That’s crazy cheap price. Does it really have enough bandwidth to stream jellyfin?

Most VPS are on 1Gbps connections, but even if it only has 100Mbps that’s plenty.

Is there a data cap? I’m concerned like they only allow me to pass through like a TB or so of data passing through it within a month. If you have users watching your jellyfin server every day that can surpass your limit.

Yes generally around 1TB on cheap plans. That’s a ton of data though for streaming media, if youre moving more than that getting a higher tier VPS would make sense.

Keep in mind that you wouldn’t route local traffic through it, so everything watched at home would be direct and not count.
I have a $5/mo VPS with OVH and they allow unlimited bandwidth within reason. Unless you have multiple households streaming from your server all the time, likely totally fine. If you do end up with one relative streaming 24x7, then I would look at installing the tailscale app on their TV and configuring things to connect that one user direct to your home server.
A VPS takes some learning, but IMHO, it is the “correct” answer and worthile learning.

Yes. (Depending on load) I run a server with 10 users, probably 2-3 active at any given time. Works fine.
