I want to get a new VPS. It’ll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.

I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It’s fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.

I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it’s worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

P.S. I’m based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.

Update: Hetzner’s CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I’m planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It’s great that they don’t lock you in with yearly plans.

Where are you, if I may ask? Their Intel offers are not based in the US. Most of the time, I’ll access it from inside US, so I’m worried about the latency.

@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org in the US, but I prefer to have a server in places with better user protections… AFAIR they do have a data center in Hillsboro, OR, but IDK about what specific offer they have there.
