for the offer though
Don't worry, i'm perfectly fine with giving them away. Actually i almost puked trying to chew down the last slice.
As a provider, why bother to comment, if you are going to argue and can’t provide as asked?
Just curious why take time out of your day? seems inefficient if clearly not possible at your margins.
We clearly made a recommendation for Contabo and or OVH,
Fits right within his budget of $4/month, nothing argumentative.
Only further prove my point, do you believe everyone else is that naive they can’t see your intention?
“Oh Wow”, as if his request has personally insulted you, and to recommend OvH and Contabo as if they haven’t purposely loaded LEB you know exactly what your trying to get accros and I assure you, it was accomplished however unfortuantely if news to you, everyone else can notice too.
Plenty LEB providers are close to this, without discount no need to offend op
Datawagen, Layer7, OrangeVPS have these prices almost as default, often 10-20% coupons floating around on LEB
Just a quick update: I am totally fine with ARM-based servers (like Ampere) as well. If anyone has an ARM offer that fits the 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM specs within my budget, please let me know. Thanks!
Genuine question, are ARM servers cheaper by any measure anywhere?

Oracle Always Free Tier, maybe.
LOL. So that's a no.
Back in 2025, I would say netcup did a great job, but now... Everything goes down the hill.
Imho, ARM doesn't do anything better than amd64 in 2026.
