Dear Jonathan,
I have taken a look at the Linode Cloud Essential Compute plans.
https://www.linode.com/pricing/?utm_medium=website&utm_source=akamai#compute-essential
To meet the minimum requirements for Zabbix, I need to choose a VPS with 4 CPUs
and 8 GB of RAM. It would cost USD$48 per month. Too expensive for me.
Linode also has VPS with 1 CPU and 1 GB of RAM. Same pricing as my Vultr VPS
with 1 CPU and 1 GB of RAM at USD$5 per month.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming
