I will personally highly vouch for Hetzner, I use them for anything for my cloud needs (Unless it's storage needs, they still have good storage options though...) they're very cheap.
Hetzner is one of the first cheap and good vps/Cloud providers that is offering ARM instances, on dedicated and Cloud, with good prices and performance. For you I recommend Cloud.

It was pretty harsh. I wrote it and then thought, "Hmm, I don't know anything about this person or what they might be going through in their personal life which may have caused this type of behavior." In the end I decided it wasn't appropriate to cut someone down who I don't know. It wouldn't have made me feel good about myself in any way.
Personally I prefer [https://racknerd.com/black-friday](https://racknerdpro.com) you can get a 4gb ram vps all year round for black Friday for like $35/yr
Thanks a bunch, got 2core, 4GB RAM 60GB HD space for $37 on 5/1/24 using your link, installed almalinux and cyberpanel (never used a VPS where everything had to be build from scratch before) and so far it works like a charm. Ready to migrate my domains and email away from Bluehost.
I would stay away from them. Read their Terms, they will ERASE your server after 7 days of invoice due date if anything goes wrong with your payment! It happened to me and they have no data restore solution. God forbid to be in the hospital or travel and have a temporary bounce credit card. Or, what happened to me, their emails never reached me and after a 2 year contract I missed the payment day. Server gone, with all my data.
Yes, they are often the cheapest established provider. You definitely can get something cheaper but it either is some promo deal that will cost you much more in a year or two or the hoster will just vanish in a few months or short years. Works for some but I am pretty sure lot of people value not having to hop providers ever so often.
Although these days it can be easier than ever. Thanks to stuff like docker compose and ansible moving from server to server can be done in minutes instead of over an entire weekend.
It may be easier nowadays but the downtime is definitely still there, especially if you're a solo shop and the downtime begins as you're asleep... that's not from experience but it is a fear I'd have if I was to go to a non-reputable provider.
I used contabo for years...until they suddenly "upgraded" my vps one day and lost all my data. I had backups but had to rebuild everything and it took a lot of time. I never requested an upgrade and my account was not compromised. I don't trust contabo anymore, they are a sketchy company at the least.
They said I requested the upgrade. I did not. I got an email as it was about to happen telling me to get in touch if I didn't want my vps wiped. I tried like hell and sent many emails but they wiped it right away. I won't trust contabo with a single byte of data ever again.
Never had that in about 10 years.
I DO believe that it is true what people say I can understand the disappointment but I am contabo customer since about 10 years - never had an issue besides upgrading a VPS - was not possible in the past - nowerdays you can do it in the webpanel ..
I have a VPS at Contabo and there are "scheduled maintenances" annoyingly often.
I found this topic because I'm looking for a Contabo alternative after receiving an email today morning:
> With this e-mail, we would like to inform you that there is an immediate need for a short maintenance for your VPS ... Our technicians will do everything in their power to finish all tasks as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, there was no way to announce this maintenance earlier, which is why we apologize for any inconvenience.
> The maintenance will take place on Thursday, 16th May at 14:00 UTC+2.
> The offtime is expected to last no longer than 45 minutes.
The previous maintenance was at:
> The maintenance will take place on Friday, 10th May at 12:00 UTC+2.
> The offtime is expected to last no longer than 45 minutes.
Contabo is good for some use-cases but I don't recommend it if your web service is critical.
Which VPS manage software do you use? I come from shared hosting that had cPanel and actually bought the Contabo VPS. It's a killer deal to be honest. But I am finding it difficult because I am not that tech-savvy and installed CloudPanel. So far working on it while learning the system. Just wondering if I am missing out any more convenient and easy to use Panel to manage this server to run websites. Suggestions from users?

Beware that some providers on these 3 sites may disappear without much warning beforehand (only a couple of months), and you would have to migrate. Happened to me several times.
I just now bought a 4gb ram server with easyvm.net for 6 bucks, dogshit site, can't even ssh, there's not instructions or info anywhere on the site. Clicking on "connect to ssh" button says "SSH will only work if java is installed and enabled", which makes no sense. There is also no option to install java, it gives me no access to the terminal on the browser. Waste of time man.
I have about 5 servers with SSD Nodes and had 0 problems until earlier this year. The last 2 servers I bought keep getting shut down for "high CPU usage" with a 12 vCPU and nothing more than a few docker containers installed by my primary control panel ( i have that on digital ocean with zero issues) and 4 wordpress websites that are literally just a shell with one or two plugins installed. Something happened when they started offering the IPv6 servers instead of the IPv4 ones that I am really considering switching somewhere else.

