I'm trying to find a cheap VPS for a small project. I don't want shared hosting because I need control over the server, but I also don't need anything serious.

The VPS will run a small web app. I mainly need Linux, SSD/NVMe storage, and enough RAM so the server doesn't constantly struggle. Monthly billing would be a plus.

Another question: are yearly deals worth it for cheap VPS plans, or is it better to pay monthly until I know the host is decent? Some offers look much cheaper yearly, but I’m not sure I want to lock myself in before testing the service.

I’d rather spend a little extra for the first month or two if that helps avoid getting stuck with a bad provider.
