No idea why you're being downvoted. I've bought el cheapo LowEndTalk-style VPS specials on two or three occasions and have gotten what I paid for each time. They either sold a microscopic slice of some over-provisioned 15-year-old POS or outright lied to me about specs then argued until I did a chargeback to recover my money.

For app hosting I'd either 1) use cloudflared and a cheap Lenovo Tiny box to host from my house, 2) write something serverless that runs on Cloudflare Workers, or 3) use a real host that isn't 18 months old and run by hucksters in a race to the bottom.

I’ve been using super cheap VPS just for the public static IP. They reverse proxy straight into my homelab.

The wireguard tunnels haven’t gone down after years of no maintenance use.
