My main use currently is a modded Minecraft server. But I want a VPS over one of those Minecraft host specifically because I plan on messing around with docker containers later and hosting my own Lemmy instance. Currently I have an openVZ server from TNA hosting because it was like $50 a year. But it's not powerful enough for the Minecraft modpack.

So what VPS provider would you lot recommend?

Aren’t you partially not in control? If that hardware gets nuked some how then you’re compromised

True, but you'd still have a lot more control over your stuff than say, some Microsoft or Google product

Sure, but with proper backups, you can be up and running somewhere else quickly, minutes even if you script it.

I mostly use it to get around CGNAT, but it totally makes sense for something that needs to be externally available anyway, like a Minecraft server.
