My main use currently is a modded Minecraft server. But I want a VPS over one of those Minecraft host specifically because I plan on messing around with docker containers later and hosting my own Lemmy instance. Currently I have an openVZ server from TNA hosting because it was like $50 a year. But it’s not powerful enough for the Minecraft modpack.

So what VPS provider would you lot recommend?

    Oracle Free Tier. Works like a charm for me for 2 years. Really free, really working. No matter what shit company Oracle is.

      Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.

      You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.

      Their free tiers look nice, but I’ve read that your server must stay above X% CPU usage average to prevent deletion, is that true?

      I got one. It’s just too slow for what I need and can’t do webrtc because of a hardware limitation.

      Interesting, maybe I’ll play around with that. I’m currently on a simple $5/month Hetzner VPS which does everything I need it to do, but maybe I’ll try using it for experimental stuff (considering a Rust build server, for example).
