Self-Hosted Main

Hello! I currently use GreenCloud for some cheap ($15/yr, 1c, 2GB, 25GB) VPSs. They have been great but I have a new idea in my head that they don't currently support. I'm looking for either a VPS or dedicated server provider that can provide the following:

• 2 different US locations each within ~8hrs of Cleveland (Chicago, Ashburn, NYC)
• 2 servers/VPSs with at least 4 threads, 8GB of memory, 256GB of storage, 1 Gbps port speed, and 50GB of monthly bandwith
• $50/mo or less total (can prepaid for multiple months to meet the budget)
• Support for ESXi 8.0u2

I know that it's a little optimistic but I've seen some offers that were really close which makes me think this might exist (dedicated.com with $25/mo servers just not quite new enough to run ESXi 8.0u2).

For anyone curious of the project, I got my hands on some Palo Alto VM series firewall licenses that I was thinking about running as GlobalProtect gateways. They would have IPsec tunnels back to the lab for internal access but highspeed connections for Internet bound traffic that my house does not have (35Mbps upload, TY Spectrum). The issue is that the licensing is locked to the VM UUID so I want to run ESXi to control the UUID and hopfully keep the licensing from expiring prematurely.

Thanks in advance!
