Best VPS options - Can't tell if I don't know of any good options or if I'm just retarded

Hey, I'm trying to find a good VPS in order to host some archives of websites I downloaded over the years as a hobby.

Got a pseudo next frontend with a custom warc parser all in docker. The plan was to forward the backend API to a VPS (where the frontend resides) but the vps I was using OVH (recommended from a friend) only had prebuilt packages, where if only wanted higher speed internet (since all of the websites are stored at home with a reverse proxy) I had to pay for higher tiers with storage and CPUs I didn't need.

I got it running with OVH but was wondering if there were any other options available for just shitty VPS good with good download speeds
 
If you need lots of space and US location is fine, https://crunchbits.com/vps/storage
They won't fold to "speech" related issues, owner is a great guy.

It all depends on how much storage exactly do you need. Provide me with specs for a more tailored recommendation.
Whatever you do, don't touch iHostArt, its unusable. I already told Josh to remove it from the list.

Sorry let me better explain my stack.

On the vps I have the front end of the server written in nextjs as well as the entry point for the API. Using a proxy I can connect this frontend to the backend somewhere else so all I really need here is something cheap to handle nextjs. For example /warcs/view?uri=... shows the wanted page with the parameters given.

On the backend it connects to my old desktop that I am using as the parser and the API. With a proxy the API and http requests are forwarded and responded to the frontend. This gives me the ability to buy as many cheap hard drives that I need without worrying about the costs of space, CPU, ram needed for parsing I think a couple tb or storage.

So all you really need is a reverse proxy to your backend, many cheap vps would do.
What are your bandwidth requirements(TB per month)? What uplink port would you like?

Any reference on these guys?

Anyone have more suggestions on hosts that tolerate "edgy" stuff like anti-trans and racist humor? Crunchbits and BuyVM are get mentioned a lot but both out of stock.

Incognet is open and rated S tier by Null but is rather expensive for what you get. I can get the same specs but three times the storage for $2 less a month on Cloudzy (which is linked by BuyVM as their "sister company", though I'm not really sure what that means in this context). If anyone can give advice on whether they are worth it I'll consider it.

Incognet is very good, but yeah you don't get a whole lot in terms of specs. If you have another server you can proxy/serve its content through the Incognet one and get the same protections

Otherwise, most providers usually keep some stock for internal orders even if they say out-of-stock. You can try contacting the provider and inquiring about making an order, I managed to make an order with Crunchbits a while ago by doing that
 
I use a cheap Linode instance as the VPN frontend to serve as a static IP for a domain name for the stuff I'm running in my home, it's been fine. It's mostly just personal apps and services, I'm not hosting a forum where everyone calls everyone else a niggerfaggot so I don't need to worry about them yanking the plug on my VPS in the middle of the night. According to Null, if you're trying to host anything controversial they're probably a bad choice.

Thanks for this suggestion! I ended up just using Cloudflare's free tunnel service and hosting on local hardware. I have plenty, I just didn't want to expose my IP to the public and link my domain to it.

If by some chance some rando comes across my domain, is offended, reports me, and I have to move then fine, but I doubt it. This works perfect for now.

BuyVM stock gets refreshed about once a month, around the first week of the month. This is a site that tracks their stock and lets you sign up for notifications: https://buyvmstock.com/

Cloudzy bought BuyVM earlier this year. Francisco (original owner of BuyVM) vouches for them in terms of their free speech commitment so I still feel good about them in the absence of any controversies.

OVH is fine until you need something that scales without paying for extra junk you don't use. I switched over to mvps.net for a few side projects, they let you pick specs exactly how you want, plus setup takes like five minutes. Definitely worth testing for a hobby setup.
