Hi everyone,
I’m trying to find an unmanaged VPS with a monthly billing option that’s around $5-8 USD. I don’t need anything fancy, just full root access and monthly payment.
I signed up with Hetzner but haven’t received any email with my client ID or number, even though my email is verified. I also can’t reset my password just with my email.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
If you’re looking for hosting options, you could check out the hosting providers recommended here on the forum or look at the lists available on the sidebar. Updating your post to include a few more details about your needs might also help others assist you.
Head over to https://console.hetzner.cloud.
If you’ve already verified your email, you should be able to log in with the password you set up.
Hetzner or Contabo are likely your best options.
Digital Ocean and Vultr are solid choices if you’re still looking.

Thanks! I’ll check them out.
Which country are you in? Netcup offers a VPS for €1 per month (1 core, 1 GB RAM, 30 GB SSD) but it’s only available in Germany. Other options start at around €3.35 and they also offer servers in the USA.
Akamai Cloud (formerly Linode) has a Nanode plan with scheduled rolling backups for $7 per month.
Hi! It sounds like you didn’t receive the confirmation email for your Hetzner account. If you want, you can send me a DM with the email you used, and I can ask my colleague to check the account status for you. --Katie
Oracle Cloud offers a free tier if you’re interested: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/.
I’ve been using a couple of VPSs from mvps.net since Dec 2023 without any issues. Mostly for testing and playing around with control panels.
Check out Oracle Cloud’s free tier.

I’d be cautious with Oracle. They’ve had issues with bait-and-switch tactics, and their ‘free VPS’ isn’t always as free as it seems.
