Wanted: cheap Dublin VPS that doesn't suck
We are looking for a low end VPS provider:
- in Dublin,
- with good connectivity (low latency, high uptime) to AWS Dublin and the major exchange points,
- as well as support for Bitcoin/etc payments.
(No we do not require a "bulletproof" host and yes everything we do complies with the TOS of any reasonable provider.)
Our current Dublin provider is not really satisfactory... new servers often are not network accessible until a support ticket has been filed, the servers are slow and uptime-deficient even by low end VPS standards...
VZ type: Any
Number of cores / HW specs: 1 core with 1GB RAM is fine.
Bandwidth / Port Speed: > 500GB @ 1Gbit. Latency is a bigger issue than bandwidth.
DDoS protection: Not required.
IPs: One is fine.
Location: Dublin, IE
Budget: ideally 4-5€/mo
Billing: monthly

Maybe directly at Amazon?
Oh well, their littlest plan hasn't 1GB RAM.
@shell @dediserve that's awesome but would you please add payment via cryptocurrency? (e.g with BitPay or Coinify) it's one of the criteria in my post for a reason... we've standardised on that for hosting payments, and it means providers don't have to worry about payment fraud or 3% credit card fees...
Hi there, we'd absolutely love to, however cryptocurrency tends to bring with it a large amount of fraudulent activity (nothing implied, just statistics) so it's a market we'd ideally like to avoid, we don't charge fees for cards, debit, credit or otherwise however
@Dediserve Well, I did note in my original post that "we do not require a "bulletproof" host and yes everything we do complies with the TOS of any reasonable provider"... we don't even need DDoS protection
I do hope you're not judging cryptocurrencies off a bad experience from a few years ago... the market has changed quite dramatically even over the last few months. A colleague was telling me something like 35% of professionals in South Korea now actively trade Bitcoin? We've moved a lot of operations over to targeting the blockchain/cryptocurrency space, not because we do anything dodgy, but because that's simply where the money is right now.
Well then, it seems we check all the boxes and more! If you'd like to give us a try do let me know.
As mentioned, nothing implied, we get the market is booming right now, but from our experience Bitcoin combined with low-value VPS instances creates for a bad time where fraud is concerned.
I am still looking for one !
