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.
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.
Already got one of those but thanks
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.
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.
