Hi community, wanted to know your opinions on the various VPS companies offering compute boxes in the cloud. Which one do you use, why, and what do you recommend for someone who has a $15 budget for a decently powerful box(es)?
Thanks!

I have used a bunch of companies and theyre all good enough. Here are ones that stood out to me.
vultr.com because they offer a lot of capabilities in their admin console. Like uploading a custom iso for an os they dont already have listed.
Fdcservers, unmetered service but the connection isnt gig.
Ovh has very competitive pricing and cloud like capabilites.
I’ve only used one VPS so far, but I can second that Vultr has been pretty good to me thus far.
Thank you for your suggestions! I’ll have a look at all of them!
If I may add, Hetzner gives 1TB of storage for $3 a month, if anyone needs extra storage!
Thirding vultr. Their control panel is great and I’ve been running my Lemmy instance on it for a few months with no issues. You can have automatic backups for an extra 20% as well.
They are quite expensive imo. Someone recommended Contabo and I’m looking that way, economically speaking (using a VPS seems to be a better financial decision in my case).
Thanks!
What OS are you using for lemmy?
Ubuntu 22.04 with Lemmy Easy deploy because I’m lazy.
What did you intend to do with the vps?
Run podman containers and some LXCs. Mostly related to media, some OSINT, some IOT, run my own search engine etc.
