I host approximately 90+ concurrent users on a voice server and several web applications. The web applications are slightly less populated but still have a decent number of users. I’ve been considering a few Windows servers, but they were mostly out of stock or overpriced. Currently, I have a 6GB RAM and 3-core system. I’m looking for something more powerful with around 8-16GB RAM and 6-12 cores. My budget is around $65 per month. Once again, I need a Windows server with decent specifications and located in the US. I prefer unlimited network bandwidth since bandwidth rates can vary and sometimes become extremely high with the voice server.

Hi everyone,

I have a VPS via vultr, a small home lab server that is NOT capable of running local AI yet, and a NAS all connected via tailscale with all my other devices including my Homey smart home.

Right now I am expanding my freelance work, and have my projects to run. So I am thinking of moving all the projects of the freelance work to a dedicated separate server, a VPS is better due to limited space in my home office.

What I need consultation with is, is this a smart way to do it? Having two separate VPS for work? Will I be able to connect the two together? Will I have to install Coolify and Homarr and all the other things all over again in this new VPS?

Right now I am on the highest available upgrade with vultr, but I am thinking for this new VPS to move to one with higher capacities and a GPU for running local LLMs until i am able to upgrade my home lab.

I am a hobbyist, so not an expert, will truly appreciate any help i can get on this!

I'm based in mainland China and need a reliable setup for TikTok Live and Claude. Standard datacenter IPs—like the one on my current DMIT VPS—get flagged or blocked almost immediately.

I've tried chaining static residential proxies from providers like Proxy-Seller, but the experience has been rough. The connection drops constantly, and the IPs are clearly oversold and shared among multiple users, which triggers endless CAPTCHAs.
