I am thinking of buying a VPS because I want to host some projects on it. I need it to be able to run Linux and must have a great amount of bandwidth (around ~150GB monthly). At least 2GB ram and 50GB Storage. What is your personal recommendation? And it would also be nice if it isn’t expensive.

I am somewhere around Germany.

Edit 1: Thanks to you all, I’ve decided to go with Hetzner as it was the best deal out of all and according to people recommending it, it has excellent uptime.

      I recently found out that a “client” of mine (not really a client, just some people I did a favor to) had a forgotten machine with more than 3 years of uptime on Hetzner. That’s quite the achievement!

      Edit: I might add, serving a Wordpress website, still working, unhacked despite minimal configuration. We only found out because MySQL crashed and the machine had to be rebooted.

      Hetzner is absolutely amazing. I’ve had physical servers in their German data centers for years and the few times I’ve had problems, their support was amazingly fast and helpful.

      Currently I have two servers there. One AX41-NVMe for applications and an older one from their server auction with 2x 4 TB HDD for storage.

      Came here to say the same. Hetzner gives good services for the price. My experience with the VPS is that I set it once and it just works with 1.5 year of uptime now. What I really love is that if you need bigger storage but not necessarily fast, you can get storage box for like €4 per 1TB and connect it to your machine with CIFS/SFTP/WebDAV. It works perfectly for my Nextcloud files, while everything else is on fast SSD.

        Worth mentioning it makes sense the best if you’re in Europe. Not so much if you’re far away from Germany/Finland and want to have lowest latency possible

      Thanks. Took a look at Hetzner and other VPS services, their prices really are reasonable. I most likely will go with Hetzner after waiting for some more recommendations to see if there’s a service that can compete with Hetzner.
