Looking for a cheap VPS with cPanel or Plesk

Hi. I need something cheap with included cPanel or Plesk. Is it real?
1 core 1 gb ram and 10 gb ssd would be good for me. Can't afford expensive VPS

Depends what your budget is when you say cheap and how many accounts you're wanting to host. cPanel and Plesk pricing gets quite expensive when you're going into higher numbers of accounts. DirectAdmin would be a better alternative price wise if you're wanting higher numbers of accounts.
Please mention your budget.
cPanel is going to be the highest cost for you. I would suggest looking at DirectAdmin like @WSCallum suggested as most providers offer DA licenses for free.
As others have said, the cPanel/Plesk element will be the most expensive part of the package.
Specs wise, you could buy our LET Special below:
LET Special 1
1GB RAM
1x vCPU
20GB SSD Space
FREE 60GB Backup Storage
Unmetered Bandwidth
Fast 1 Gbps Uplink
IPv4 & IPv6
Only £3.69 (~$4.61) per month - Order Now
You could buy this VPS and simply opt for the (free) CentOS Web Panel or Webmin to save you the cost of an expensive control panel?
Good luck in your search and let us know by reply or PM if you have any queries
The cheaper is better. The man's offer above is too expensive for me.
Anything for 2 bucks per month? Okay, DirectAdmin is nice too. Thanks.
Good luck with your budget. Btw @Francisco has 1 GB RAM, 1 CPU with Free DA at $ 3.5
Why not simply use a free control panel such as CWP, webmin, KeyHell etc.?
You won't get cPanel or Plesk license on their own for this budget let alone a VPS as well. The best you'll get is a VPS including a free DA license, BuyVM for example. But even so, you'll need to increase your budget.
Use AWS Lightsail. For $5/month you get the 1 GB Ram and a 3 domain plesk license. This is a good deal to get you started. Plus you get AWS external firewall, nameserver and more. It's really the best deal. Plus you have more that 1 person running the servers and Amazon won't run away like some other characters on LET. Plus they work weekends etc. Basically aggravation free
Is the non weekend thing really that common in an industry that is active 24/7?
cPanel will probably be your biggest expenditure. Like many have already suggested, go for an alternative control panel such as DirectAdmin or Webmin. If it must be cPanel perhaps consider the Solo license direct from the cPanel store.
for $7/mo we can do
2 Cores
2GB RAM
40GB SSD
1 IPv4
Unmetered Bandwidth ( 4 locations )
Incl. Direct Admin licensing.
Never heard about KeyHell. Seems nice to me but how good are these Webmin and KeyHell? Are they just a free alternative of DirectAdmin or just a lower level? I used VestaCP and frankly saying it's awful after using Plesk...
Just speaking from my biased viewpoint, Webmin is awesome. I don't think it should be called "cheaper" - I think it should be called open-source. People around the world contribute to the project in their free time (including me). It provides a lot of functionality. Install things, configure firewalls, etc. all in a beautiful graphical interface.
For my hosting service, I tried all major hosting panels, including paid services, and came to the conclusion that Webmin/Virtualmin is the best.
And yes, I tried VestaCP and thought it was awful, too.
KeyHelp* my bad.
KeyHelp is actually really nice and pretty solid from my own personal experience.
Webmin is probably one of the oldest, stable control panel out there.
Granted, if you are coming from a premium product, moving to free stuff might feel odd. But you are also saving a decent amount of money on a project
