Cheap VPS
This slice holds every virtual server under twelve dollars a month. The threshold is where the «small site, bot or VPN» tier ends and machines built for real load begin.
Cheap does not mean bad, but check three things: how much memory you actually get (1–2 GB is enough for a Linux site, Windows needs four times that), whether the promised traffic runs out, and whether the price is promotional — with some providers it rises on renewal.
