Which blockchain you are talking about, Bitcoin blockchain ? To run bitcoin node you need lots of spaces so that you might have to pay huge monthly price. However you can Check this link for low cost VPS packages https://lowendbox.com/

Found this https://www.host1plus.com/vps-hosting/
You can choose Gold package for which you have to pay $20 per month but its specification will be enough for you to run bitcoin node.

Yes bitcoin blockchain and litecoin blockchain.

How think for litecoin blockchain node 512mb ram will be ok?

Thank you!

I think you can use the free tier of aws amazon trial you can get for 1 year trial..
Just increase the hdd to above 100 gb for extra capacity.. Its free trial so you can not spend a lot of money if choose aws instance..

1 year trial is good.
I will read about.

To run a Full-Node, you need a VPS with at least 160GB HDD. Recommended 220GB+
Because current full-blockchain size is nearly 122GB. Then you need a space for OS and upcoming months. IMO there are also and security issues to run it at VPS.

But if you are determined to do it, you could check for actual promotions and best deals here Webhosting talk - VPS Hosting Offers (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=104).

Unless you use pruned mode for bitcoin full nodes, i doubt you can find any VPS which offer big HDD/SSD for low price.
You can check this link about bitcoin full nodes, but looks like it's slightly outdated by now : https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node (https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node)

how can use pruned mode?
can setup size of disk space?

Virtual Private server is not secured enough for blockchain node.
VPS is basically shared resources with others on the same server, so activities of others will effect you too. I would recommend to use your own private server, or at least a dedicated  server for your project.
