I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.

I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.

I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.

Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.

All I will say is that company has issues. Make sure you have the full backup of whatever data you put there.

That is true of any hosting provider, I have backups backblaze.

That's good, because otherwise your data might end in a blaze.

If you need support outside of business hours, you're fucked.

Friend had a network misconfig on their side take his server out on Friday night and they didn't fix it until Monday.

That's just like Aws, you pay for better and longer support. But they don't make it clear support is only 9-5

That is definitely not like AWS

[-] mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud 1 points 5 months ago

Ok, Aws is 24/7. But they will just help you spend even more money
