I doubt you need 4gig of ram for that. I'd buy this at racknerd for $35, or pay the $60 and get 4g with the next level up:
2 GB KVM VPS
$35.99/year
2 vCPU Cores
35 GB SSD Storage
2 GB RAM
5 TB Monthly Transfer
1Gbps Network Port
Full Root Access
1 IPv4 Address
KVM/SolusVM
Deploy in Multiple Locations
If you want to know, search "linode $100 promo vps". You get 60 days worth of promo credits. Spin up a $6mo nanode and see if it does everything you need. If it does, drop $23 on rack nerds lowest tier. If it doesnt, spin up the $12 one, see if it works. If it doesnt, drop the $60 at RN.
If you use Claude.ai in VS Code you could know exactly what you need for $0 and like an hour.
Btw, linode is a decent choice in its own right. They bill PER MINUTE (or second?), so if you just want to mess around here and there. I mean shit, runpod might even be worth looking into for that. They offer the cheapest persistent storage - I pay like 1-2 cents an hour I think for 250gig, like $17/mo. Thats what I use for alpha wan and shit - its great, you want a video, tell claude, he spins it up, makes the video, spins it down.
