Sorry but this budget is impossible. Anything in Georgia starts at like $10/m.
Armenia may be easier but still not at this budget.
Good luck with your search
yeah figured as much. $10/mo is completely reasonable in all honesty but yeah looking for pisslow yearly offers. im probably looking for an unicorn here
sadly yes
I would also want to get such great deal.
In any case in Georgia there is:
In Armenia:
Speaking of gcore, i think there was a time one could get Baku VPS for $3.5/m from them. May be a thing of the past but that's the cheapest I actually saw in the region.
Even Armenia is hard to get for a reasonable price if you want the physical location to be in Armenia. Many providers just lie in their geofeed for that particular country.
i found this!
https://the.hosting/en/vps-vds-armenia-yerevan
they have 1€/mo plans in yerevan at exact specs i want. 12/yr isnt terrible. but ive never heard of "the hosting".
kyc is icky but since im not need it for anything shady i may do it.
@oloke @forest sorry guys for tags but since y'all replied before i wanna ask have you heard of the.hosting? are they decent?
@thehosting this you?
edit: they're russians. sanctioned company. lowrep IPs. nevermind. i might just scrap this location and get something else. thank y'all for trying to help tho
The KYC is the only downside on this plan from what I've heard.
I've heard of them. They're russians. Also pretty shady. Personally I wouldn't touch it.
Although the itself VPS should work as intended, I just don't want to support them in any way.
Yea.. and no problem
if you want that, just use 4vps. 4vps uses them. They are Russians too but without the kyc and not sanctioned yet.
~48 EUR/yr. hmmm. honestly reasonable price. cant shill that much right now but I'll keep this in mind for later! thank you
me too
this req is scrapped! im looking for a deal even LET is unable to provide. thank you again everyone for trying.
ill check out all the hosters you recommended but no promises i can order anything from those (at least not yet)
https://hosting.gcore.com/billmgr
A bunch of exotic locs
€3.25/m tho, but still good for some places like Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, ...
the.hosting $1/m plan is capped to like 6 months I believe, and is very shady. I wouldn't recommend them at all.
3.25 can actually work ngl!! so i'll definitely check this out!!!!
and yeah the.hosting smells fishy. who in their right minds names a hosting company - the hosting. name alone is repulsive
Gcore is definitely more prem than these other providers
they do seem pretty good from what i can see. 3.25 really isn't that terrible. not pisslow as 7/yr but we'd lie if we said its expensive.
I mean, the problem is we don't have many (if any) providers who offer services in locations you asked for. Maybe (hopefully) that will change in the future
wow, the OG @zGato . I knew they offer it but didn't know the details. I was not able to find those plans on gcore's main website yesterday so i assumed they were gone (tbf it was like 4am when i responded so i could've overlooked it).
Actually unmetered traffic in AZ and KZ for $3.25/m is unheard of. Also gcore should be more reliable than average LET host.
They used to be known as PQ.hosting (PQ = Perfect Quality, I believe). They are indeed sketchy, and their demand for KYC for their cheapest deals is problematic. I have also heard (but not confirmed) that they often lie in their geofeed.
It is easy tell just check their routing and use ipinfo.io ping geolocation.
unfortunately they do not (for what i can see) offer example ip / looking glass. i am physically in one of their euroean locations and if they had an example ip i could ping (if <10ms we'd be confident its not geo spoofed)
try this https://looking.house/companies/the-hosting/looking-glass
This is also helpful

okay at least for this country pinging IP via wifi mind you, obtained on looking.house is between 3ms and 5ms.
a trace completes in 8 hops.
That would work if they are spoofing from a long distance, but it's quite easy to say you are in one country when you are not even a hundred miles off in an adjacent country that has much cheaper internet.
i think most of this region of europe has relatively the same internet price. but they claim to have servers in 4 countries that border each other. so what they might be doing is they only have one DC and spoof the rest
The price of residential internet may be similar, but it's not like every single country has a major DC with a meet-me-room to peer with multiple huge upstreams, at least not always affordably.
For example, you're going to find it a lot cheaper to get 1 Gbps unmetered in the Netherlands than in Spain or Italy.
yeah this is true. years back, at my home country (and its still the case) the same VPS packages would be 3x as expensive if you chose home, compared to germany!
the country im currently vacating at isn't a major DC hub. but it is relatively close to Austria. so what they might be doing is geospoofing from austrian DC
without revealing too much im currently between 100 and 500 km away from vienna. sub 10ms pings would still make sense.
To make it worse, some providers won't spoof but will needlessly use a single upstream in a different country. I think there is one provider here that does that with their Ireland VPS that goes through London. Even a ping from Ireland itself will have to go to London to get brought to the server in Ireland, then back to London where it will finally be routed to Ireland again. Sure, it's technically in Ireland, but all routes going through London means that, effectively, that's where the lowest ping will be.
There isn't much providers in Austria. Some of the more notable ones are netcup and Alwyzon. Therefore, they are just spoofing as Austria but its actually Frankfurt, Germany.
so potential double-spoof? ill need to analyze the traceroute and IPs it hits give me a sec
that is beyond retarded?? why'd you route ireland through uk.. i wouldn't touch any uk hoster even with a shit-stained pole due to that OSA bullshit
Oh, you've seen nothing yet! There are routes that literally go halfway around the world just to avoid some expensive exchanges. Compared to that, Ireland to London is a stones' toss.
it appears this specific location i could test isn't geospoofed. it also appears to he exact same ISP as the one i currently have access to..

interesting
Besides kyc, the 1€/month plans are limited to 6 months duration, which requires upgrading to the next plan at 5.77€/month according to the how to order page.
Also limited to 1 per account
