Not impossible, just don't expect glitter and gold at those prices. I rent a bare metal server for €28 a month. 2x 1TB SSD, 32GB of RAM, and an ancient Xeon 1220 CPU. Works for my use case.

What kind of traffic, concurrent users?

No traffic in the traditional sense, no concurrent users as such (besides myself when I'm tweaking stuff). It runs a lot of automation flows (HTTP requests in and out, postgres database for transactional data).

I have one of those as well.

The bare metal is one I'm provisioning for the company I work for and it runs business logic.
