It's hard for me to replace CloudCone
CloudCone’s plans are quite interesting, and I haven’t been able to find anything with similar specs and pricing elsewhere. For example, their 3C/4G with 200GB storage for USD $47/year, or the 6C/4G with 60GB storage for USD $39.5/year.
I’m specifically looking for something in Los Angeles. RackNerd is indeed cheap, but they don’t seem to offer anything with the same configuration.

If you'd put in what kind of specs you are looking for people could throw you some offers, surely there is someone offering similar services for same or lower price
I only use these servers to run a Mastodon instance, so I don’t need anything too expensive.
The 3c/4g with 200GB plan is for running the PostgreSQL database, and the 6c/4g with 60GB VPS is used for Mastodon web, Sidekiq, and Redis.
We misread the title as Cloudflare, which is truly difficult to replace.
On the other hand, it should be trivial to replace every general purpose VPS provider, unless they are in an unusual location.
We can offer you something similar

200GB NVMe
3VCpu
4 GB DDR4 RAM
AMD Ryzen

I’m based in China, and Los Angeles routes are very fast from here. As for pricing… well, I’m pretty broke, so I’m relying on budget VPS providers.
I hope they survive. Seem like a good provider
i love the cat in your profile, it's have a Aure Mawo, have a nice day
Thank you！I’m very interested. How can I purchase it?
Do you support PayPal for payment?
racknerd has the same datacenter (multacom) offers.
Thank you
They can survive.
Multacom + Cloudcone
Acquires
QuadraNet + Pacificrack
Now they are all EdgeCentres family.
It seem be some poor or not effetive, found many customers say can't rebuild vps system now,all lose their data, after crash 3, 4 days.
Get monthly VPS and wait for @NDTN GreenCloud Top Provider sale.
Hopefully they will run some promo this year also.
One philosophy would say that you don’t have to replace them. It’s not a philosophy that can’t be argued, but it’s one I’ve always appreciated. It goes a bit like this:
Would you rather fight beside the guy with battle scars or the new recruit? Sure the guy with scars shows that at some point someone got the better of him. But the new recruit has delusions of grandeur and hasn’t yet been humbled by the realization that they’re capable of failing.
It’s not guaranteed that this applies to everyone, but the person who has made a mistake can be the one who learned a valuable lesson that the other hasn’t yet learned.
Greencloud A+++ I have a cheap one with them, never any issues just runs...
The web site UI is somewhat unique, thus not replaceable.
But the price, the value for money, among LET providers, is not that competitive.
There are dozens of general purpose VPS providers in Los Angeles.
10¢ Lighthouse is a safe bet if you need good connectivity to China; ask @Rubben for discount code.
Nevertheless, where you live doesn’t always matter.
You should choose hosting closer to your readers/viewers instead of yourself.
We have servers in Malaysia and Singapore and Nigeria despite we are half a world away.
We tolerate >250ms RTT so that our viewers don’t have to.
I can't use yet, fk cloudcone, I even want to hack them
Racknerd do actually have stuff that's similar pricewise from their Black Friday and New Year deals if you don't need the full 200GB:
https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/
https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear/
e.g.
4C/6G with 140GB for 59.99
5C/6G with 100GB for 44.98 etc
You're unlikely to get an exact match for what you had with Cloudcone, but it's fairly easy to get a deal that's probably close enough, unless the amount of disk was a deal breaker for you.

Cloudflare really is impossible to replace. I’ve tried
The lesson is, if you want to be a provider, be a specialty provider rather than a general provider.
Anyone can buy two servers with VirtFusion license and open a general purpose VPS provider in a week.
Anyone can buy a dozen servers and open a general purpose CDN in a month.
Few can build up a worldwide CDN with advanced capabilities like webpage optimization, edge functions, zero trust enterprise connectivity.
In between the two extremes, we can see these LET providers having advanced themselves slightly above a general purpose VPS provider:
I had that 6 core vps in $35 from cloudcone. I had to put it in idle mode because the performance was very poor. This was before I joined LET. After seeing various threads here, I realised I was wasting money in cloudcone.
I'll choose 1 core ryzen 9950x from any other provider any day over Cloudcone's 6 core vps (whatever cpu was I can't remember).
