    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.

      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 a 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?

      I use OVH. Reasonable prices, very reliable, and no bandwidth caps

        Second racknard. If you Google Black Friday special, you'll find the page where you can order a VPS with four gigs of RAM for something like $50 a year. It's not a 12-month special either, you can renew it year after year.

        I run docker containers there, a Red Dead redemption 2 server, etc. It's really useful commodity server to have around,

        3rd racknerd -- but I just use the cheapest KVM deal in the geographic region I need it in. About $10/yr for single core older Xeons with 768M-1G RAM. Still though I've been very happy with them.

          I've used EthernetServers .com and they have had good support, good support response times, and overall good service. I would gladly work with them again.

              Is that enough resource to use as a VPN?

                Works for me just fine but it doesn't see more than 3 users at a time if that.

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

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

                    For Minecraft plus some docker stuff, I'd skip OpenVZ and go for KVM.
