Budget:
Around $15/mo for a solid VPS, or ~$25/mo for dedicated cores (VDS) from a provider that clearly meets the requirements below.
Provider quality beats price - I won't take the cheapest offer.
a) Payment monthly to start- if the service is solid, I’ll happily switch to yearly with a reputable host in a couple of month.
b) No setup fees.
c) For payment I prefer PayPal or a Stripe checkout (I’m okay with paying PP/ Stripe fees extra) - but I prefer not to have my my card details stored on your own billing panel or with obscure processors.
Not trying to offend the newer hosts - I just can't put an income earning SaaS on an unproven network:
About the provider (as important as the specs!):
This box will run production for a paid micro SaaS, so I'm only considering established hosts - ideally 3+ years operating under the same brand, with history here on LET I can read. When you make an offer, please include:
- Your ASN (or the ASN you announce from, if you resell) - I will look it up! - so save us both time if it was registered last year.
- Your upstreams - I want a network with at least two independent upstream carriers (multi-homed), not a single-transit setup.
- How long the brand has existed and roughly how many nodes/locations you run.
Usage Info:
The box will run a self-contained Docker Compose stack for a micro SaaS web application: a Node.js (Next.js) app server, PostgreSQL database and Caddy reverse proxy.
All public traffic enters via Cloudflare Tunnel, so no inbound ports are exposed. Outbound traffic is HTTPS API calls plus a nightly encrypted database backup to 3rd party object storage. No mail sending (port 25 unused), no VPN/proxy services, no mining, no nodes, no torrents, no user file hosting, no adult stuff etc...
Spec sheet for custom offers:
Target (the spec baseline): 6 vCPU · 16 GB RAM · 200 GB NVMe
Preferred Locations: Countries East of Europe, Asia, EU or US - in that order. (However, I will consider any location if the specs and provider requirements match.
Acceptable/EXTREME bare minimum for VDS : 4 vCPU · 12 GB RAM · 80 GB NVMe/SSD - but that RAM is almost too tight.
_Hard requirements: KVM or similar full virtualization (no OpenVZ/LXC - the Docker stack needs a real kernel)
_
· prefer dedicated (or at least enforced fair-share) cores
· Ubuntu 24.04/26.04 image
· root/SSH
· IPv4
Traffic: modest 1-2 TB/month is plenty
Explicitly NOT needed: port 25/mail, backup add-ons, snapshots.
Provider quality beats price - I won't take the cheapest offer.

Have a look at this VDS. Location-wise this is basically the east coast:
/ should you be ordering, turn your VPN off /
The rest also matches: multi-homed network, more than 10 years old, etc.
7 day money back guarantee on all VPS plans, so you can test the VM first.
Yearly option includes a discount.
@onidel has the specs u r looking for at 40USD which is above your budget, maybe you can ping @oloke or @onidel for custom offer.
@NDTN has VDS at 20USD but has lesser CPU cores, you can ask them for a custom offer.
Both are old and reputable providers on LET.
Update: open to increase my budget EDIT: to around $35–40/mo for a true dedicated-core KVM VDS if the network/provider requirements are met - the $25 ceiling is probably a bit too tight for that combo.
To...?
$35–40/mo is my max budget.
You can also look into @hosthatch their NVME 24GB plan at 22USD is suitable. It has 2 dedicated cores + 4 shared cores with 24GB RAM but storage is 100GB.

Hey @nillionaire,
Going through your list. Monthly to start with no setup fee, PayPal available, and our billing runs on our own panel with PayPal as a checkout option.
Your spec as a VDS in Eygelshoven, NL, meaning 6 cores on AMD EPYC Zen 3 Milan with ECC DDR4, 16 GB RAM and 200 GB NVMe in RAID 1, comes to 26.51€/mo. As a regular VPS the same build is 20.39€/mo, or 18.35€/mo with code LET10.
Traffic has no monthly volume at all, no counter and no per-GB overage. DDoS protection is included, 1 IPv4 plus an IPv6 /64.
