Ask HN: Cheap Linux VM hosting for running small personal cron jobs?

Digital Ocean and Linode are good services. Scaleway started with ARM servers but now offers x86-based servers at a very low price point. Unlimited bandwidth too. I've also used vultr.com. As @eulid55 says, lowendbox.com is a good resource, but some would consider offerings there a bit TOO low-end. Your mileage may vary.

Others that come to mind are OVH and online.net. If you really just need shell access, sdf.org is a possibility.

Try https://lowendbox.com/

At vultr.com you can get $2.5 VPS. Pretty cheap.

GCE has a free tier.
