Cheap VPS Recommendation?
Hello LET Community,
I'm looking for a new VPS and would appreciate your recommendations or any direct offers. I'm searching for an alternative to providers like Contabo, hoping to find a similar resource-to-price ratio.
My requirements are as follows:
- CPU Cores: 4 Cores (Fair share is acceptable)
- RAM: 8 GB
- Storage: 100 GB+ (NVMe/SSD is highly preferred)
- Bandwidth/Traffic: 1TB+ @ 1Gbps
- Location: Open to any location, though EU or North America are slightly preferred.
- Virtualization: KVM
- Budget: Around $5 USD/month (Willing to pay annually for a better deal)
- Payment Method: PayPal or Credit Card
My primary use case will be for personal projects, some development work, and running a few non-critical services.
I understand my budget is very tight for these specifications, but I'm open to special promotions, annual deals, or offers from newer providers.
Thank you for your time and suggestions!

Hey, thanks for laying everything out so clearly—makes it easier to understand exactly what you're after. At ~$5/month with 8GB RAM and NVMe, it's definitely a tight target these days, but I totally get where you're coming from, especially for personal projects.
While I haven’t seen many offers quite at that price point recently, I’ve worked with setups in the $11 range that might still be worth a look if there’s any wiggle room in the budget. Feel free to DM me if you’re open to exploring a few options or looking at annual deals that get you close.
