My main use currently is a modded Minecraft server. But I want a VPS over one of those Minecraft host specifically because I plan on messing around with docker containers later and hosting my own Lemmy instance. Currently I have an openVZ server from TNA hosting because it was like $50 a year. But it's not powerful enough for the Minecraft modpack.

So what VPS provider would you lot recommend?

For Minecraft plus some docker stuff, I'd skip OpenVZ and go for KVM.

For Minecraft plus some docker stuff, I'd skip OpenVZ and go for KVM. I've been running mine on mvps.net for a while now, their basic plans are cheap, and you get instant setup in multiple EU locations. The performance jump compared to budget OpenVZ is night and day.
