I'll bite. WHY? the crazy spot price? whats wrong with physical hardware? The "cheapest" option is to just buy some graphics cards; but that doesn't scale well. Is that why you need "GPU SERVERS"? Your question is meaningless without some background information. What are you doing, ML? What's your stack? how much memory do you need?

I am just searching for Servers which have a GPU (linux/windows, CPU, RAM doesn't matter). Is this so difficult to understand?

I need to play around with some "remote rendering" via paraviewweb but can't use my own hardware.

Ok. Have you tried any of the ARM-based hosting providers? A lot of time you'll get bare metal, and most SOCs will have some sort of GPU. Not sure whether it'd be beefy enough to run paraveiw. Here are a couple links, I know nothing about them and can not vouch for their quality: https://raspberry-hosting.com/en, https://www.unixy.net/arm-server/, https://www.mininodes.com/hosted-arm-servers/.

If a hosting company goes through the trouble of installing GPUs, its usually because their customer is trying to use the GPU to accelerate computations, such as those in machine learning. As a result, they charge a hefty premium.
