@charliebrownau @djsumdog @Paultron Sounds not bad at all.
One big problem I'm having with VPS's in general is that they all are either big tech, or use Goolag's reCAPTCHA, or are Cuckflared, but those who provide an API are more fine because it allows you to make your own UI for them, and you won't have to deal with the latter 2 problems.

ConoHa (https://www.conoha.jp/conoha/) doesn't use Cuckflare, but they're part of GMO, which is one of Japanese big tech corpoes, and they shill for SDGs very hard.

Some others that don't use Cuckflare and also isn't Jewed is Sakura Cloud (https://vps.sakura.ad.jp/).
Or get yourself a cheapo static IP address and host your physical server from home, so you have unlimited bandwidth and easily upgradable storage at no additional cost.
Or put it into a datacenter if you have the money.
