#62OVH, Hetzner, and the whole Low End family https://lowendstock.com/ https://www.lowendtalk.com/ https://lowendbox.com/ But nowadays you can get servers for free. AWS, Google, and even Oracle have free triers: https://aws.amazon.com/free/ https://cloud.google.com/free/ https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/
IIRC, at least the Amazon EC2 free tier is limited to the first 12 months. There was a point at which I got billed for the instance that was free before.

#63Hetzner. They offer VMs with 1 vCPU and 2GB RAM for 3€/month. Quite a deal.
Recommending Hetzner Cloud as well. They had some connectivity problems 6-12 months ago, but seem very stable in the last months. They provide backup and snapshot features, floating IPs, internal networking and mountable volumes as well - which can be handy in comparison to a barebones server from e.g. Kimsufi where you have to manage everything yourself. Hetzners lowest tier is "much" cheaper than DO and co.

#64There are many options mentioned already and one I haven't seen so far is https://www.ssdnodes.com/ been using it for some time, fares well.

#65There are at least 5 providers that will rent you a $5/month server: DigitalOcean, Lightsail, Linode, UpCloud and Vultr. There's a guy that publishes benchmarks of their $5 instance regularly https://joshtronic.com/2019/09/02/vps-showdown-digitalocean-... DigitalOcean is by far the most popular. Personally, I like Vultr because they also have $2.50 IPv6 only instances and you can upload your own ISO file if you want…
Yep. I use DO and it’s been just fine for low traffic websites. They’ve been great to work with and very easy to use. But I only host personal projects and internal tooling projects with them. Can’t speak to scaling but my experience has been positive.
For cheap hosting, nearlyfreespeech.net is where it's at, cheap and full shell access on bad.

And they have DDoS protection layer! With European data protection law better than US. It is a no brainer to pick Hetzner instead of any other services. They do have a difficult to remember name, maybe rebrand it for English speaking market.

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
Do you mean Oracle Cloud?
I think this thing https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/FreeTier/resource... some forum discussion https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/160260/oracle-cloud-fr... seems ok though slowish I/O
Faster io than the free GCP
