  I don't think they have Iowa - their server selection only has Utah and Chicago for the US. But two India POPs - Delhi and Mumbai.

  @forest said: lovenia (pfcloud.io), Nigeria (sitehub.agency), Chile (infofractal.io), Vietnam (dataonline.vn), and Turkey (vps.tc). I know that No Ack Hosting (noackhosting.se) has an VPS in Laos, but I've heard it's unusably slow.

  Hosteroid also has Slovenia. For Chile, there's Grupo ZGH who has an entry-level $5/month VM in the capital, and there is Zappiehost in Valdivia (Chile) which is semi-unusual.

  Scaleway is one of those cloud providers with pops all over the place including Fez/Mali, Columbia, etc. Oracle has a pop in northwestern Brazil (Fortaleza).

  If we're going real obscure that is.

  @nikio Racoona has the DC outside of Chicago in Iowa - probably they call that loc "Chicago" now.

  Zappiehost in Chile uses Infofractal which moved their DC from Valdivia to Santiago de Chile in 2025.

  Scaleway is just reselling Oneprovider Onecloud (yepp, but Oneprovider is also reselling Scaleway dedis)

  In general most obscure locations don't help much as the connections and meet-me-rooms are important, e.g. Nuyek (in Southern Illinois) is just Kansas City with extra latency as afaik all connections go via KC.

  Providers like Computebox are special in having really local connections, e.g. with HAM or BRE compared to others (e.g. some providers in Berlin) where all traffic goes via FRA.

  @MattBGP has Maribor, Slovenia - that is what I would call rare location in Europe.

  MVPS has Cyprus and Dublin and either Seville or Valencia (don't remember, check) in Spain and also a non-usual location in Italy.

  @3K33 has Gdansk, Poland

  @Computebox also has Moelln and not only Bremen.

  Euronodes has Portugal.

  Also there is a new US one in Iowa, forgot the name.

  Please note: most will be out of your price range, so probably will have to check for special discount offers with those.

  Computebox only shows Hamburg and Bremen. i don't see Moelln anywhere.

  Ill go check out Euronodes. @3K33 Gdansk, Poland has other vps in stock but the $7EUR/yr one is OOS but others are double my price range.

  Sorry, 7€/yr plan won’t be available any time soon. But I can make you a discount code for that bigger one (50% off like in offer thread), for a year Micro plan would be around 20€/yr + VAT if applicable. Let me know if you would be interested.

  Right! MVPS also has Greece. Very cool set of locs although outside of OP budget.

  @3K33 has Gdansk, Poland

  I can confirm Gdańsk is a "quiet n such" city

  But outside of OP budget for sure confirm it @3K33 .

  Thanks for the mention!

  I usually can't pay VAT since im outside the EU (US, NA) but i can pay in euros using revolut.

  I was planning on also buying @rsk Eygelshoven, NL loc too (L512M plan). but not today atm, sorry. maybe next time

  thanks for the offers @SoftShellWeb @SmokyHosts and everyone else for the suggestions! maybe next time

  Annoyingly, some providers make you pay VAT even if you are not European.

  forcing non-European buyers to pay for VAT is so weird

  Croatia is also rare

  I have a Croatia VPS from @MAXKO_Hosting which is quite nice, although the routing could be better (I had to move my uptime monitor off of them it couldn't route reliably to 2 of the ~30 services I had at the time). Speed is solid and I think they give you 4 vCPUs even at their cheapest plan, since each CPU is only a Xeon E5-2683 v4. They also have a plan in South Africa, although it is (understandably) quite slow. All their plans cost more than $20/year, though.

  My own rarest locations are Kosovo (rscomputers-ks.com), Slovenia (pfcloud.io), Nigeria (sitehub.agency), Chile (infofractal.io), Vietnam (dataonline.vn), and Turkey (vps.tc). I know that No Ack Hosting (noackhosting.se) has an VPS in Laos, but I've heard it's unusably slow.

  Thanks for the feedback. Just a short update: a few days ago we added a second upstream provider, SoftNet, in our Croatia DC. Please give it a try now. Maybe we’ll get a better rating this time 🙂

  for location, i do not want common mainstream locs like LA/SJ/SFO/TKO/OSA

  My first thought was Laos/Svalbard/San Francisco/Tokyo/Osaka
  

  +2 in rural Europe or asia

  What do you consider "Rural Europe"?

  @Hosteroid has many cool locations in Europe (Vilnius, Vienna, Tirana, Bratislava, Bucharest) and currently they're on promo for not a lot above your budget (with better specs).

  @gbzret4d said:
  Kosovo, Luxembourg, Austria also not that common
  @rarecloud do have resi IPs in Romania

  I have Kosovo rscomputers-ks (and north macedonia).
  Luxembourg used to be BuyVM before moving to Switzerland or the Netherlands.
  Austria, isn't Netcup there? I frequently see it on the YABS but never verified if that's the actual location.
  Also Pipehost @MattBGP and Hosteroid mentioned before.

  It's very uncommon to see Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina or Georgia for affordable price.

  We are planning to open a hosting location in Serbia in February. Let’s stay in touch regarding this. Pricing is expected to remain the same as it is now.

  I suspect they just pocket the fee in that case.

  Oh awesome! I was quite frustrated by the connectivity before, so a second upstream will probably help tremendously with the prior routing issues.

  Will it also allow Tor exits and have unmetered bandwidth?

  Yes, it will be allowed to run Tor exit nodes, and the network will have unmetered bandwidth.

  Hi there,

  We can offer you our L512M plan on AMD Ryzen 7950x/9950x, DDR5 RAM, 10Gbit port, 5x FREE backup slots in Spokane, WA or Coventry, UK, or Eygelshoven, NL

  You can check out the looking glass here https://spk-lg.layer.ae - if any of these locations interest you, let me know and I'd be happy to help out

  I’m interested in a VPS in Spokane. I only need a small VPS to run a private VPN.
