The best cheap servers for self-hosting
Which server to rent for Coolify, Docker, Nextcloud, Immich or a home-lab replacement, with live prices for VPS and small dedicated machines.
As of , the cheapest in-stock server with 4+ cores and 8 GB+ RAM is the E3-1230 v2 / 32GB / 500GB SSD / 1Gbps / 1Gbps Commit from Psychz Networks at €5.33/mo in Los Angeles. Next: the E3-1241 v3 / 16GB / 1TB HDD / 1Gbps / 1Gbps Commit from Psychz Networks at €7.82/mo in Atlanta. 4,896 matching servers are in stock across all providers (prices excl. VAT).
For a handful of self-hosted apps behind Coolify, Dokploy or plain Docker Compose, 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM is a comfortable start. Photo libraries and media servers want more disk; anything with a database wants NVMe.

A small dedicated or auction server often costs about the same as a mid-size VPS, but you get the whole machine, real disks and usually unmetered traffic.
