I'm on Freedom Mobile in Canada and my data is so cheap I didn't even know roaming caps were still a thing people worried about. Is this an EU-specific pain point?

Same. I measured the room, forgot the stairs entirely.

Same, I got in on the typo too

Could I ask what "semi-dedicated" means? I thought dedicated server was like $100+ a month so how is it semi?

Also wilma if you go with shared make sure they dont charge extra for SSL. Some hosts still do that and its so annoying.

Thank you everyone for explaining so much!

Sorry if this is a dumb question!!

But what is RPKI?? I googled it but the cloudflare page was confusing. Is it like SSL but for routing??

Also does anyone know if KnownHost is good for a first VPS?? I just need to host a minecraft server for me and 3 friends. My budget is like $6/month max.

Signed up for the 2GB plan, provisioning now. Fingers crossed.

CS student in Ottawa. I paid Namecheap renewal March 2026. $10.28 CAD with their forever coupon. Works out to ~$7.50 USD? No wait, $10.28 CAD is about $7.50 USD but they bill in USD so maybe I misremember. Let me check statement.

Oh wow thanks for testing that olya. 31 hours average is... not what I pictured when I read 24/7.

Sorry for the...

Does this mean if I get an arm vps I cant just apt install nodejs and have it work? I was looking at the cheap ampere ones on RackNerd for my portfolio site but I only know basic ubuntu stuff.

Also is 2 cores enough for like maybe 100 visitors a day? Thanks everyone!

Your friends with only IPv6 are gonna have a bad time. The tunnel workaround tomchan posted is for outgoing, not hosting. You'd need them to have IPv4 or use a relay.
