I just had my hosted server die a horrible and severely fatal death. (i.e.
NO way to resurrect the hardware) So instead of buying new hardware and
finding someplace to host it I have decided it would be cheaper, at least
in the short run, to find a VPS hosting company and just lease a VM.

VPS hosting comes in a couple of different flavors. What OS you can use and
what you can do on the box has a lot to do with how they are setup. Unless
you're getting into the nitty gritty with doing strange stuff with the
networking the portal software they give you is probably more important

You said VPS, not dedicated server, right?
I use vpsdime.com for my VPS needs currently. They run as cheap as
$7/mo, for what is a very adequate server, in terms of CPU. If you
need a lot of storage space, I'd look elsewhere.
My favorite go-to site for finding a VPS is http://lowendbox.com,

I've been using Linode since it was based in Nashville and mentioned on the
NLUG list. They've since moved their headquarters to suburban
Philadelphia but they're still rock solid.

I'm open to dedicated server, but cost is usually much higher or you
provide your own hardware. I'm open to doing this as storage is much less
expensive if you are providing it yourself, but it has other drawbacks.
I don't really care if I get hardware or a VM as I'm not doing anything

I have been using Digital Ocean for a couple of years now with no
complaints. I used RimuHosting for over a decade before that. Both are
great, but RimuHosting is more expensive because they offer premium support
as part of the basic service. It's only worth it if you actually need their
help.

I have 3 dedicated servers with hetzner.com. They're a German company with
data centers primarily in Germany and Finland. Their prices are pretty

I will reiterate my recommendation for lowendbox.com. Search for
"storage VPS", and you should be able to find some offerings with the
size that you want. I don't have a specific recommendation, as that's
more than I currently use. My largest VPS is only 250GB, for a
Nextcloud instance, and I'm
I'd suggest Digital Ocean, Google ComputeEngine VM, or Amazon Lightsail.
Any of those offer a solid product for cheap, depending on your needs.

If you care about anything free as in freedom related you'll avoid anything
by Amazon and Google.

I did look at Amazon and Google as well as others. I ultimately decided
on Greencloud VPS due to price and their offering. I was setup and running
within 15 minutes and have been happy with them since... though it has only
been a short time so far.
