Botting—whether for sneaker drops, social media management, or game farming—requires a server that is 100% stable. If your RDP restarts in the middle of a drop, you lose money.
RockHoster is excellent for general automation due to their high-performance NVMe drives which allow bots to read/write databases quickly. Vultr is great if you need to spin up 50 servers for an hour and then delete them (hourly billing).
For sneaker bots (Nike, Adidas, etc.), location is key. You want a server physically located in the same city (or even same data center) as the retailer's servers. usually Ashburn, VA (US East) or Chicago.
