Cheapest hourly IPv4 VPS for experiments?
I have an exotic usecase where I can't use a NAT'ed machine like Tierhive - I need an extravagant entire IPv4 address. I'd prefer hourly, or low (€1) monthly fee without setup costs.
Specs:
1 GB RAM
1 vCPU
10 GB NVME
1 IPv4
What's the cheapest non-black-friday way to get a VPS with 1 IPv4 to play with?

Probably Ionos at that amount per month. There are deals from other providers that can go with that as well but are usually on the yearly mark (so 12 USD/year)
AWS. You get free credits to use to setup a VPS as per your needs.

It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!
Not sure about the cheapest, but Hetzner is pretty cheap. And they charge hourly with no setup fees, including IPv4.
2 CPU / 4 GB RAM / 40 GB NVMe is the cheapest listed right now at €0.0056/h inc. IPv4.
Ovh is €0.009 p/hour if you make your own cloud.

Thanks everyone. Now I can play with Pangolin.net

I ended up going with Hetzner, even though the advertised €3.49 turned into €4.36 at checkout....
The cheapest I found was actually Scaleway STARDUST1-S at €0.1/month charged HOURLY at €0.00015 !! For 1GB/1vCPU/10GB. But of course an IPv4 is like €4 extra per month...
Hetzner is quite good choice here, as you can easily shutdown the vm at any time, make a very cheap snapshot of it and then delete.
even if you also remove the IPv4 with it, but recreate the vm from snapshot within seven days or so, you will get the same IP back and re-assigned.
while this is more likely their way of protecting themselves against people burning through IPs with abuse, in this case it is a nice feature to make for an even easier, cheap playground ;-)
i would say possible to get around 6-7 euro month. dont expect much bw dedicated.

Oracle free tier should give you 4 of those. Actually maybe 6...think its 4 ARM, 2 x86. Google same though think theirs is only 0.5gb mem
Don't put anything you care about on oracle. They love randomly nuking free accounts for some people and others they leave in peace for years.
Hello! Somik from "my oracle free account got nuked" group here
My friends, who created their accounts at the same time as me, are still using their account. It was back in 2022 so I hope they fixed the aggressive account flagging by now. And before you ask, I signed up with my real details and used it for a school project.

Yeah there seems to be no rhyme or reason
Prevailing theories are that non-prepaid card & converting it to a paid account helps. Wouldn't be surprised if your billing address also matters re rich/poor countries
The only issue is that there is no way to reopen the account once it gets nuked. Meaning it's literally once in a lifetime chance
