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.

      Oh my goodness (obviously im super opinionated on this) never use safari, its stoopeed. Only use Firefox, Chrome or even … Edge. Not sure if that will help you, but safari is gross.

        Sadly it is the most optimized one for macOS, so in here is a necessity, but I just found this happen on Chrome too so I’ll be damned.

          Darn im sorry. But also I never use safari on my mac. I have a mac book pro for work as a software engineer. we only use the ones I showed you. (again sorry i super passionately hate safari)

          Good luck on your search for a VPS though! Oh yeah my friend texted me 2 sites and I chose servarica.com but the other one he suggested is Contabo! https://contabo.com/en/vps/
