A lot of posts asking "Looking for the cheapest best cloud VPS" I've got you covered with the best three ones i've tested before and it will save your time A lot, remember: (+ i hate the middle one skip it if you're looking for the best) ARM64! reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FuriousRageSE · 2023-12-31 12:31 You should add to hetzner that you are always a hair strand thickness away from getting locked out by hetzner, always. They will find imaginary MAC-addresses and then force YOU to prove you dont use those addresses.. or as they want. a essay where you sit like a moron promiss you wont use "unallowed" MAC-addresses they fantasize up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- anestooo · 2023-12-31 12:33 ​ 1. Hetzner Offer 5 months free for the posted server CAX11. also you can share a refferal link to get 10 euro for each invite which will gives you extra 3 months on each invite you made. so basically ultimate free vps. 2. Contabo Charge you "SeTuP fEeS" for ordering a VPS 😁 (I highly don't recommand contabo for many reasons, but mentioned them because they're cheap, but not best. a lot of ddos a lot of attacking to server ports and 200mbit internet speed). 3. Netcup wins on storages, they're 4-5 double than hetzner, but they're doing a lot of things manually. and i use only 2 servers with them. all my other servers with hetzner in two types dedicated and vps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jobcron · 2023-12-31 13:05 Why not contabo? I am also a better user since 15 years, but noticed some of their vps are cheaper (specific configuration only) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- really_bad_eyes · 2023-12-31 14:15 I've never used their VPS but the popular consensus on multiple hosting forums is that their nodes are very oversold, with slow disks and network. I think I agree with those assessments, since I do use a shared hosting service hosted at Contabo (by another reseller). Normally from my city to Singapore I get 30-40ms ping, but with Contabo servers it's consistently 250+, which is ridiculous. That's higher than the ping to Hetzner FSN (180-200ms), which is in Germany, not Singapore which is basically right next door to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- m4ntic0r · 2023-12-31 14:36 i had a contabo vps but suddenly the ping and routing from my german isp was horrible and not useable anymore. i changed all my services to netcup and speed is perfect since day 1. i change with my e-mail to netcup too.
