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?

    I’ve been happy with racknerd. They usually run specials that are pretty reasonable: https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear/

    I did have one rather long outage of about 48 hours once. The host running my VPS had a nic fail. They got it fixed and it’s been solid ever since.

      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.
