A curated selection: Hosting budget on Linux with DDoS protection. We picked providers matching these criteria and sorted them by rating, uptime and real reviews.
What matters about this combination of criteria: Budget plans suit small projects with no overpaying. Linux is a stable, free foundation for most sites and applications. DDoS protection filters attack traffic before it reaches the server.
Bottom line: for most projects in Ukraine the ideal VPS means NVMe storage, 99.9%+ uptime, a convenient panel and support in your language. Start with the ranking leaders above and compare them side by side.

Frequently asked questions
A low price isn't always bad. For a blog or landing page, a budget server (1–2 GB RAM, NVMe) is plenty. The key is to check uptime and support availability, not just price.
Low cost comes from the location (cheaper data centre rent), denser client packing or the absence of managed services. That's fine for small projects, but verify the virtualization type.
Linux is free, stable, secure and light on resources. Over 90% of the world's sites run on Linux, so all web technologies are optimized for it.
Ubuntu — most beginner-friendly with lots of documentation. Debian — maximally stable. AlmaLinux/Rocky — a CentOS replacement for those used to the RHEL ecosystem.
Traffic passes through a filtering system that blocks attack packets before they reach the server. There's network-level (L3/L4 — volumetric attacks) and application-level (L7 — HTTP-flood).
It depends on the provider: basic protection usually covers attacks up to 10–100 Gbps. Stronger attacks need premium protection (Cloudflare, Stormwall) as a separate service.
Псоледнее время начал портится, проблемы с почтой, урезают предоставляемый функционал. Советую подумать перед тем как подключатся. Долго ими пользовался, все было супер, но щас начали портится.
