> I can rent unlimited 250mbit servers for 14 euros a month from Scaleway. If we're looking only at egress, we can even find cheaper alternatives. OVH, for example, offers VPS' with 500Mbps unlimited for 10 euros a month, 1Gbps for 20 euros, etc.

    My apologies. I meant Scaleway. I was looking more for the k8s integration.

      Ah. Ok. There's this: https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/kubernetes/ https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/kubernetes/ Though I don't know how well it compares.

  There's two locations in the US (only available via the US website/OVHcloud - I think) and at least one in Canada.

  There are VPS providers in the US that offer unmetered bandwidth. One quick example I could think of was Hostgator. https://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting https://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting

      I'm not sure where that quote comes from (its usually useful to provide a link to what you're quoting) but their VPS ToS does not list any network limits. As long as you're not 2x overloading the CPU on your VPS for more than 15min average it looks like you really do have unlimited bandwidth. I'm wondering if you were looking at their Shared Hosting? https://www.hostgator.com/tos/vps-tos https://www.hostgator.com/tos/vps-tos VPS accounts may not: exceed a 15 minute load average greater than two (2) times the amount of CPU cores given. run public IRCd's or malicious bots. run any type of BitTorrent client or tracker that links to or downloads illegal content. use an Open/Public proxy, or utilize a proxy to access illegal/malicious content. se I/O intensive applications which adversely affect normal server operations. I do see they have a bit of a vague way of getting out of hosting you if you're really being excessive on the network throughput. It largely sounds like as long as your network usage isn't causing other customer impacts its still unlimited. I imagine even OVH or any other hosting service will have similar terminology along the lines of any usage that negatively impacts other customers is prohibited. https://www.hostgator.com/tos/acceptable-use-policy https://www.hostgator.com/tos/acceptable-use-policy You may not consume excessive amounts of server or network resources or use the Services in any way which results in server performance issues or which interrupts service for other customers.

I have a small Hetzner Cloud VPS with 20TB egress 100Mbps included for about 3€/month. The prices for new instances got up a few weeks ago, because of IPv4 prices, but they are still about 4€. It's not unlimited, but 20TB is more than enough for the most use cases.
