VPS

Virtual private server — a virtualised slice of a physical server, typically rented by the month.

The standard hosting unit for self-hosted AI agents. Hetzner, Hostinger, Contabo and Linode are the most common providers. $5-15/month gets you 2-4 GB RAM and 2-4 vCPUs — comfortable for a single-user agent.
