Looking for two VPS (Manchester + Charlotte)
So.. I'm looking for two VPS with the following approximate specs:
KVM Virtualization
1 CPU Core
1 GB RAM (768 MB should also be fine)
10 GB SSD
1 TB BW/mo.
1 Gbps Port
1 IPv4 Address
/64 IPv6
Locations: 1 in Manchester, GB + 1 in Charlotte, US
(London is not Manchester and Lenoir is not Charlotte)
The option to get a BGP session in the future is a plus, but not a must.
Budget: 12-15 USD/year per VPS
The location requirement might be a deal-breaker, but... let's see what happens.

LoveServers have you covered for Manchester, and QuickPacket (who now own LS) have dedis in Charlotte but not sure they do VPS.
I don't have any experience with them and they are probably out of your budget, but you could try Tier.Net for Charlotte. Since Hostigation left the business I'm not aware of any low-end Charlotte providers.
I was hoping to work something out with them but they do no longer offer custom packages and their 1 GB plan would be 48 USD/year which is beyond what I'm willing to pay.
Yep.
HostUS may be able to help. They are colocated with us in Charlotte.

Virtono for Manchester - OOS
Ah yeah their £15/year plan is only 512mb, my mistake.
Would $20/year and /112 IPv6 work for you? We have NVMePromo-1GB available in Manchester, UK: https://greenkvm.com
Thanks for your suggestions!
I'll look into it - thanks!
If you're still looking in July, I'll hopefully be adding a Charlotte, NC location then.
I don't hope so, but I might consider adding Tampa if you make me an offer I can't resist.
What are you thinking
Same requirements as above, different location. I'll let it be a surprise.
Just realized I can't totally meet your requirements yet. I have yet to deploy IPv6.
I'd be fine with using a HE tunnel for a month or two.
I'm only willing to go down to $39 a year. Let me know if that's that's something you'd consider.
Kind of what I expected, but that's like twice as much as I'm willing to pay.
Thanks anyways!
$12-15/year is really unrealistic.
If someone is renting a /24, they're looking at probably a minimum of $0.40/month in IP cost, plus probably about $1.00 in payment processing fees. Even at $15/year, that only leaves $9 for the node, colo, bandwidth, etc. - for an entire year.
Unless someone is getting unlimited free IPs from a provider (which is pretty much unheard of in 2021), I don't see this happening.
100% this. I'm spending $550 a month on my rackspace, another $85 a month to lease my /24, not to mention about another $40 a month in licesning costs. I can't even fathom offering something that cheap, outside of shared hosting. For me to make that kind of offer I'd have to oversell the node like crazy, which would kill performance. If I rented dedicated servers, that would lower my costs somewhat, but its still not sustainable to make those kinds of deals.
^ hides.
@brueggus if your interested in coming to Texas we are near your costs at $18/yr
Providers who own a lot of ips get to lift that 85 USD p/m cost thus making it cheaper, and colocating like 3-4 cabinets at a time thus once again minimalizing the costs and passing the savings onto the customer
Already have one with you... within the price range mentioned above.
That being said...
Fully understandable!
Thanks everyone for your offers/suggestions.
@NDTN Great pricing, but I've had various issues with M247's routing in the past so I'm trying to avoid their network.
In the end, I decided to lower my requirements, add some swap and go with Loveservers' 512mb plan. I was a bit hesitant since they haven't put up an offer here in years but they responded to tickets quickly so they're still active, I guess.
My order got provisioned instantly and IPv6 was enabled after opening a ticket within few hours. In addition, they bumped the recurring amount for my 15/y plan ordered few hours ago to 25/y without further notice.
I was thinking back and forth whether I should give their 3-days-money back guarantee a shot, but since the server's running fine I decided to keep it and reconsider when it's due for renewal.
