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.
