What would you recommend then? Most affordable or free is preferred. Ease of set up is preferred as well.
Some VPS providers build it into their service. I’d look for a host that has DDoS mitigations built in. If you’re not sure if your host includes it, contact them and ask. Mine has it but doesn’t advertise it.
I currently pay for a VPS with game hosting.co, but been having serious internet and connectivity issues with them, most members cannot join, I even struggle most of the time. Have 0 issues when running on my PC.
