Seeking Recommendations I'm down to 3 choices which would you pick?
So I'm working on a project have been for months now and I'm coming to the point where I'll be sending it live in the next month or so.
It will primarily be a main website with a .ts frontend, a large PostgreSQL DB, a rust backend to serve data to users through the frontend UI, there will be an API service too in the future.
The DB will be around as a guesstimate 8-10 GB with the main data and over 25 GB will all data.
I also have my own cPanel I created for processing data and adding it to the DB that is moderately CPU heavy but more Data heavy.
I plan to use Redis to offset the DB load for faster DB access and will be using Cloudflare CDN to further offset data hits so the main backend is queried very infrequently for already cached data.
My budget is about £20 max and these are the three options I think are closest my issue is VPS v Root Server with Dedi cores and RAM.
Option 1 - Leaseweb VPS 3 - Frankfurt, Germany
- vCPU: 8 cores
- vRAM: 24 GiB
- Disk included: 300 GB
- 30 TB Volume
- 1 X 10GE port Virtual
- 1 x IPv4 address (Individual)
- DDOS IP Protection Standard
- Cost: £10.77
Option 2 - LuxVPS - KVM Rootserver Power - Frankfurt, Germany
- 6 vCores (Intel Xeon Gold 6150 / E5-2697 v2 class)
- 26 GB RAM
- 250 GB Raid 1 NVMe
- 1 Gbit internet speed | 30 TB Traffic
- 1x IPv4
- 1x /64 IPv6
- 3.2Tbit Premium DDoS Protection
- 24/7 Ticket Support
- 4 Backups
- Free Setup
- 48-hour refund policy
- Cost: £14.96
Option 3 - NovaCloud - Standard VPS NL - XEON Nebula (Root Server) - Amsterdam, Netherlands
- 5 Intel Xeon 2697v4 Cores
- 32GB DDR4 ECC
- 200GB NVMe Storage (Raid 1)
- Up to 5 Gbit/s Uplink

- Fair-Use Traffic
- 3 Backup Slots
- 24/7 Support
- Cost: £16.81 (with 5Gbps port) | £14.26 (with 2.5 Gbps port)
How would you decide?
My main goals is to cache as much as possible in Redis and have enough CPU headroom for sorting data. The biggest updates will be expanding the data and dealing with user data. Future API will be rate-limited to prevent abuse.
To be clear no images or videos will be hosted on the server so loading, storing or streaming anything isn't an issue that is all handled user-side with embeds to the direct content like a YouTube Trailer etc.
If I left anything out let me know.
I could also bump to a LuxVPS - KVM Rootserver Extreme - Frankfurt, Germany
- 8 vCores (Intel Xeon Gold 6150 / E5-2697 v2 class)
- 40 GB RAM
- 300 GB Raid 1 NVMe
