$10 for 8 cores, 24 GB RAM, and 420 GB NVMe—what more could you possibly want?! (To be fair, their self-developed panel is really awkward to use.)

When I first got in, there were way too many mjj crowding it, but it has finally settled down and is now very comfortable.

5. Advin Servers (€24)#

Although this provider has a consistently poor reputation, it’s honestly hard to ignore how cheap and generous they are. They’ve recently rolled out AMD EPYC 9554 as well. With this CPU at this price point, I personally think it’s pretty decent. As for whether this is a “hearst” box, that’s up to you—I’m not going to actively recommend it.
