One thing I would recommend is searching for deals on LowEndBox[1] blog. Most of the popular VPS's are ridiculously overpriced compared to what you can find on LowEndBox. It's a good site to get advice and reviews of various VPS providers, too.

- neurotech1 13y agoI'm quite familiar with LowEndBox, and I would say my current "Best Value" VPS provider would be Digital Ocean, who I found via HN. I probably can think of at least a dozen with solid reasons to avoid. FYI Digital Ocean's lowest offering is $5/m.
- driverdan 13y agoLowEndBox is great for non-mission critical servers. You aren't going to find many top tier providers on there, mostly smaller companies. I got a dedicated box (quad Xeon, 24GB RAM, 500GB) for $49/m.
- jervisfm 13y agoWho's the provider you're renting the box from ?
- sergiotapia 13y agoI would love to get my hands on one of those. What provider did you get it from?
- chinmoy 13y agoWhy would anyone need to search LowEndBox, when they can get top tier cloud servers from DigitalOcean(which is linked on the original post)? There is absolutely no reason to use providers from LowEndBox with grandma's SolusVM, when you can spin up a server with DO anytime you want and pay by the hour? And not to mention, how these providers are ddosing and hacking one another regularly.
- MoOmer 13y agoNot all providers there are bad; BuyVM is one that has treated me excellently
