The minimum hardware specs that would make moving the server worthwhile is 16 CPUs and 32 GB RAM. To get an idea of the range of pricing:
- Linode 32 GB: $240/month https://www.linode.com/pricing/#compute-dedicated https://web.archive.org/web/20220207055603/https://www.linode.com/pricing/#c...
- Azure F16s v2: $292/month (1 year reserved) https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/linux/ https://web.archive.org/web/20220215193358/https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us...
- Hetzner CCX42: €166/month = $189/month https://www.hetzner.com/cloud https://web.archive.org/web/20220214145505/https://www.hetzner.com/cloud
It looks cheaper to get a dedicated server from hetzner, and they don't charge for the traffic (for 1GB/s links). For example this one of AMD with 32 cores: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax101 Or this one with a Xeon of 18 cores: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/px93 Both of them are €129.71/month + HD.
I haven't explored other options, but I think OVH and others will have similar options.
