I recently found out that a "client" of mine (not really a client, just some people I did a favor to) had a forgotten machine with more than 3 years of uptime on Hetzner. That's quite the achievement!
Edit: I might add, serving a Wordpress website, still working, unhacked despite minimal configuration. We only found out because MySQL crashed and the machine had to be rebooted.
I am also using Hetzner Cloud. Pretty satisfied so far. They have reasonable prices for their products. Also, no complaints.
When it comes to raw performance, DigitalOcean seems to be slightly better, but also much more expensive.
Also using Hetzner, can't complain and the pricing is good.
Came here to say the same. Hetzner gives good services for the price. My experience with the VPS is that I set it once and it just works with 1.5 year of uptime now. What I really love is that if you need bigger storage but not necessarily fast, you can get storage box for like โฌ4 per 1TB and connect it to your machine with CIFS/SFTP/WebDAV. It works perfectly for my Nextcloud files, while everything else is on fast SSD.
Worth mentioning it makes sense the best if you're in Europe. Not so much if you're far away from Germany/Finland and want to have lowest latency possible
I think where you are (country) is kinda relevant?
Linode and Vultr are both cloud providers outside the big 3 (AWS, GCP, Azure) that are a fair bit less expensive and have a range of instance types you can spin up, plus custom block storage services - they have a few regions to pick from so you can often get one with a low ping to you.
If you want cheaper than that, and are okay with small providers who might not always be as reliable, try something like Lowendbox and check the listings there.
I'm in Europe. Been using Vultr, it's good. Now looking at Hetzner for better prices and a server that's actually in my country.
Hetzner was good when I used it a year ago.
I probably can't help you since I assume you are not from the same country as me. I would recommend that you use a more or less local service, but in order for us to give good recommendations, you will probably have to tell us where you are located.
Oci free tier?
In germany, netcup has a quite good price/performance ratio
I use https://1984.hosting/, they're pretty good and reasonably priced (you could find cheaper if you looked around, but I just like their policies better)
I mostly use Linode. Probably not the very cheapest, but they've never failed me.
I'm using the free tier of oracle for a Minecraft server and for something free it's really powerful (4 ocpus and 16Gb ram) although I think it might get revoked if the VPs is not used enough and I haven't touched other things than ssh and serving minecraft
4 cpus and 16gb ram for free? sounds too good to be true.
To verify only a single account per person, Oracle asks you to put your credit card and will test it with a small transaction. Subscribing from here https://www.oracle.com/it/cloud/free/
My bank refuses to let the transaction trough, as its an unknown company to them. And apparently it doesn't even reach their systems when I call them on the phone, but it reaches the bank's mobile app that will ask me if I confirm the transaction. The app will show Declined even if I accept it. It doesn't do this with other services, only and exclusively the test transaction of Oracle.
In the end I opted for something else.
I've been enjoying CyberGhost. It's cheap (I paid a reasonable fee for 3 years) and you can use it on 7 devices.
"VPS" not "VPN".
