Looking for a reliable budget provider
I am looking for possibly two separate VPSs.
Criteria
DC in the US West or Central (Dallas, Kansas). Other US East has high latency. Other continents are even worst (based on some experience).
Must have a good network speed.
If you are offering then must offer a refund or a trial period to validate your claims about the speed. I only need hour or two after provisioning it to run some diagnostics to see if it will work for me or not.
I am open to monthly and year pricing (if price is right)
Must be reliable and good network speed
- Must be reliable and good network speed
- Must be reliable and good network speed
VPS 1 - This is needed
Disk ~50GB or more
1 CPU or more
256 MB or more
Virtualization - any
BW - at least 500 GB
Usage - VPN, OwnCloud, act as backup for other VPS
Budget ~$4
VPS 2
SSD/NVMe Based - More the better
1 CPU or more
1GB or more
Virtualization - KVM preferred so I can run containers
Usage - Git, VPN, PiHole, more developer stuff...
Budget ~$4-$5
I have tried several VPS providers over the past couple of years and some are good and some were total failures.
I am happy customer with some providers but then I don't want to put all eggs in one basket.
Also want to find out about more decent providers.
Virmach, SSDNodes, OVH, RamNode, Yoctobox, Scaleway, etc.. have my thumbs up.
Also most of them don't have any specials going on.
If you have some offer you don't want to list in the public, you can PM me.
Comments
I would suggest having a look at BuyVM as they're a known reliable provider and have plans that meet your requirements.
I have looked at them in the past, but their price is on the steeper side of it. I get what I paid for. But for the lower end plan only 1/4 or 1/2 CPU. Even when I don't plan to use it extensively, it sounds really restrictive.
What's your budget like? You could always have a look at:
https://www.vultr.com/
Totally forgot about them.. Good option.
Smallest instance is IPv6 only
You can use Cloudflare as gateway to be able to serve pages to IPv4-only users, though.
Eh-what? Vultr? Ipv6 only?
So many requirements and risks for so little budget.
Good luck!
Yes, the $2.5 USD plan is IPv6 only, because that way they can offer their service cheaper.
No?
Edit: aha, something recent! When I was using vultr the 2.5 was ipv4. I think.
Not really, Ramnode offer 120GB storage plan for $32/year. Way under $48 budget I am offering for 50GB.
I have come accross several providers offering SSD VPS around $5.
I can just go the OVH, Vultr, DO, Ramnode for $5 and get a KVM SSD VPS. So it is not unreasonable. I know some providers have offered them even for cheaper price during promotion, but that is not what I asking.
I am trying to find more reliable providers outside some big names.
