I was searching this thread for an alternative to dreamhost which has unlimited monthly traffic. I found this Black Friday link from a year ago which still works!

Do I need unlimited? Probably not, but I was worried about going over.

      Can someone provide some use cases for this? Curious how I can extend my homelab via this.

        I use one of these VMs for two things. Monitoring my network back home using Uptime Kuma and Tailscale. As well as as a Tailscale exit node (essentially a VPN).

    Should be worth mentioning that a VPS is a shared instance in terms of CPU use. Hosting heavy things on it will only slow you down.

    Wireguard tunnels and the like though should be good!

      I have a cheap vos from them for the last 10 months. If you want something reliable, this isn’t it. For example: in the last 3 weeks, the vps was rebooted 4 times. And when that happens, the vps is down for about 10 minutes before starting up again.

      It not a problem for me, since it’s so cheap. Hope this info helps

    ionos has a low tier starting at 2€/month for 10GB storage, 500 MB ram, 100 Mbit unlimited traffic.

    I don’t know if they had any black Friday sales, that is just their base offering. I am very happy with the server I have.
