Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose. (lemmy.sdf.org)

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?

You can get a quad core ARM 24 gb ram vpn for free on oracle cloud on their free tier.

They refused my visa during the onboarding, a bit surprising

Credit card? Have things changed? I have two containers hosted there and I never gave mine.

[–] UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tried a few weeks ago. They wanted my card to check that I am not a bot (I am fine with that), the 0usd transaction succeeded but then I got an error message.

God knows what they'd have flagged. I was trying to sign up to sendgrid's free tier to test their SMTP server and got instabanned before I even got the verification email.

At least they helped me prove how crappy they are 👍

Any caveats to it?

Just don't try to run huge amounts of bandwidth or try to pirate content on it and you'll be fine. It does need a credit card on file, but it cannot charge it unless you explicity disable free tier.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Cool. I'd use very little bandwidth, and my other resource usage would be quite bursty, but almost zero most of the time.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Already got one of those but thanks

It seems permanently unavailable, how did you get an instance?
