Nacsshost is a VDS provider located in Turkey. Currently they are not providing any further information, so be careful when you are purchasing. They use PayTR as their payment gateway, just like most Turkish merchants would do. They only supports Credit Card/Debit Card payment with 3D-Secure. So no PayPal whatsoever. But your credit card info is still safe since PayTR is widely used. I bought the VDS #3 Bundle, cost $2.

Gullo is a one-man virtual server provider. Further information is unknown. They didn’t provide any information, so be careful when buying their services, I’ve seen their offers in the forum LowEndTalk, so I’ve ordered a few months ago (March 2022). The setup is really bad. 1 ancient Xeon CPU, 256 MB DDR3 RAM, 5 GB HDD… For $10 bucks, please no… Well, bench.sh is here anyways. Australia location, please don’t buy it.

Interserver is an ancient cloud service provider which is established back in 1999! So the reliability is ensured. Their Storage VPS is famously known as the best in the LowEndTalk forum. Yesterday (Aug. 3, 2022) was a guy in the LET forum’s birthday. The Interserver guy has posted a coupon code to celebrate his birthday—code happybirthdaylala. It is a 50% off recurring discount, which is very sweet. I’ve bought one Storage VPS.
Kuroit has been a British-established hosting provider since 2018. They initially provide virtual hosting which only allows users to upload their website to servers. But now things changed.

They provide two data centers now and one is located in Los Angeles, US; the other is located in London, UK.
To be clear, I am poor. So the only thing I can do is to install Hackintosh to my ancient Compotato (Computer + Potato cuz it’s even “sicker” than Ubisoft’s server XD). Here’s my neofetch. Just for lol. Time Machine & Homebrew absolutely slain Windows.
There’s a saying in hosting world: Azure, AWS, GCP are the big three; Linode, Vultr, DigitalOcean are the small three. DigitalOcean has officially go up on market (NYSE: DOCN), they are reliable as fuck. Moreover, the generously provided students with $100 credit for one year, that’s a good way to let students learn about cloud computing and start their own projects. No bullshit, I have opened an Droplet (in DigitalOcean, a droplet stands for a virtual machine.
