Veeble | Webdock | Milesweb | Cloudfanatic | Time4vps | Hetzner | Vpsdime | Zap-hosting I’m looking for cheap VPS options. I’m trying to run Syncthing, a caldev server and maybe a searXng instance as well. Also what would be the catch with cheap VPS providers?

It’s not on your list but 1984. Iceland based, good for privacy, runs on renewable energy. You can install YUNOhost on it and easily run the things you mentioned plus a bunch of other stuff like email.
based on the book 1984?
Exactly https://1984.hosting/about/
Whatever one has a data center closest to you. If the VPS is on the other side of the country, the ping time will be very high.
Geographic proximity doesn’t necessarily relate to network proximity, but it’s usually pretty close. Sometimes if a route is particularly bad, your traffic might go across the ocean and back.
Another possibility for cheap VPS is Contabo they are quite good value. Netcup is good value as well.
From your list, I’d go with hetzner. Racknerd is another good cheap option.
Also check out lowendtalk or lowendbox. Various providers post deals there petty often and the community is active.
I moved from kts24 to a hetzner arm node earlier this week. So far I’m very impressed.
Hetzner wanted to charge me more because I am from “risky” country. Idiots…
I use Time4Vps now. Works fine with one downtime in a year. Their prices are reasonable.
Cheap but powerful VPS? NetCup ARM-Server or normal x86 VPS. Both are good
Damn, it looks amazing
If cheap (but reliable) is your main criteria, check out buyvm.net they’ve been solid over the years
I use Vutlr. They have a nice UI.
I used to use these guys for the same reason. I moved because of the forced agreeing to giving them your data. And now I’m paying less else where.
Source? I remember a follow up to a post about that saying it was a misinterpretation of their T&Cs
There were some older language taken out of context, and they’ve since removed the wording after things blew up. Some people who knee jerk reacted will continue to hold their initial reaction and never change their opinion, others will take ages to convince otherwise.
I use Hetzner exclusively and have just one complaint. You don’t get much choice as to where your VPS is hosted country-wise nor the OS it runs. You do get the standard list of options, as you would with any other provider, except that list is quite small on Hetzner. It’s good enough, I use Fedora everywhere and they support that so I’m good. Anyway, it’s obviously free to create an account so there’s no risk in case your setup isn’t supported.
Apart from that, they’re brilliant. The web console is nice, clean and well-designed, great value (1TB of storage clocks in at a few euros/month), room to scale and a decent company. Can’t comment on customer support since I’ve never needed it.
For the services you’ve specified, that’ll run you maybe 3 - 4 euros a month (that’s with automatic backups of your entire server + tax) since you can run all of that under one server.
Agreed on Hetzner, although I have used customer support—to add another distro option. Sent them a web link, and they had it uploaded under my account by the next day.
Oh wow, that’s pretty awesome.

I am hosting stuff on OVH at the moment. Entry level package is around £1 / mo in the first year.
I use netcup cheapest VPS server, so far it runs SearXNG, Shaarli and Miniflux all dockerized and they all run without problems, given the fact that they are all single user instances.
May I ask what is the spec of your VPS?
The cheapest one from the link above 2 vCores (x86) 2 GB RAM 40 GB SSD (RAID10) 80 TB Traffic
Hetzner if you are in the EU, dirt cheap haven’t had a problem. Had to use customer support once, wasn’t a problem either.
I’ve been using Hetzner at work now for more than ten years and for my personal stuff for more than five. I haven’t tried many others but I haven’t had a reason to do so
I agree with you, recently moved to hetzner one of my vps’s, ended up costing me almost 2 euro cheaper than vultr + higher specs.
Also have another auction dedicated server with them, which is really amazing for the price it costs me (hosting my lemmy instance/sharkey/… in total about 20 diff services plus a minecraft the 1.12.2 pack server ) the server barelly sees around 20% cpu usage on my grafana dashboard.
So from the point of price/performance hetzner is amazing.
Out of those I’ve tried hetzner and milesweb and I thought hetzner was better in terms of ping times for me and easy to use
