I've been using a $20/month VPS since 2008 (USD).  Nowadays it's
up to 2 cores, 4GB RAM which is more than I need but I keep
getting upgrades without paying more.  Multiple cores definitely
helps, though; especially with SpamAssassin and incoming mail.

I don't give commercial endorsements, but dig/traceroute should
give you info about where it's hosted.  If you're mirroring
lists I host, I prefer you host it elsewhere to avoid putting
too much dependency on a single provider or datacenter.

Process setup is:

public-inbox-httpd -> varnish -> yet-another-horribly-named-server (HTTP/HTTPS)
                             \
			      >- tor (.onion)
public-inbox-nntpd ----------/
                   \
		    `--------(NNTP port 119)

yet-another-horribly-named-server is an experimental GPL-3 Ruby
server which does HTTPS termination and hosts some other Ruby
stuff on the same IP (different vhost).  nginx is a more common
replacement and recommended for most sites :)

public-inbox-nntpd should learn TLS anyways, so doing HTTPS from
public-inbox-httpd won't be far off, either.  Making varnish
unnecessary is another goal, but could be tougher...
