What cloud VPS host is the best for privacy and security? I want to self host stuff for myself some tools. Mental Outlaw make a video last year about self hosting your own VPN with a service called Vultr but back in December vultr added to their TOS that they own what you host and a bunch of other scary stuff. So I don’t trust Vultr anymore. I don’t see recommended vps hosts on privacyguides website. So what do you guys think I should use to self host various things like a VPN, Nextcloud, and so on.

    Electricity isn’t free and nor is your time, you are never going to beat commercial VPS hosters on price.

      Looking at my bills, my cluster server costs me ~15€ per month in electricity.

      It has:

      • 4x6 arm cores
      • 4x6 GB RAM
      • 8TB HDD storage
      • 3TB nvme storage

      As soon as you link me a VPS offer with comparable specs, but lower monthly cost, I am switching.
