I currently use a Droplet from DigitalOcean which gives me 1 gb of RAM, 25 gb of storage and a bandwidth limit of 1 TB which is priced at 6 dollars per month, I think this might be a good offer, but I also think I'm overpaying because the only thing that I use from that is Wireguard to get around CGNAT at my home (which I could already do with Zerotier or Tailscale, so I don't always use it).

I do have a couple of docker containers as well, but the most important one being Pi-Hole is only used along with WG, I also expose some services to the internet, like Overseerr, Plex (only to 1 user) and most recently this, https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all

Keeping within what DO already offers me would be nice, especially the bandwidth, which I some months got past of it because I opened the torrent port to seed more... I stopped when a DO letter arrived which is amusing because my country could not care less about torrenting. 🤣

I tried to go with the cheapest option ever (free) oracle cloud, but they never accepted any of my credit or debit cards nor they cared about it lol.

I don't think I'm a power user by any means, so please, if you have a better offer do tell, or maybe that price is fair for my usage?

EDIT: forgot to add that a public IPv4 address is a must, because you know, the CGNAT.

That price is pretty fair for what you get.

I've had really good experiences with Ramnode for years. I run VPN endpoints, reverse proxies, and various web apps in a couple of their data centers and have had about as close to zero problems as possible, plus their support is quite competent when something does break. Performance is what I expect 99% of the time.

Before that, Linode was good for me as well, and I still have friends who like it.

If you do try Ramnode out, here's my affiliate code, I am broke as fuck and really appreciate it. https://clientarea.ramnode.com/aff.php?aff=4335
