Veeble | Webdock | Milesweb | Cloudfanatic | Time4vps | Hetzner | Vpsdime | Zap-hosting I’m looking for cheap VPS options. I’m trying to run Syncthing, a caldev server and maybe a searXng instance as well. Also what would be the catch with cheap VPS providers?

I dropped Akamai Connected Cloud (Formerly Linode) after the rebrand and price hike. Shifting everything over to Vultr was easy enough. They’re not a great VPS platform but in Linode’s absence there’s no real definitive platform. Digital Ocean is now probably the fan favorite I would guess.
After 10 years with Linode I’ve just completed a transition to hosting hardware at my house instead. https://urbanists.social/@markstos/112267184724721864

If cheap (but reliable) is your main criteria, check out buyvm.net they’ve been solid over the years
I use Vutlr. They have a nice UI.
I used to use these guys for the same reason. I moved because of the forced agreeing to giving them your data. And now I’m paying less else where.
Source? I remember a follow up to a post about that saying it was a misinterpretation of their T&Cs
There were some older language taken out of context, and they’ve since removed the wording after things blew up. Some people who knee jerk reacted will continue to hold their initial reaction and never change their opinion, others will take ages to convince otherwise.
Whatever one has a data center closest to you. If the VPS is on the other side of the country, the ping time will be very high.
Geographic proximity doesn’t necessarily relate to network proximity, but it’s usually pretty close. Sometimes if a route is particularly bad, your traffic might go across the ocean and back.
Had this topic today with a friend. ionos offers 1 vCore, 1GB Ram and 10GB SSD for 1€ a month.
Do they accept crypto payments? If they do, I’d rent some without second thought
AFAIK only credit card, PayPal and sepa/debit card
does that include a ipv4 address?
Yepp, 1 ipv4 is included and domains are optional. Seems like ionos.com offers it for 2$ while .de is at 1€. https://www.ionos.com/servers/vps
When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.
One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.
From your list, I’d go with hetzner. Racknerd is another good cheap option.
Also check out lowendtalk or lowendbox. Various providers post deals there petty often and the community is active.
Cheap but powerful VPS? NetCup ARM-Server or normal x86 VPS. Both are good
Damn, it looks amazing
I am hosting stuff on OVH at the moment. Entry level package is around £1 / mo in the first year.
I use Hetzner exclusively and have just one complaint. You don’t get much choice as to where your VPS is hosted country-wise nor the OS it runs. You do get the standard list of options, as you would with any other provider, except that list is quite small on Hetzner. It’s good enough, I use Fedora everywhere and they support that so I’m good. Anyway, it’s obviously free to create an account so there’s no risk in case your setup isn’t supported.
Apart from that, they’re brilliant. The web console is nice, clean and well-designed, great value (1TB of storage clocks in at a few euros/month), room to scale and a decent company. Can’t comment on customer support since I’ve never needed it.
For the services you’ve specified, that’ll run you maybe 3 - 4 euros a month (that’s with automatic backups of your entire server + tax) since you can run all of that under one server.
Agreed on Hetzner, although I have used customer support—to add another distro option. Sent them a web link, and they had it uploaded under my account by the next day.
Oh wow, that’s pretty awesome.
If you care about privacy, choose 1984. Located in Iceland and good service.
Edit: typo
*Iceland. I recommend them too.
Out of that list I use OVHCloud. Their VPS are built on Epyc (atleast they are in London), which gives very high performance for a low price.
I use Linode
Hetzner wanted to charge me more because I am from “risky” country. Idiots…
I use Time4Vps now. Works fine with one downtime in a year. Their prices are reasonable.
Out of those I’ve tried hetzner and milesweb and I thought hetzner was better in terms of ping times for me and easy to use
