[Looking] 8 vCPU VPS for DB — budget ~$80/year
Hey all,
Looking for an 8 vCPU VPS to run a production database on.
Use case: Dedicated DB server (PostgreSQL)
Specs needed:
8 vCPU
8GB RAM minimum
150-200GB SSD/NVMe
Decent bandwidth (4TB+/month)
Dedicated IPv4
Budget: ~$80/year (~$6.65/mo)
Nice to have:
Dedicated cores over oversold/shared
IPv6 /64
Good renewal pricing (not a first-year-only discount)
Open to any provider in this price range — SSD I/O and consistent CPU performance matter more to me than raw specs on paper. Would appreciate input from anyone running a DB workload at this price point, especially on oversell/real-world performance.
Thanks!

Is there any specifc location you are interested in?
We can offer you a deal matching your requirements in our Los Angeles DC. Let me know if interested.
@SmokyHosts
Yes I am looking in US location.
Production database on cheap server is not a ideal thing to do. 8vCPU and 8GB RAM at 6.50$ is not profitable today by any means, so either the provider is lying or you dont care about reliability for production use !!
He won't care until it blows up and then he'll make a post complaining about it.
Could you please share more details on Server?
Which CPU and (SSD/NVME) Storage on server.
How much 12 GB RAM/ 16 GB with same configuration would cost?
@supersang
8 vCores of Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4
200GB SSD Storage
5TB BW
1Gbps
1IPv4
8GB RAM - $80/yr
12GB RAM - $120/yr
16GB RAM - $160/yr
@SmokyHosts
Can you confirm the $80/year price is the recurring/renewal price, not a first-year-only discount? I.e., will year 2, year 3, etc. renew at the same $80/year rate, or does it increase after the first term?
8 vCPU
16GB DDR4
200 GB NVMe
Unmetered Bandwidth
Port 1Gigabit
1 IPV4 | /64 IPV6
Backup Manual
KVM Virtualization
Ashburn
$80/ Year
Anyway to get 10gb port with BW limit?
@Nikunj
That's right, $80/yr price will be a recurring price.
If you can double the budget, there are managed database services available (DO & Vultr), these would be infinitely more secure and performant than hosting on a LET VPS
They haven't announced pricing yet, but Onidel's Managed PostgreSQL may be coming out of beta soon. Might be worth looking at.
Running DB on LSW is better IMO.
@georgedatacenter
Can you confirm that 80$/year is recurring, not a first year discount?
So interesting to me how people decide that they need 8 threads no matter if it’s a 9950X or a E5 from 2004
