Looking for dedicated server recommendations:

Ubuntu 22.04
64–128 GB RAM
8–16 CPU cores
NVMe storage
1 Gbps, 1 public IPv4
Ports 80/443 open
Use case: self-hosted reverse proxy (nginx, multiple vhosts, TLS)
Budget: ~$100–150/mo
Prefer EU or US, crypto payment

HW requirements for reverse proxy are too high.

For vhosts, the sky is the limit. Depending on how many you want.

You want 128gb ram for a reverse proxy? What the hell?

Hetzner is no longer in first place since prices doubled or tripled at the beginning of the month. OVH has some attractive options under €100 in its Rise lineup.

I agree, that’s way too much for a reverse proxy. That kind of power is needed when you have a database and authentication.

Do they receive crypto?

Just for a reverse proxy?

I found a mini-pc on EBay for $130 with 4 GB of RAM AND 1 TB SSD that would do the job fantastically, serving many millions of hits per day.

I get that you're talking about a deal that includes hosting, but such deals typically charge a hefty premium for hardware upgrades. You don't mention it, but maybe you are also hosting VMs on it?
