which VPS do you recommend?
I want to selfhost my own personal website. This is just for fun, as a hobby and to show off my skills to others. nothing big.
I have my own server home but I want to have something that's separate from my personal stuff.
I do not need any support, meaning it can be as cheap as possible. I do not yet know how much RAM or CPU or storage I need. I guess CPU > 2GHz and 2GB RAM should be enough to start.
daily/weekly backup with rsync in case the hoster goes out of business.
I do not need a domain, I will use a dynamic dns hoster.

Oracle free vps. I run it for wireguard tunnel to circumvent CGNAT on my home connection. Shit company, yes, but works well for over a year. I run Ubuntu server on the VPS.
Yeah, those may work. Since you’ve one how does it look like? Are there blocked ports line SMTP? Are the IP good / aren’t blacklisted everywhere already? Thanks.
I was able to open any ports in NAT settings on my router and get access to my network. One day they pit me behind CGNAT. Wo i did the Wireguard tunnel connecting my tiny client ubuntu with outside VPS. Works like a charm. My operator can go screw themselves. I changed my DNS records to Cloudflare on my domain and pointed CF to my VPS server IP. So I can run everything through my domain.
Great, but what services are you hosting ? What ports you need?
Adguard Home DNS, Jellyfin, Gitea, Webmin, webmail, LibreSpeed, SSH access, Wanderer (trail database), Portainer, Apache2 web server and most likely more.
So, looks like tons of HTTP services and SSH.
Can you explain how to do it?
I've registered recently but cant spin up a vm because its full on my region.
What caveat should i aware of when using this service?
And what instance do you choose?
Thanks :D
My server is in Europe somewhere, I run Ubuntu server. Caveats... Doesn't run on a gigiabit connection, but that is honestly not necessary. Once I got notification, that free instances are stopped when not in use for some time. After that they stopped it, I started it again and after that it just runs all the time.
