I pay around 10$ per month atm. But you need to factor in backups which I handle with my home server. Those can be acquired as cheap as 2$ a month I believe. It’s not expensive if you know where to look and dont mind making mistakes.
Comment on I rent a vps to run fediverse instances. Here's what I've found

Interesting read! Can I ask how much running this approximately costs?

That’s way less than what I pay to vultr for a less powerful VPS to host my own set of services (lemmy, gotosocial, gitea). I gotta find a cheaper host 🙃.

Check out serverhunter.com. They’re good. But keep an eye on backups.

I am also interested in the answer to this and which service the author is using.

I think I found them on serverhunter.com or similar. Just search for serverhunter and you should find many interesting offers. The important part is that a good backup procedure is more important than strong hardware.

Looking at DigitalOcean, a similar ish Droplet would be around $100/mo.
At Hetzner, a similar ish shared host would be around €30–40/mo, or dedicated for €50–60/mo.
Not sure where OP is hosting, but they may have gotten cheaper.
On Hetzner, if you go with OP’s recommendation of 2 vCPU, 8 GB of RAM, and do the storage add on for 100 GB of bulk storage, it’d be about €16/mo.

Some offer very low prices, HostHatch is one example. I’ve been using RamNode for years and while they’re a little more average for pricing, I’ve had no issues. Never used HostHatch, so maybe someone who has used it can comment on the quality of service.
