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.
Digital Ocean ?
They have had a few issues that are offputting to me personally
Can you share details into that?
They have many bad customers running things like email servers to send out spam. They then seen to ignore the problem which leads to digital ocean getting blocked.
