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?

Oooh this seems like a really good value

That's what I said. I liked ssdNodes too, but they're much more expensive. I generally troll around lowendbox every now and again for good deals and when I saw this one I checked it out and decided to take the plunge. I like them so far.

Disk read/writes are a little slow because they use ceph volumes for H/A storage, but there are tons of benchmarks in that lowendbox thread. I highly recommend you check them out before you order and make sure they'll be good enough for you. But if they are, should be a good value.

I have a dashboard running here for my VPS: https://dash.xno.dev/

It's running docker with a few services: http://i.xno.dev/u/aDsmTX.png along with a caddy-reverse proxy. Handles it really well.

I forgot to warn you about that! I got the same thing and opened a ticket about it: http://i.xno.dev/u/B0C5Fe.png
