VPS hosting

Unmanaged Linux VMs you administer yourself.

A VPS — virtual private server — is the most flexible and usually the cheapest hosting tier. You get a Linux box with root access; you install everything else. For an indie SaaS that's comfortable with a Docker Compose file or a self-hosted PaaS like Coolify, a $5–10/mo VPS will run circles around a $50/mo PaaS bill.
