Hello, LET.

I was unsure which category to pick when opening this thread, so I opened it in General. If anyone has better ideas, just let me know.
We are a startup VPS hosting service, mostly focused on low-budget VPS.
Most of these kinds of buyers are using these services to install VPNs, this is the reason we called our website VPSforVPN.com

We don't want to use this thread to promote our service, we just want to be sure we integrate the most wanted services and ideas from this niche, so I am going to ask some questions:

For people looking for budget VPS, what's your purpose? How are you using a 512MB/1GB RAM VPS? VPN? Maybe an NS server? maybe something else? We are courios so we can adapt our services for everyone.

If you are choosing a VPS for using it as a VPN, what are you looking for? which is the most important thing when you choose it: price, location, whois IP, peers, geolocation, spamscore, scamscore, IP reputation, etc? If I forgot to add something, please feel free to add another response.

Considering we all know the difference between LXC and KVM (LXC might be faster for the client, and also consumes less resources for the host, so hosts can sell it cheaper, but KVM has a dedicated kernel, an isolated environment, but can be a bit expensive)?

If I forgot to ask something, or you have other ideas, just feel free to give us more ideas. We are working to provide the most searched solutions for everyone, at the best price possible. So any idea is a good idea and we will take it in consideration.

Thank you

    Due to your expertise, I'll go to some fast growing market, not to fare from VPN, like load balancing Turn servers ... Video sce ( WebRtc, Whip) is the future :)
    So you don't rent one vps, but a block of 5 or 25 ones each time o:)

    My "VPS for VPN" is a 64MB NAT container on MicroNode platform.
    WireGuard is very efficient and can fit in this memory.

    I get the following for £15/year:

    • 512MB total RAM, enough for 8 containers in different locations
    • 2000GB monthly bandwidth, would be tight for always-on VPN but enough for light usage

    If you can't match that, I wouldn't use your VPS for VPN.

    We can match the price for sure, we offer 1GB RAM and 2TB BW for $9/year.
    I will take a look at that technology though.

    It's not about matching the price, but about matching the functionality.
    The key selling point of MicroNode platform is the ability to create small containers in many different locations around the world.
    Likewise, big VPN companies have dozens of real locations (and hundreds of fake locations for shoes).

    NAT has it's pros and cons in regards to VPN usage. On one hand it's more private as your traffic is mixed with a lot of other people but on the other hand you can be sure that some of these other people are doing dumb shit, so you wouldn't want to use it for anything official.

    @yoursunny said: 2000GB monthly bandwidth

    How...

    Comcast has a 1229 GB monthly data cap for Xfinity Internet residential broadband.
    If you use up the 1229 GB and put half of your traffic on VPN, adding 5% protocol overhead, the VPN container would consume 1260 GB network transfer in a month.

  • @sillycat said:

    @yoursunny said: VPN
    @yoursunny said: 2000GB monthly bandwidth

    How...

    If you don't use it for torrenting, and use it how it's meant to be used (not 24/7), seems easy.

    Exactly. You don't want to mix your traffic with others.

    We are testing servers in Romania and Hungary right now.
    We will choose one of them for the moment, then in the following weeks we will open Germany too, but now we think the next location will be in Romania, but we are still waiting for last test results.
