If you just want a cheap virtual private server (VPS) to host your own stuff on
(ie you manage running the daemons to provide whatever services you want),
take a look at:
https://lowendbox.com/
https://lowendtalk.com/
https://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=104

You'll pay, but some are few dollars a month/year.  As regards traffic,
policies vary but I expect some will throttle when you reach your cap.

Do consider some kind of AI bot blocking, as this consumes a big chunk of
traffic and CPU time nowadays.