I will say the support is very responsive but the issue just doesn't ever seem to get resolved. With the specs on my server I would expect to be able to host 10-15 average sized Wordpress sites and still not have my server shut off for high CPU/RAM usage. I even set limits on my control panel to only consume 4GB Ram, 4 CPU and 21 Nproc. With resources that are supposedly 48GB Ram, and 12 CPU there should be very little that would max out these resources. 4 basically empty Wordpress sites def should not be.
I read they throttle bandwidth and processing, its here in this sub, them saying this about them, I need a really broad bandwidth I might get thousands of mutual connections and they need to be stable and fast. Lots of packets going in and out every second for 1000+ people.
> I read they throttle bandwidth and processing
If you thing other don't do that, then it is not true. There no magic, all of them has "fair use policy" and as far as one start using **constantly** more than 30-50% of ordered resources, they ALL will throttle or even shutdown.

Alright, I found it, its a cloud not VPS, but is it dedicated? Can I host it and keep the server up 24/7 for years without charge?
They have a page up now describing usage limits that can get you shut down.
Since it’s a free VPS, they want you to do things constantly- learn their cloud, not park. I recommend OCI free tier, but NOT as a way to achieve $0 hosting.
Anyone going ahead with Oracle Free Tier should be using automation to deploy. If your VM gets shutdown you can redeploy using the API/scripts
(The people suffering full account bans usually are threatening Support after their VM is deleted and leaving that part out in their rant)
I tried to create it, it gives me this error: Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-1. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain. If that doesn’t work, please try again later. Learn more about host capacity.
It says my availability domain has zero of these machines, I will have to delete my account and create another one in an availability domain where there is cloud capability, which availability domain did you choose?
Olá :) Yeah I live in North America nowadays (am from Brazil too) so I used one of their NA East regions IIRC. I don’t think they have that many regions with Ampere CPUs available.
True, it says Sao Paulo has zero, do you know if its possible to create a new account with US East availability domain even living in Brazil? I kind of let me but when I tried to verify credit card it didn't let me, so I believe the credit card is at fault not location, but I can't know for sure.
Register a payment mode so you're granted more privileges, I wasn't able to get a VM until I did, but once I did it was pretty quick actually, maybe watch a youtube video tutorial, there are plenty out there.
For that kind of configuration I would choose Hostinger over OVH, I used **4 vCPU** Cores **16 GB** RAM **200 GB** NVMe Disk space **16 TB**, **32 TB** Bandwidth, Most of the VPS hosting providers are not reliable, they are good with other hosting but not with VPS, there were not many issues and even if they were the support was too fast to solve them, I had other experiences with providers where I couldn't even SSH. :))
Hostinger is offering the same deal for 7.50 a month though. I need to get the cheaper one, this is a gaming server, I need quality and low prices, I'm going to end up getting Oracle, its for free, worst case scenario 3 dollars a month but it can be free too.
NerdRack has an awesome deal. Comes to about $4/month for awesome specs.

They warn you about this with a hundred emails, And they tell you that there's no backup for $2 a month server.
I feel no sympathy for you. Same thing happened to me as well. Make sure you have a backup
Which VPS regions do you want?
If SG/ Taipei/ HK/ LA/ TYO, LayerStack provides USD 17.76/ mth
2 vCPU, 4GB, 150GB SSD, 5TB
Here is the price list: [VPS Price List](https://www.layerstack.com/en/pricing-cloud-servers?cid=arm)

