That's not bad at all gonna have to check it out. I host my site on digital ocean it's on the smallest single core 1gb ram droplet. I run crowdsec and nginx and a couple other little things and it sits around 40% ram usage. Costs 6$ a month and I added 4 weeks worth of automatic weekly backups for $1.50 a month.

I can deal with $7.50 for a little static web server.

They do offer a free $200/60 day credit if you get in with one of the free Linux Foundation cloud classes which is plenty to play with.

Should check out Racknerd. I've got a 4 core, 4 gb ram, 50 gb disk VPS for $50/yr.

Could you link the page which shows your exact config at that price? I can't find anything like that. KVM, AMD, Windows VPS - I looked at all three but none suggest the price you've written.

That price sounds like a steal, and I'd love to get it if possible. I currently pay $6/month per VPS with Digital Ocean

Another good site for VPS deals is https://www.lowendbox.com/ . I've used them to find the RackNerd deals and also I've got a storage VPS I use for off-site backup that's stupidly cheap with another provider.
