Hey all

What VPS providers (EU) would you guys recommend, or use, for casually hosting some game servers, and maybe a matrix instance?

I’m thinking of using docker to manage a valheim server and a minecraft server, one or both running 24/7, and over servers/services that could be spun up, when we want to use them.

Currently I am looking at Hetzner with their CAX21 package (8 gb ram, 4 vCPU), but am a little uncertain about billing. Is it correctly understood that, you can’t accidentally overuse ressources, and are kept under the monthly price cap? I have used Linode before, but the Hetzner deal caught my eye.

I look forward to hearing about your guys recommendations and advice

    Personally I use a Contabo VPS M - there I can’t overuse anything and just get billed a flat amount every month.

    I assume Hetzner would be the same, especially if they just list a price per month, and possibly more favorable depending on your location.

    My Contabo VPS is hosted in Nürnberg, which is close to me, but depending on where you are you might have a better experience if the server is closer to your physical location.

    Netcup is usually my choice. They have pretty good discounts on each first Tuesday of the month (see here).

    If you use the CAX21 from Hetzner make sure the software you want to run support ARM. (otherwise CX are x86)