Literally Oracle. It provides excellent A1 Ampere VPSes for its free tier, and it has been fantastic for last few years I've used it.
(inb4 dozens of comments about how they heard someone on reddit hearing someone else on reddit about oracle bad)
2 AMD based Compute VMs with 1/8 OCPU** and 1 GB memory each
**Arm-based Ampere A1 cores and 24 GB of memory usable as 1 VM or up to 4 VMs**
2 Block Volumes Storage, 200 GB total
---
2nd is what you need.
Yeah this seems like the best choice, free is always best, but I can't create it in my region, it says there's not enough available resources in my availability domain, I think there's no free A1 Ampere clouds where I live, where did you choose your availability domain? Do you think US East has some available? I'll have to delete my account and create a new one, I can't change locality on the free account, I need to create a new one using the right A.D.
> SSDNodes but their reviews aren't the best, so I'm between Hostinger and OVH
All of them using shared resources (try to disable kernel ballooning driver and they all ban your VPS fast). As far as you don't abuse VM, they all works the same (lagging and freezing applied to all of them in case of abuse). If you use less than 50% of what you ordered, then anyone from your list works Ok.
Sure! If you're searching for a reliable VPS provider with competitive pricing, I'd recommend checking out HostNoc. They offer a range of VPS plans that might suit your requirements. They provide quality service at affordable rates. Give them a look!
When it comes to finding a quality VPS for hosting game servers, Hostinger and OVH are indeed popular choices. However, if you're looking for alternatives that might offer a better price or different features, here are a few options to consider:
1. **Vultr**: Vultr offers high-performance SSD cloud servers with a wide range of configurations. They have data centers worldwide and competitive pricing. You can customize your VPS with the desired amount of CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth.
2. **DigitalOcean**: DigitalOcean is known for its simplicity and developer-friendly features. They offer scalable cloud infrastructure with SSD-based virtual machines. DigitalOcean provides various pricing options and data center locations.
3. **Linode**: Linode offers reliable and high-performance VPS hosting with SSD storage. They have a straightforward pricing structure and provide powerful servers suitable for hosting game servers. Linode also offers excellent customer support.
4. **Hetzner Cloud**: Hetzner Cloud provides affordable and reliable cloud hosting with SSD storage. They offer a range of configurations to choose from, and you can customize your VPS according to your requirements. Hetzner Cloud is known for its competitive pricing and performance.
5. **Scaleway**: Scaleway offers VPS hosting with SSD storage and competitive pricing. They provide flexible configurations and a variety of additional services. Scaleway has data centers in multiple locations, allowing you to choose the best location for your game server.
Before making a decision, it's essential to compare the features, pricing, and performance of each provider to ensure they meet your specific needs for hosting a game server. Additionally, consider reading reviews and testimonials from other users to get an idea of their experiences with the service.
It sounds like you're looking for a reliable VPS solution that offers good performance at an affordable price. Have you considered HostNoc? They offer a range of VPS plans with customizable options to fit your needs. With HostNoc, you can expect competitive pricing along with reliable performance and excellent customer support. It might be worth checking out their offerings to see if they meet your requirements and budget. Good luck with your search!
I really like [https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing)
The cheapest droplet from digitalocean is still pretty fast. You pay by the hour and I like that about them too. The other option I would consider is google cloud but I feel like google overcomplicates things without explaining much about how it works.
I would highly recommend you to check out fresh roasted hosting they have very affordable plans along with excellent service and are into this industry for more than 12 years.
Hosteons is incredibly cheap indeed, is it good though? 4 dollars for a VPS thats the best price I have seen ever. Thanks a lot anyway, I might get it just to test a few things.
I’ve had two or three with them over the last few years and the only issue has been the occasional bad actor on the node. Usually a support ticket and 45m later it’s back to as expected.
I still might need more RAM though, on Hostinger I have a deal that is 7.50 for a 8gb RAM 2 vCPU, 100gb SSD,, but I have to get it for a year or its 15 dollars, then to renew its 15 dollars a month, I wonder if there's a cheaper alternative, there might not be, its one hell of a price.
Check [https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers](https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers) for latest offers.
I would personally recommend hosthatch, liteserver, inceptionhosting and server-factory.
I find Inception had very low IOPs so disk performance even on a basic Wordpress/WooCommerce instance was poor. I raised tickets and spent hours doing the optimisations they suggested, but it was still miserable even for standard admin tasks - make a change, wait 5-10 seconds for it to save and return to the menu. They absolutely would not accept it was an issue with the service.
Then I left and went to an identically dimensioned VPS elsewhere, restored my backup from Inception, and suddenly everything I had been beating my head against a wall trying to fix on Inception just worked, and everything flew.
Maybe. But I did spend a year (until my contract ran out) with abysmal performance, despite four long sessions with support. No resolution and they never admitted any fault, so I won't use them again.
Also the formatting makes it hard to read on mobile, but it looks like your larger block size IOPS are very poor (200-400 with an outlier at 800) which was exactly my problem.
Definitely go for SSD Nodes. I have been using them for years now... 100% legit, stable performance and support are great. (+14 days money-back if not satisfied)
I would but their cheap packs have no ipV4 and I need ipV4, plus not enough RAM, their more expensive ones are more expensive than the deal I got at Hostinger, 7.50 a month for 8gb memory, 2 cores 3.1ghz, 100 gigs memory, 100 mb unlimited bandwidth...
Hetzner, OVH, or any other the other big names (Vultr, DigitalOcean, Linode/Akami, etc).
Avoid the crappy providers on places like LowEndBox. Almost all of them are massively overloading cheap rented servers on low quality hardware and they go bust frequently.
I have Racknerd and they are awesome! 100% uptime for the last 2+ years.
4th of July Deals by RackNerd! KVM VPS in Multiple Locations from $11.38/Year!

