Low Spec BUT High Bandwidth (5TB+) 1Gb VPS

jacc1234 · November 2017

I need a VPS box to help proxy my Plex traffic from Leasweb NL to the north east. I have found that I get more consistent streams when I connect through my current Ramnode VPS.

Overall I just need a Gb port and at least 5TB of bandwidth a month. The cheaper the better. Good peering to leaseweb NL is also a requirement.

Everything else down't really matter as this will only be use for a SSH tunnel or possibly NGINX reverse proxy if I can get that working.

VZ Type: KVM Preferred

Number of Cores: 1
RAM: 256
Disk Space: 5GB or Less
Disk Type: SSD Preferred

Bandwidth: 5TB+
Port Speed: 1Gb

DDoS Protection: No

Number of IPs: 1

Location: US North East: DC, NY or MA preferably

Budget: > $10

Billing period: Monthly

Thank you

Could do this in EU, London if that's of any use?. We have direct peering to LeaseWeb over LINX

@jacc1234 Have you considered using Cloudflare as a web proxy?

Thanks but I am looking for something local to the east coast US.

I have cloudflare setup. It was my first attempt to stop buffering and although it did improve things, I was still seeing issues. Once I spun up my VPS things have been very smooth.

I have considered getting a vps in the Leaseweb Washington D.C. data center. My understanding is they have private connections back to their NL dc. (6 TB transfer for 9 Euro)

Also turnkeyinternet.net has a $4 unlimited Gb VPS offer that seems like a good fit. Does anyone have feelings about them?
