You either love or hate Virmach 
**First of all, I love the price! **
you have to admit that for $19 per year, it's unbeatable!

**On the tech side though ... **
* Not even the classic Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS distribution
* You spend your time fighting with the Clouflare captcha
* VPS migration, the IP block isn't geolocated to the proper location
* You ask for an rDN, they answer you 8 days later!
But above all, as you only asked for that,
they change your IP! Without warning either 
In short, for the use I have of it, tests and dev before putting it in production, it is quite acceptable. You just have to expect the most beautiful surprises, it makes your day
I imagine that you have all lived similar things, tell us about it, so we can laugh a little

$19? really good price
Neither do I like nor hate vir, and I just don't care.
Not as stable as it used to be.
Additionally, I recommend payment with PayPal in case of any nastiness happens.
Just request for refund and PayPal will make a fair judgement which protects both customers and providers.
i have 5 ryzen vps all in different locations.
for the past few months, all were almost fully up. no extended downtime apart from active maintenance.
tokyo was not that stable though, but in recent months it greatly improved.
however you would already be lucky if vps has no downtime. do not expect other features to work within SLA like IPv6 etc.
since nodes are stabilizing virmach has had maybe less tickets hence time to handle other things like some basic support. still, don't count on any SLA.
manage your expectations and things aren't so bad, if full suite of features required then do look elsewhere.
the greatest draw back then was low prices but now with the new rates, i hope he has the support level to back it up. to me I'm not paying for that until i know for sure things are truly production grade.
This one is $15 per year
Virmach is good, but not for production because of low stability and low support.
Indeed, impressive for the price!
The disk is too small for me, but I'm sure you have a good use for it
