Need suggestions for VPS (lemmy.sdf.org)

I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.

I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.

I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.

Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.

I got notification from them that they will stop unused machine. I've just rebooted and didn't get anything for a few months now

A big point of confusion that keeps happening in relation to OCI is that there's actually two "tiers" of free, and one of the two is subject to resources vanishing.

If you convert to a pay-as-you-go account, all that shit stops, and you're treated as an actual customer while keeping all the free tier stuff.

I suppose you could get hit with a surprise bill if you're not careful and use things that have a free tier and then convert to billing (example: you exceed your object storage free amount), but if you don't use anything outside of the compute resources, it's just as good without the resource reclamation stuff.

I think I've tried to switch to pay as you go, but they wanted to reserve $100+, so I said no. And didn't have any bugging restarts or anything.
