Looking for a very cheap VPS in the Gulf / GCC for a personal WireGuard route

Preferred locations: UAE / Saudi Arabia / Bahrain / Oman / Qatar. Dubai or Riyadh ideal.
Budget: Cheap as hell, give me your lowest/best yearly option.
Specs: Barely matter. 1 vCPU / 512 MB–1 GB RAM is enough.
Need: Public IPv4, stable network, decent routing to Riyadh.
Traffic: Tiny. Even 100–200 GB/month is plenty.
Optional bonus: Datacenter has air defense.
Annual promos, low-end plans, lesser-known regional providers, reseller deals, and hourly options are all welcome. Already checking SurferCloud (currently out of stock) and Alibaba SAS (no riyadh). Curious if there are any obscure GCC providers or LET offers I’ve missed.
Thanked by 1oloke

LOL
Or hidden under mountains of granite. That could also work
OH COME ON! NO OFFERS!?
Did everyone's datacenter got bombed
Or are the providers looking for oil rich customers
Damnit you're gonna land me in a DC in Iran with spoofed UAE IP.
yes
It's very tough; I had a try last year

I saw at least you were able to get the SurferCloud one, can I borrow ;-;
Hey @neighhouse,
We have a small VPS option available in Dubai, UAE that might fit what you're looking for.
1 vCPU
1GB RAM
25GB SSD
10Mbps network port, upgradeable up to 50Mbps
Dubai, UAE datacenter
Price: $7.99/month or $79.99/year.
The 10Mbps connection should be more than enough for your expected 100–200GB monthly usage.
If you're interested, just open a support ticket and mention this LET thread so we can arrange it.

damn 80 bucks for that... habibi I DID NOT know the dubai tax was so much
I get it 😄 Dubai isn't exactly the cheapest location!
Just to clarify, this is a VPS hosted in a real datacenter physically located in Dubai, UAE. It's not a server in another country with a fake UAE IP geolocation.
With the maximum discount we can offer, we can bring the price down to $6.90/month.
That's about as low as we can go for this location.
If you're interested, happy to get it arranged for you!
Thank you, but like way out of my authentic LET budget. Your maximum discount monthly is still higher than the annual your initially mention lol. But I will consider this later if nothing works out.
Could you share a Dubai test IPv4 or Looking Glass so that I could do a latency test if viable.
FreeVPS or FOSSVPS or microLXC or nanoKVM
՞՞՞՞ links pls
@NexOasis (melbicom) has Fujairah location in UAE, but I don't think their DC includes air defense.
ong they do but they ain't cheap, venocloud aah pricing ;-;
Had AI look it up, no gulf nodes.
FreeVPS: community-run free NAT KVM VPSes for active LET/LES members. Current requirements include an established forum account, roughly 3+ months old and 50+ substantive posts. Current locations are mostly US/EU/Asia-Pacific, not GCC. freevps.org
FOSSVPS: free VPSes specifically for open-source developers with a good LET/LES reputation. Typical allocation is actually pretty generous: 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM / 64 GB, NAT IPv4 + IPv6. Again, current locations are things like Frankfurt, Moldova, Romania, Buffalo not Gulf. fossvps.org
microLXC: another LET community free-hosting project, using LXC containers, historically with tiny 256 MB–1 GB plans. It also requires an established/active LET account.
NanoKVM: similar concept but using KVM VMs rather than containers. Historically around 256–512 MB RAM, 10 GB disk, NAT IPv4 with forwarded ports + IPv6, and also required an old/active LET account.
Old offers don't know if still active.
Sorry, I thought one of them had Dubai. Maybe it was removed, or more likely I was just wrong. Still, if you can use some other geolocation "free" is worth trying :P
EDIT: For anyone reading this for the purpose of a free VPS there's also serv00 that uses BSD. Fun labbing.
AMEA is not cheap right now especially with the instability .. what region are you in? can you settle for something outside but near this region?
How outside would that be for example?
Well, where are you?
Why does that matter?
Just tell me the country you have in mind no need to be so vague about it.
Try https://www.ucloud-global.com/en/promotion/ulighthost
2.88$/3Mo, min deposit is $5.

Because
If you want us here to name a place thats good, you need to say where you are, and then we could propose alternative options.
Otherwise I'll just guess that you are somewhere inside the gulf region and I would say Europe or Asia, e.g. Singapore or France/Germany.
I understand, my apologies.
I already have VPS options in plenty of Asian countries including those with decent routing to Riyadh but nothing in the Gulf. I have made peace with the fact that cheap VPS in Gulf do not exist, I will try that ULightHost offer that is only for 3 months maximum and I've found a decent priced VPN that has a physical Dubai server (Windscribe, 30$ yearly BF sale) so I'll probably try that too.
Thank you, regardless.
If Asia , Might be I can help.
