RackNerd

A very cheap KVM VPS with many US locations plus points in Europe and Asia. Billed a year upfront, hence the low effective price

This is an affiliate link: if you sign up, we earn a commission. The price for you does not change, and it has no effect on the provider’s position in the matching

Strengths
  • A very low monthly-equivalent price
  • Many US data centers
  • Europe and Singapore available
Limitations
  • Billed a year in advance only
  • Affiliate payouts via PayPal only

A limitations section is in every review. A review without one would be an advertisement, not a reference material

Which workloads it fits
How we decide this. A workload makes the list if the provider claims it itself or if it has plans with a suitable configuration. It affects the matching: a workload fit adds +25 points, the full formula
Disclosure. We have an affiliate relationship with RackNerd: we earn a commission for a service ordered through our link. It affects neither the provider’s position in the matching nor the content of the review: everyone has a limitations section. The matching formula is fully open
