For someone new to self hosting can you recommend cheap VPS to try simple things with? Can pay by hour like some cloud servers let you do or pay full month in advance.

    I have several low-cost cloud VPS, all claiming that they will not raise the rate, and so far the rates have stayed the same. I don’t know how they do it, and I really don’t care. All the systems I am using came with 1 static IPv4 address. A couple also came with IPv6 addresses which I have not setup.

    One bills me $1/mo, and gives me a 1Gb network interface with unmetered traffic. I have been running more then 5TB/mo through it, for months now, without any complaints.

    Best non-oracle deal I grabbed was a 2 core AMD64, 3GB RAM and 25GB SSD VPS for $13.69/year. I am running a remote Debian desktop on it and using it as a VPN server. They said they will never raise the renewal rate, but they did limited it to 1 VPS per-person, and said it was a one time offer.