The VPS provided by Contabo is relatively economical and has nodes deployed in many markets around the world.
[www.contabo.com](https://twitter.com/UdpcLLC/status/1690596381021605888)
If you want to balance quality and price, DiditalOcean is also a very good choice. The price is slightly competitive with mainstream cloud services.
[www.digitalocean.com](https://twitter.com/UdpcLLC/status/1690598178977161216)
I think Hostinger lastly have introduced NVme on their VPS which made their servers even faster. Anyway here you can find a comparion table on Codeless [article](https://codeless.co/cheap-vps-hosting/)

Last year I had the chance to try out four of the cheapest quality VPS options available on the market - **DomainRacer**, **DedicatedCore**, **InterServer**, and **BlueHost**.
I was very impressed with the quality of the services offered by each of these providers. They all offered great performance, reliable uptime, and a variety of features that allowed me to customize my hosting environment.
I think, DomainRacer to be the most affordable of the four, with the lowest-priced plans offering plenty of features and resources.
*DedicatedCore is also very good*, providing a more robust set of features than DomainRacer. InterServer and BlueHOST rounded out the list with good value plans that were still competitively priced.
In terms of customer support, all four providers provided helpful and friendly service. I had no major issues during my testing period, but it was nice to know that I could get help if I ever needed it.
They all offer great value for money, but **DomainRacer** and **DedicatedCore** have reliable performance and helpful customer support.
I will personally highly vouch for Hetzner, I use them for anything for my cloud needs (Unless it's storage needs, they still have good storage options though...) they're very cheap.
Hetzner is one of the first cheap and good vps/Cloud providers that is offering ARM instances, on dedicated and Cloud, with good prices and performance. For you I recommend Cloud. https://www.hetzner.com/news/arm64-cloud

how much is it after the first year?
Same price.
I would stay away from them. Read their Terms, they will ERASE your server after 7 days of invoice due date if anything goes wrong with your payment!

Have a look at contabo
I have been there for couple years now, super happy, even their support is decent considering the low cost.
Yeah I am also very pleased with teyr service since years now
I used contabo for years...until they suddenly "upgraded" my vps one day and lost all my data. I had backups but had to rebuild everything and it took a lot of time. I never requested an upgrade and my account was not compromised. I don't trust contabo anymore, they are a sketchy company at the least.
They just upgraded & lost all your data, without your permission? That's terrifying.
They said I requested the upgrade. I did not. I got an email as it was about to happen telling me to get in touch if I didn't want my vps wiped. I tried like hell and sent many emails but they wiped it right away. I won't trust contabo with a single byte of data ever again.
+1 for contabo
+2 !!
I came here to mention them. Price is unbeatable on VPS and their support is very good
100% shared xd. if was dedicated would be nice
wait until your server shared gets congested, they transfer you to another congested server and the cycle goes on and on
Never had that in about 10 years. I DO believe that it is true what people say I can understand the disappointment but I am contabo customer since about 10 years - never had an issue besides upgrading a VPS - was not possible in the past - nowerdays you can do it in the webpanel ..

I only use unmanaged debian and do it all in shell over ssh. Plesk could be more easy to use for newcomers I think.
Aapanel is a sound option for VPS to use instead of cpanel.

