Looking for a good and cheap KVM provider

Hi folks,

Can someone please recommend a KVM provider for around $5 a month with 2 IPv4s? Cherry on top of the pie would be for it to be located in the east coast, preferably Florida.

Thanks!

    We're close..

    $5 - 1 CPU / 768 MB 25 GB SSD

    • $2 for the extra IP

    We're not in FL, but Mt Prospect IL.

  • You could ask @MCHPhil at mycustomhosting for a custom quote in Montreal.
    They run RAID0, but I have been using them for almost 3 years without issue

    We can do this for you, but what specifications? Our regular pricing for our 512MB plan would be $5/mo with the extra IP.

    Thanks for the comments. I actually had forgotten about ramnode, I already have an OpenVZ container with them that that's been running fine for years (284 days since the last reboot) so they're likely a great option for me. I don't know if they allow more than 1 IP though.

    Anyone know what the difference between "Standard" and "Premium" KVM is?

    EDIT: found it.

    Premium plans are hosted on Intel E3 CPUs (3.3GHz+ per core). Standard and Massive VPS plans are hosted on Intel E5 CPUs (2.3GHz+ per core). Resource allocations also vary between category.

    What about OVH? $3.50 for their SSD VPS 2016 and you pay $3 once for an extra ipv4 - I know it's not Florida but the majority of my visitors are US and OVH's BHS location has worked really well and OVH's new VPS line is fantastic in peformance/uptime for the price.

  • So which do you want? Good or cheap?

    Really? Nice. I've heard some pretty bad things about OVH though.

    Both :) Crissic has worked pretty well for the past year for $4/month including the additional IP but I just canceled cause of all the problems lately and I'm looking for a similar alternative, wouldn't mind paying a bit more.

    Is $2/mo more way out of your budget? Dedicated core, 1GB ram, 250GB storage, full HA KVM VPS (redundant compute/storage/network) for $6/mo + $1/mo for 2nd IP. Located in Atlanta (close proximity to FL).

    They do, justification is required. IP is $1.5 to my knowledge, so the total price is exactly $5/m.

    PS
    @Maximum_VPS used to offer affordable KVM servers in FL, though I've never tried them personally.

    If Xen is OK, @AnthonySmith may have something in Miami.

    I've only just started using their SSD 2016 line but so far they've been solid.

  • Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I went with Ramnode, I have experience with them and to be honest, $3.50 is a steal for a premium KVM. I ended up working around my need of the second IP so that's a $1.5 savings right there ;)

    Good choice. I just got a "standard" OpenVZ and performance is as good as the premium plans, unless you have a specific need for the higher clock speeds of an E3

    Is that a new thing? I didn't know you could get extra IPs for the classic range. I keep meaning to try the new 2016 SSD range. Is it still slabbed like the Classic range?
