What VPS do you use for this?
If you want something cheap check out RackNerd yearly deals. Last I checked they still have listings for black Friday and other old deals once you've made an account. I got a server for like $12 a year with 5tb monthly bandwidth. I have 3 servers total with them and haven't had a problem for the 3 years I've been using them.
That would be awesome, currently it's 500GB for their cheaper option which starts at 23/year. I didn't find an option to increase the bandwidth before completing the order. Also it needs to be deployed in NY (which would be possibly slow for me in Europe). Finally their isos are somewhat old, the latest Ubuntu they have is 20.04 (which has an EoL next year).
All that being said, 23/year is very cheap for a VPS, and for people in the US that use less than 500GB/month that's the best deal I've ever seen.
There should be more deals when you click add services.
Understand on the latency possibly being an issue. I did see they have servers in France now. Maybe you could do some ping tests.
Thanks, I'm checking that out, but can't find any "add services" button. Alsp someone mentioned IONOS, which is local to me and doesn't seem to have bandwidth limits... I was trying to find the poop and they require lots of personal info just to get the account setup, still a bit torn there.
I am using the smallest tier VPS from IONOS for 1€/month. Good, reliable and trustworthy as it is a subsidiary of 1&1 telecommunications.
