Top match Virtual server (VPS) Over your budget

AWS Lightsail

≈$12/mo Small

2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 60 GB SSD, 3 TB transfer.

Free option: 90-day free trial (750 hours/month) on the $5–$12 Linux bundles and the $15 database. New AWS accounts get $100 in credits immediately and can earn another $100. The Free plan lasts up to six months.
Why it fits: Projects that want predictable AWS — a fixed-price server with a clear upgrade path into the wider AWS ecosystem.
How deploys work: Pick a blueprint (WordPress, LAMP, Node.js, plain Linux), get SSH in the browser or your terminal, and manage it like any VPS.
The tradeoff: Costs more per spec than the European VPS crowd, and stopped instances keep billing.

Option 2 Virtual server (VPS) Over your budget

Scaleway Instances

≈€25.65/mo PLAY2-NANO + IPv4 + 20 GB volume

~€20.10 instance (2 shared vCPU, 4 GB RAM) + €3.65 IPv4 + ~€1.90 block storage.

Why it fits: EU projects that want real cloud ergonomics — hourly billing, CLI, Terraform, managed databases — without a US hyperscaler.
How deploys work: Spin up an instance from the console or the scw CLI, then manage it like any VPS; Terraform and cloud-init are first-class.
The tradeoff: À la carte pricing makes the real cost higher than the sticker, and account verification can be painful.