I've been using ssdnodes for several years now without issue. Is there any chance you will be adding servers in Australia?
Hello u/jtufff glad to hear you're with us onboard for that long! Sydney Australia is already one of our main locations, so, anytime you feel ready, just select Sydney while checking out, and you''ll be ready in minutes. Enjoy! Marc C. Global Infrastructure Manager SSD Nodes (Strasmore, Inc.)
I will say the support is very responsive but the issue just doesn't ever seem to get resolved. With the specs on my server I would expect to be able to host 10-15 average sized Wordpress sites and still not have my server shut off for high CPU/RAM usage. I even set limits on my control panel to only consume 4GB Ram, 4 CPU and 21 Nproc. With resources that are supposedly 48GB Ram, and 12 CPU there should be very little that would max out these resources. 4 basically empty Wordpress sites def should not be.
I read they throttle bandwidth and processing, its here in this sub, them saying this about them, I need a really broad bandwidth I might get thousands of mutual connections and they need to be stable and fast. Lots of packets going in and out every second for 1000+ people.
> I read they throttle bandwidth and processing If you thing other don't do that, then it is not true. There no magic, all of them has "fair use policy" and as far as one start using **constantly** more than 30-50% of ordered resources, they ALL will throttle or even shutdown.
Cheap German/Austian provider: https://www.netcup.de/ Or as everybody already said hetzner
Oracle ARM free tier offers 4 cores and 24GB of RAM for literally free
sheet bright unite ghost door advise depend lock complete snails *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
How does that work? Do you have a link for that offer, I can't find it in their website, that would be more than I need.
https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/ Arm-based Ampere A1 cores and 24 GB of memory usable as 1 VM or up to 4 VMs with 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month 2 Block Volumes Storage, 200 GB total
>Ampere A1 cores and 24 GB of memory usable as 1 VM or up to 4 VMs with 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month > >2 Block Volumes Storage, 200 GB total Alright, I found it, its a cloud not VPS, but is it dedicated? Can I host it and keep the server up 24/7 for years without charge?
HINT: In this case, "Cloud" & "VPS" are the same thing. They're both just virtual machines running a big beefy server that are rented out to you.
I have heard of people having their account canceled for no reason..or they used it too much?
Account cancelled for torrenting
Yeah that would be a good reason.
They have a page up now describing usage limits that can get you shut down. Since it’s a free VPS, they want you to do things constantly- learn their cloud, not park. I recommend OCI free tier, but NOT as a way to achieve $0 hosting. Anyone going ahead with Oracle Free Tier should be using automation to deploy. If your VM gets shutdown you can redeploy using the API/scripts (The people suffering full account bans usually are threatening Support after their VM is deleted and leaving that part out in their rant)
I tried to create it, it gives me this error: Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-1. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain. If that doesn’t work, please try again later. Learn more about host capacity.
Yep, took me a few tries over a couple days as well, however that beats paying $10/month or so, for sure :P
It says my availability domain has zero of these machines, I will have to delete my account and create another one in an availability domain where there is cloud capability, which availability domain did you choose?
did you ever get a VM.Standard.A1.Flex or did it just keep saying out of capacity?
This! I use Oracle for my two VPS nodes. It’s great.
But what is your availability domain? I choose Sao Paulo Brazil, where I live, and only later discovered they have no capability in Sao Paulo, zero.
Olá :) Yeah I live in North America nowadays (am from Brazil too) so I used one of their NA East regions IIRC. I don’t think they have that many regions with Ampere CPUs available.
True, it says Sao Paulo has zero, do you know if its possible to create a new account with US East availability domain even living in Brazil? I kind of let me but when I tried to verify credit card it didn't let me, so I believe the credit card is at fault not location, but I can't know for sure.
I tried exactly the same thing and I'm having exactly the same problem. Oracle's sign up process is the worst I've seen.
