Ask HN: Cheap VPS Providers?
Don't need anything too fancy, just something that has decent uptime and is enough to run a Wordpress site and a mail server. Budget hosts are preferred, as my budget is tight.
I had a look around, but some opinions might be helpful too. What would you guys suggest?
Stuff that I've checked:
http://quickweb.co.nz/vps-plans/supa-vps-plans.html (Seemed a little too good to be true)
http://prgmr.com/xen/ (The $8 plan, but I see no way to order)
- spooneybarger 16y agoprgmr.com is based on availability. there are times when they have no space, so they dont allow you to order.
- mhlakhani 16y agoThanks for that, it wasn't mentioned anywhere. I think I can wait for like a month or so at maximum, so let's see.
- spooneybarger 16y agoi'd email them and see. i know i was going to use them last year but they had no space for a couple months so i went w/ something else.
- spooneybarger 16y agobtw, whoever downvoted me for providing basic info; thanks- you're a gem.
- il 16y agoCheck lowendbox.com
- mhlakhani 16y agoThanks! I'm having a look at this right now.
- aonic 16y agoHow about an EC2 micro (600MB ram) reserved instance? $54 one-time fee for a year (~$4.5/m), then .007 an hour (~$5/m). Comes out to a around $10-12/m depending on bandwidth usage and other AWS usage factors.
- mhlakhani 16y agoHmm. Their free usage tier might be interesting as well, for a year at least. But you have to take bandwidth usage into account, other VPS providers seem to give much more bang for the buck there.
- dtwwtd 16y agoI'm on Rizie and couldn't be happier, VPS service starts at $4/month. http://rizie.com http://rizie.com
- czcar 16y agowebbynode.com is pretty cheap, and fantastic for deployment etc.,

- corin_ 16y agoThis topic is always coming up on HN, and generally the two favourites are www.slicehost.com and www.linode.com. (Personally I've used them both and would support both, though my choice is currently Linode due to availability of UK servers.) A few example previous topics: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=966555 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=966555 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1432386 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1432386 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1496630 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1496630 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1658161 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1658161
- mhlakhani 16y agoI manage a Linode for someone else, and so far it's been great. For personal use I'd rather use something cheaper though, budget's a bit tight. Thanks anyhow for the great links!
