What cheap hoster to choose, giving bare metall based on desktop or used iron?

Question

Iron

Cheap, at the cost of reduced reliability , but connected to the normal networks of the data center, and not the home provider (otherwise I would have used this option). Preferably not Russia, or rather, completely reluctant to deal with absurd blocking. Let it not be the fastest machine, with 8GB of memory (not ecc).

I tried the option with vps, after 4GB of ram it’s not enough cheap or overselling not childishly, it immediately lets you know the base price tag that this is a server and using ecc.

Why iron? You can take a virtual machine with 100% guaranteed resources. Even the domestic Yandex.cloud offers this. No one will deceive you, for such a player there are reputational risks than cutting you off on the CPU;)
Virtual machines have the main advantage - flexibility. Let's say your neighbor changes his mind, and you will really need your own part of this piece of iron. What will you do? :)