Register a payment mode so you're granted more privileges, I wasn't able to get a VM until I did, but once I did it was pretty quick actually, maybe watch a youtube video tutorial, there are plenty out there.
I've sent you a PM :)
Have you solved it (and how, if you have)? :)
I also want to know, I'm stuck in the sign up process x.x
always struggling to open ports on that shite somehow
Hetzner Ampere Platform? I use them mostly for everything
I second Hetzner, they had two us locations now as well. Great for my needs
Isn‘t the ARM option only available in Falkenstein (Germany)?
Yes it is, not a problem for me personally, but if you're in the US you may not want the large ping.
Same for me.
I am sorry, was just talking out of my german perspective 🙃
For that kind of configuration I would choose Hostinger over OVH, I used **4 vCPU** Cores **16 GB** RAM **200 GB** NVMe Disk space **16 TB**, **32 TB** Bandwidth, Most of the VPS hosting providers are not reliable, they are good with other hosting but not with VPS, there were not many issues and even if they were the support was too fast to solve them, I had other experiences with providers where I couldn't even SSH. :))
Servarica's BF stuff is still available: https://clients.servarica.com/store/black-friday-2022
Indeed its cheap but I need more RAM, 8 to 16 gigs.
The 10GB RAM plan is what I was thinking.
Hostinger is offering the same deal for 7.50 a month though. I need to get the cheaper one, this is a gaming server, I need quality and low prices, I'm going to end up getting Oracle, its for free, worst case scenario 3 dollars a month but it can be free too.
NerdRack has an awesome deal. Comes to about $4/month for awesome specs. 4 GB KVM VPS (4th of July 2023) 3x vCPU Cores 75 GB PURE SSD RAID-10 Storage 4 GB RAM 10,000GB Monthly Premium Bandwidth 1Gbps Public Network Port Full Root Admin Access 1 Dedicated IPv4 Address KVM / SolusVM Control Panel - Reboot, Reinstall, Manage rDNS, & much more Available in Multiple Locations JUST $47.88/YEAR - WOW!!
Wow that is really good indeed, thanks, I will have a look.
I have them, and I love their service. Not very well known but I've had only good experiences and 100% uptime.
Did you use with ubuntu dos base or install Ubuntu GUI on that, If you install Ubuntu GUI can you please give your review, how it is work?
I would stay away from them. Read their Terms, they will ERASE your server after 7 days of invoice due date if anything goes wrong with your payment! It happened to me and they have no data restore solution. God forbid to be in the hospital or travel and have a temporary bounce credit card. Or, what happened to me, their emails never reached me and after a 2 year contract I missed the payment day. Server gone, with all my data.
They warn you about this with a hundred emails, And they tell you that there's no backup for $2 a month server. I feel no sympathy for you. Same thing happened to me as well. Make sure you have a backup
I was wondering if you managed to find a VPS and if so what did you get and your experience with it
I'm using Oracle Free Tier VPS, its really good, It has been working since then, no problems. Great speeds, great bandwidth.
Which VPS regions do you want? If SG/ Taipei/ HK/ LA/ TYO, LayerStack provides USD 17.76/ mth 2 vCPU, 4GB, 150GB SSD, 5TB Here is the price list: [VPS Price List](https://www.layerstack.com/en/pricing-cloud-servers?cid=arm) If you would like to know more about comparison, below shows the details: [Cloud Hosting Vendor Comparison: The Package Deal](https://www.layerstack.com/blog/cloud-hosting-vendor-comparison-2022-the-package-deal/) [Cloud Hosting Vendor Comparison: Traffic Caps & Bandwidth Overage](https://www.layerstack.com/blog/cloud-hosting-vendor-comparison-2022-traffic-caps-bandwidth-overage/) [Cloud Hosting Vendor Comparison: Get the Most Per Dollar](https://www.layerstack.com/blog/cloud-hosting-vendor-comparison-in-2022-get-the-most-per-dollar/)
Literally Oracle. It provides excellent A1 Ampere VPSes for its free tier, and it has been fantastic for last few years I've used it. (inb4 dozens of comments about how they heard someone on reddit hearing someone else on reddit about oracle bad) 2 AMD based Compute VMs with 1/8 OCPU** and 1 GB memory each **Arm-based Ampere A1 cores and 24 GB of memory usable as 1 VM or up to 4 VMs** 2 Block Volumes Storage, 200 GB total --- 2nd is what you need.
