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’ve been using oracle free to host a Minecraft server for like 9 months. Can’t complain.

      They don’t like you running the server at 100% for extended periods of time though if I’m remembering correctly.

      I think it’s the other way around. I’ve been hosting a bunch of service on mine, which I accessed daily. Even SSH’d to it daily and I got flagged for inactivity because of low CPU activity.

      Now I run some bogus CPU intensive task 24/7 and haven’t heard back since.
