You've side projects, you want to host them for cheap.<p>These can be auxiliary services like issue tracker, git repo hosting service etc...<p>Where do you get those famous $1 or $2 a month servers from?
I use OVH VPSs for simple projects as their service is cheap but reliable. Been using them for many years without a hitch. I've also got a dedicated server with SoYouStart which is a connected company to OVH.
I usually use Scaleway for VPSs or Dedicated for selfhosting, since their offerings usually have more cores than competing ones while having more or less the same amount of memory