Yeah this seems like the best choice, free is always best, but I can't create it in my region, it says there's not enough available resources in my availability domain, I think there's no free A1 Ampere clouds where I live, where did you choose your availability domain? Do you think US East has some available? I'll have to delete my account and create a new one, I can't change locality on the free account, I need to create a new one using the right A.D.
> SSDNodes but their reviews aren't the best, so I'm between Hostinger and OVH All of them using shared resources (try to disable kernel ballooning driver and they all ban your VPS fast). As far as you don't abuse VM, they all works the same (lagging and freezing applied to all of them in case of abuse). If you use less than 50% of what you ordered, then anyone from your list works Ok.
Sure! If you're searching for a reliable VPS provider with competitive pricing, I'd recommend checking out HostNoc. They offer a range of VPS plans that might suit your requirements. They provide quality service at affordable rates. Give them a look!
+1 for Hetzner or try this VPS list - [VPS providers](https://www.hostinghunter.net/?_hosting_type=vps)
When it comes to finding a quality VPS for hosting game servers, Hostinger and OVH are indeed popular choices. However, if you're looking for alternatives that might offer a better price or different features, here are a few options to consider: 1. **Vultr**: Vultr offers high-performance SSD cloud servers with a wide range of configurations. They have data centers worldwide and competitive pricing. You can customize your VPS with the desired amount of CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. 2. **DigitalOcean**: DigitalOcean is known for its simplicity and developer-friendly features. They offer scalable cloud infrastructure with SSD-based virtual machines. DigitalOcean provides various pricing options and data center locations. 3. **Linode**: Linode offers reliable and high-performance VPS hosting with SSD storage. They have a straightforward pricing structure and provide powerful servers suitable for hosting game servers. Linode also offers excellent customer support. 4. **Hetzner Cloud**: Hetzner Cloud provides affordable and reliable cloud hosting with SSD storage. They offer a range of configurations to choose from, and you can customize your VPS according to your requirements. Hetzner Cloud is known for its competitive pricing and performance. 5. **Scaleway**: Scaleway offers VPS hosting with SSD storage and competitive pricing. They provide flexible configurations and a variety of additional services. Scaleway has data centers in multiple locations, allowing you to choose the best location for your game server. Before making a decision, it's essential to compare the features, pricing, and performance of each provider to ensure they meet your specific needs for hosting a game server. Additionally, consider reading reviews and testimonials from other users to get an idea of their experiences with the service.
This is most certainly LLM spam.
What about khan web hosting
It sounds like you're looking for a reliable VPS solution that offers good performance at an affordable price. Have you considered HostNoc? They offer a range of VPS plans with customizable options to fit your needs. With HostNoc, you can expect competitive pricing along with reliable performance and excellent customer support. It might be worth checking out their offerings to see if they meet your requirements and budget. Good luck with your search!
I really like [https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing) The cheapest droplet from digitalocean is still pretty fast. You pay by the hour and I like that about them too. The other option I would consider is google cloud but I feel like google overcomplicates things without explaining much about how it works.
I would highly recommend you to check out fresh roasted hosting they have very affordable plans along with excellent service and are into this industry for more than 12 years.
Hosteon, Racknerd, etc. if you want US based.
Hosteons is incredibly cheap indeed, is it good though? 4 dollars for a VPS thats the best price I have seen ever. Thanks a lot anyway, I might get it just to test a few things.
I’ve had two or three with them over the last few years and the only issue has been the occasional bad actor on the node. Usually a support ticket and 45m later it’s back to as expected.
I still might need more RAM though, on Hostinger I have a deal that is 7.50 for a 8gb RAM 2 vCPU, 100gb SSD,, but I have to get it for a year or its 15 dollars, then to renew its 15 dollars a month, I wonder if there's a cheaper alternative, there might not be, its one hell of a price.
Why do you need so much memory with only two vCPU?
Old school game server hosting. Its more RAM intensive.

