Cheap VPS with rDNS and port 25(10$ per year)

Hello,
I am looking for a cheap VPS for around 10$ a year to host my personal use mail server so it needs to support rDNS and port 25.
As for now HostDare.com and some other companies I tried ( forgot name) also do not offer it thus why I am asking the question here if anybody knows.
Best Regards.

you should ask 5$ per year
LMAO
I mean I know there are many companies offering 10$ a year vps I saw cloudserver.net,hostdare.com,vpshostingservice.co,binaryracks,dedirock(unavailable),racknerd(unavailable),deluxhost.net,servitro.I probably saw more and dont remember the link with so many available, I am thinking there should be one offering port 25 and rdns at least no? for example i know racknerd does offer it but its unavailable right now.
I am also contacting all those companies to try to inquire.
I know IONOS offers what I need but its 2$ per month and 24$ per year its way outside my budget.
I can probably only afford something like 12$ per year.
I am sure its possible.
Do you know how many abusers going to spam from these providers? Unless you are spammer, I don't see how such a server will be useful for you.
I’m just looking for a small VPS for personal email hosting (a few mailboxes and basic sending for my own domains).
I don't like the available services restricting aliases,storage or adding domain limitations. At least with a VPS I have full control.
Well then go to one 🤣
I’ll stop the discussion here unless there are any actual recommendations. Thanks.
You stole my reply!
OP, cheap doesn't work with big corps email. You will get dropped.
Get something reliable, build reputation. Takes time and effort.
I know it personally, I run my own mail stack.
Increase your budget and you will find a lot of options.
Buy whatever cheap vps to run your incoming mail on and then use another service for outgoing email, such as MXRoute, Amazon SES, Mail.Baby or whatever the name of the day is.
That is the way to do it today, unfortunately. Spam and abuse had made it very hard to run your own mailserver, and it's just not worth trying.

Sure
Most of the providers you mentioned, does not block any ports. Also shared hosting will work better for you in that price range, or email service. Atm there is namecrane, mxroute(probably cant sign up, you can try) MailBig have sale thread here, or zoho one mailbox 5gb with unlimited aliases/domains for 10 bucks/y. For shared any would do as long they use good mail relay.
If you really want to use vps, take in consideration that for that cheap price you are problem for the provider as you can get his whole block on blacklist,(not meaning you specific, but there are tons of spammers who use cheap service for that.) and they just choose to block ports for the ease of mind.
EDIT: ill advise you to make account on netcup's forum, where you can get their old pico in trade section, there are some guys who sells them there from time to time. Its 10 bucks + vat but works great for what you need.
The difference between those services and your $7 VPS are that those services manage to deliver to actual inboxes. Chances of your mails going anywhere while coming from the IP range of some ultra lowend host are practically zero (not like it isn't already an almost unwinnable uphill battle from pristine IPs but this is pretty much the same thing but on nightmare difficulty...) and like already stated the abuse potential is way, way, way outside of what a host can manage while operating on like 20 cent profit per year.
Netcup had $10/y VPS at some point?
Till last year. Still floating around on some trade forums, even here before some months someone were selling or gifting them, i don't remember atm
Hey @moonbinder,
Honest fit: $10/yr is below our floor. Our cheapest IPv4 plan is XEON 1G at 1.49€/mo (~17.88€/yr ≈ $19), so roughly twice your budget.
Important caveat though - on the XEON 1G plan, port 25 is blocked by default for spam control. Port 25 is only open on EPYC, Ryzen, and the larger XEON plans (16G+). rDNS we support across all plans.
So if you ever want to step up the budget, we'd be a fit.
