For someone new to self hosting can you recommend cheap VPS to try simple things with? Can pay by hour like some cloud servers let you do or pay full month in advance.

What can you even do with such low specs? What's the use case?

Headscale/nebula server. Something In the cloud to help NAT punch — nginx reverse proxy. I’m looking to leverage my home servers as if they were in the cloud for as little as possible.
