Looking for a miracle VPS provider
Hi
Soon I need to rent a VPS.
My minimum requirements are:
- 1 Ghz CPU
- 512 MB of RAM
- 5 GB of disk space
- 20 megabits network speed
- 1 static/public IPv4 IP address with all ports available
- Custom ISO support
- Web console over HTTPS
- Non-fuckwit owner/staff
- $5 AUD or equivalent in cost or less per month
- Quarterly billing
- Has a working billing facility that accepts Visa payment
Is anyone able to suggest any providers that meet or come near to this requirement?
Thanks

Which location?
For AUD i would go for
https://www.binarylane.com.au/
3,75 AUD for
1024MB Memory
20GB NVME Storage
1000GB Data Transfer
KVM
/32 IPv4
/56 IPv6, routed
Their console is a bit strange, if you are used to whmcs or anything else - but it's functional and i actually like it.
It's prepayment; Just load 3 month worth of money on it -> done
But it's probably not for productive stuff - though i've got not one outage i'm aware of.
Doesn't seem very miracle to me. I'm not exactly sure how much $5 AUD is in € or $US but if it's about equal there should be quite some options supplying these rather modest specs.
Any location is fine with me.
Thanks for the suggestion about Binary Lane. I tried to use their service once but it was broken (port 25 was blocked) and a staff member acted like a fuckwit when I reported the problem.
I joined LET looking for such miracles. Found one with RackNerd. Satisfied with their service till now.
Meets your requirements and more at $10.99/year -

I spoke to Racknerd once and the person I spoke to was a fuckwit.
If you value knowledge, a helpful/friendly approach to customers and don't mind an EU location i can recommend st-hosting.com. They certainly aren't the cheapest host around (at 60 Euro-cent per AUD your options would be just a small LXC instance somewhat below your budget or a small KVM instance a bit above your budget) but it's still pretty good value in my opinion.
Given you're seemingly located in Australia some US or Asian location would probably be better for you though and i'm not entirely sure if they take CC payments but there's a ton of options and i figure at worst you should be able to use your CC through Paypal without having to sign up there. Custom ISO used to be available in the old control panel but i usually just dd disk images over rescue, so no idea if that's still the case.
Thanks, but LXC and the price is not good for my needs.
HostBrr has (no aff)
For $2.30 / month (yearly). See product specs (aff)
This is not the cheapest but I excluded RackNerd if you dislike them.
staff aren't fuckwits either btw.
Thanks, but with quarterly billing, the price is $5.20 USD per month. I can't afford that.
lowend-deals.xbit.win/
I can't afford any of them either. They are even more expensive than the previous.
It is $6.90 per quarter.
Hang on... YEARLY.........
For the sake of fun I'll insist it is $6.90 per quarter. That's what my monitor shows. I'm sure but there isso much fucking noise around me now I can't focus.
I had a look at the first service on that page the the acceptable usage policy states they block port 25. This does not meet my requirement.
I won't look at any of the other services on that page as they are probably the same.
Hi,
https://login.layer7.net/index.php?rp=/store/cloud-server-mid-cpu-fra1/cloud-server-mid-cpu-2cores-8gb-80gb-fra1
should be fine for you.
Yes, it does look very good.
Is there terms of service and\or acceptable usage policy I can read?
It mentions VNC support. Are you able to confirm if it also supports a web console over HTTPS?
Hi,
Looks like our Entry plan should meet your needs: https://manager.enginyring.com/cart/virtual-servers/
I can throw in a 30-day "no-matter-what" refund for you. If you're not satisfied with the VM for any reason.
Unfortunately, can't lower the billing period to quarterly, but I can give you a recurring 20% off with the code: ENTRY20OFF.
Not having quarterly billing does not meet my needs, but thanks anyway.
No worries! Hope you'll find a good fit.
The code will remain available for just 1 use. If anyone wants to benefit from this offer, can be used only once.
Hello, check our VPS in Spain:
Thanks, but I cannot afford it.
Oh, do you mean the chat? The owner dustinc is active here. You'd also try contacting other hosts like Crunchbits.
Hi,
You can explore offerings on VPSforVPN
Our plans empower you to configure the resource allocations according to your specific requirements.
If anything just contact us and we will be glad to help you
Yes, the chat.
Thanks, I had a look at Crunchbits but their out of stock on the one that I can afford.
The DIY KVM server looks good. Do you have a test account that I can login and verify it meets my requirements?
Get to know when it's back in stock
