For a Pavlov Shack server, I recommend minimum Cloud Compute, Intel High Performance, Ubuntu 20.04, and disabled automatic backups. At the time, this was $6/m. Some of the cheap options have 1TB bandwidth, and some have 2TB+. If it's a personal server, 1TB could be fine, but 2TB should be safe.
=====Google Cloud Platform (90 day free credit available)=====
The below configuration is successfully running 4 pavlov PC instances with ~15 total maps and up to 24 players per server. If you want more maps use larger boot disk. Both can dynamically be scaled based on popularity.<pre>

<pre>

Launch -> Create new Keypair -> Download -> Launch

Once it's started, SSH in like:
$ ssh -i your-key.pem ubuntu@you-server-details.amazonaws.com

(I use cmder on Windows, if you're using putty or mobaxterm or something, might be different)
