I pay $60 A YEAR for my VPS that has 2TB of bandwidth a month.

RackNerd still has a new year deal for a 2GB VPS with 2.5TB of monthly bandwidth for $17.38/year.

I've found this.

It does seem suspicious, though.

RackNerd provides up to 100 free IPv6 addresses upon request.

Pick one.

I had a VPS with racknerd for a year. I just used it as a wireguard endpoint to exit in the US. I had no complaints but I also didn't use it very often.

Makes me wonder if those are real VPSes, or if they're Virtuozzo/OpenVZ containers pretending to be a VPS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m not refuting that the price is ridiculous, but shat you have there is just one VPS with single point of presence and single point of failure. Hopefully (seeing the provider wants to charge absurd amount of money for 2TB) there’s a much more robust infrastructure distributed globally for better performance and uptime than a single VPS.

So for that price I spin up 20 instances with failover, load balancing, and use an external DNS provider. Even with the price differentials between different vps providers, it still doesn't math. They're treating their customers like pork barrels.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They also have support included.

Their primary customers are businesses, so pork barrels is right. If you're just running a blog, a VPS or even shared hosting is a far better choice.

Ahhh the part I completely overlook, Support.
