    My first VPS was from Urpad. Think it was in 2011 / 2012.

    Think this the same spec VPS I purchased.

    windows vps from aminserve on wjunction forum, not the cheapest, not a very good value too.
    and then first linux vps from beamservers, again not a very good value, bought it just because they are the cheapest and pretty popular on wjunction.
    and then that all ended just after someone from wjunction mention about LEB.

    My first VPS is with a Local Indonesian provider for hosting my Minecraft Server.
    I got it for $40/Month with 4 Core E3 CPU, 6 GB of RAM. Rented it for 2 years, so far the best local provider I know

    Edit: Fix some wording and add invoice

    Mine was vpslink. Didn't even qualify for LET pricing. I don't think they've updated their pricing since I bought it...I think I had the link-3. A towering 256MB of RAM, 10GB of disk, and 300GB of bandwidth for $19.95/month!

    http://vpslink.com/xen-vps/

    The most famous article in LEB history used a vpslink-1 for its example. For its day, vpslink was OK...ish...I didn't stay long.

    I then moved on to DamnVPS. That was a sad time in my life. They're dead now.

    Then I found LET.

    This brings back memories! - https://web.archive.org/web/20120103112811/https://hostigation.com/

    My first real VPS (KVM) was with @miTgiB from Hostigation back in October 2012.
    He was one hell of a guy who provided rock solid services, and didn't seem to mind answering some of my newbie questions back then.

    I hope he's well in 2020.

    hostigation is premium back then.

    Not an VPS but got my first dedicated somewhere back in 2009 from server4you

    First VPS tho? Probably last year. Edit: Nope..my first VPS ever was this year. Lol

  • brueggusbrueggus Member, IPv6 Advocate

    A "go vserv one" from Pretago back in 2007 (the brand does no longer exist). I do not remember its specs, but it came with Confixx preinstalled which was a pain in the ass to remove from the system.

    It cost 9.99 EUR/mo. Wow. I don't pay 9.99/mo for ANY of my VPS nowadays...

  • swat4swat4 Member

    MY first VPS was actually on this one - https://www.vilayer.com/

    But it turned out to be a scamming site.. paid and only got wrong login :p

    Not a VPS it was a bare metal dedicated (512$/m) first one was a solid one in 2014 from Softlayer , IBM.

    Made a common mistake and rented one big dedicated box instead of going with couple of awesome VPS. Still hurts 😂

    Vps were from multiple providers first one was from Digital ocean 2016 then there were hostsailor , linode etc

    Standard 1GB RAM VPS for $5/m on Vultr. Found LET and never return.

  • eingresseingress Member

    Very early noughties, servelocity.net, UML (user mode linux) and either 16 (yes really) or 32 MB I can't remember; pretty sure it was £10/month.

  • jmgcaguiclajmgcaguicla Member

    It was good 'ol Bezos, found AWS via the GitHub Student Pack. Then found smaller semi-LE providers (Vultr, Linode), then I found LET.