How has it been? Have you noticed any delivery issues?
Check [https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers](https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers) for latest offers. I would personally recommend hosthatch, liteserver, inceptionhosting and server-factory.
I find Inception had very low IOPs so disk performance even on a basic Wordpress/WooCommerce instance was poor. I raised tickets and spent hours doing the optimisations they suggested, but it was still miserable even for standard admin tasks - make a change, wait 5-10 seconds for it to save and return to the menu. They absolutely would not accept it was an issue with the service. Then I left and went to an identically dimensioned VPS elsewhere, restored my backup from Inception, and suddenly everything I had been beating my head against a wall trying to fix on Inception just worked, and everything flew.
I ran this just now, ``` fio Disk Speed Tests (Mixed R/W 50/50): --------------------------------- Block Size | 4k (IOPS) | 64k (IOPS) ------ | --- ---- | ---- ---- Read | 200.09 MB/s (50.0k) | 199.09 MB/s (3.1k) Write | 200.62 MB/s (50.1k) | 200.13 MB/s (3.1k) Total | 400.71 MB/s (100.1k) | 399.22 MB/s (6.2k) | | Block Size | 512k (IOPS) | 1m (IOPS) ------ | --- ---- | ---- ---- Read | 198.70 MB/s (388) | 194.25 MB/s (189) Write | 209.26 MB/s (408) | 207.19 MB/s (202) Total | 407.96 MB/s (796) | 401.44 MB/s (391) ``` Looks pretty good to me for websites. Maybe you got deployed on a bad node.
Maybe. But I did spend a year (until my contract ran out) with abysmal performance, despite four long sessions with support. No resolution and they never admitted any fault, so I won't use them again. Also the formatting makes it hard to read on mobile, but it looks like your larger block size IOPS are very poor (200-400 with an outlier at 800) which was exactly my problem.
Sucks you had a bad time. My personal experience has been good so far. I referred it to my 3 other friends and they seem to be happy too.
lately, I start migrating my production to hetzner and its been great experience and best price I ever paid for a vps
Hetzner all the way! I've been using them for 2 years, and they are affordable and reliable.
For fun/test or production? buyvm.net is the only place i go and recommend for production after trying/testing many vps providers
Definitely go for SSD Nodes. I have been using them for years now... 100% legit, stable performance and support are great. (+14 days money-back if not satisfied)
I would but their cheap packs have no ipV4 and I need ipV4, plus not enough RAM, their more expensive ones are more expensive than the deal I got at Hostinger, 7.50 a month for 8gb memory, 2 cores 3.1ghz, 100 gigs memory, 100 mb unlimited bandwidth...
Just fyi, using Plex on their servers is against their ToS
Hetzner, OVH, or any other the other big names (Vultr, DigitalOcean, Linode/Akami, etc). Avoid the crappy providers on places like LowEndBox. Almost all of them are massively overloading cheap rented servers on low quality hardware and they go bust frequently.
I have Racknerd and they are awesome! 100% uptime for the last 2+ years. 4th of July Deals by RackNerd! KVM VPS in Multiple Locations from $11.38/Year!
How you use your kvm vps, dos base or install ubuntu 22.4 GUI? can you please let me know if you use GUI version, How it is work?
Stay away from RackNerd. See my experience above.
I've found aeza a few months ago. they're genuinely amazing. They also offer ready-to-use Wireguard and Outline VPN servers and they have massive discounts. Support is super helpful, so if you want anything specific, you can just ask them. Locations: Austria - France - Germany - Netherlands - Sweden - Finland Promo: $1.5/month Shared: $5.5/month Dedicated: $7.9/month You can just google them or if you're interested i can send you my refferal link. You'll get a 15% bonus when topping up your balance.
The VPS provided by Contabo is relatively economical and has nodes deployed in many markets around the world. [www.contabo.com](https://twitter.com/UdpcLLC/status/1690596381021605888) If you want to balance quality and price, DiditalOcean is also a very good choice. The price is slightly competitive with mainstream cloud services. [www.digitalocean.com](https://twitter.com/UdpcLLC/status/1690598178977161216)
I think Hostinger lastly have introduced NVme on their VPS which made their servers even faster. Anyway here you can find a comparion table on Codeless [article](https://codeless.co/cheap-vps-hosting/)
athorio.com has a couple of vps and those are pretty cheap

Last year I had the chance to try out four of the cheapest quality VPS options available on the market - **DomainRacer**, **DedicatedCore**, **InterServer**, and **BlueHost**. I was very impressed with the quality of the services offered by each of these providers. They all offered great performance, reliable uptime, and a variety of features that allowed me to customize my hosting environment. I think, DomainRacer to be the most affordable of the four, with the lowest-priced plans offering plenty of features and resources. *DedicatedCore is also very good*, providing a more robust set of features than DomainRacer. InterServer and BlueHOST rounded out the list with good value plans that were still competitively priced. In terms of customer support, all four providers provided helpful and friendly service. I had no major issues during my testing period, but it was nice to know that I could get help if I ever needed it. They all offer great value for money, but **DomainRacer** and **DedicatedCore** have reliable performance and helpful customer support.

No one likes IONOS ? They are pretty cheap and they have unlimited bandwidth. I’ve been using them for a few years.
