Looking for VPS for Dockerized ElasticStack (currently on DigitalOcean)

Seeking Recommendations

I’m currently running several services in Docker containers on a DigitalOcean droplet. I’m paying $84/month for the following specs:

  • 4 vCPUs
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 160 GB SSD
  • 8 TB transfer

Most of the services I run are part of the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, APM) and are used to monitor the APIs of my project.

I’m now looking for a provider with better cost-benefit, and I’ve been considering Hetzner and Server Optima as alternatives.

My main concern is about data transfer limits. Hetzner offers 3 TB of traffic, which seems a bit low for my use case, since I’m specifically looking for a US-based server.

Would 3 TB be enough for running Elastic Stack with moderate-to-heavy usage on monitored APIs? Has anyone here had experience with either provider?

Any recommendations or insights would be highly appreciated!
