http://lowendbox.com/ - Usually has some low end VPSs for about $3/month.

I have a test VPS running on WeLoveServers - they are currently running a $3/month or $30/year deal:

VPS Hosting - JAN15 - LEB 256MB
10 GB Disk Space Storage
3000GB Bandwidth (100Mbps)
256MB Guaranteed RAM + 512 MB vSwap
1 IPv4 Address
SolusVM Access
Full Root Access
Choice of Linux OS
Self Managed

As always, you get what you pay for - but I haven't had huge issues - although I only use it for testing.

try a Linode VPS at https://www.linode.com/ I am with them for 4 + years and have no problems on the $20 plan (±R217 pm)

This seems decent $15 for a year.

Also some decent deals - http://www.ramnode.com/vps.php

I use ramnode and would recommend. My box has gone down 3 times in the last year with frequent updates & speedy resolution in all 3 cases.

They're always running coupons, so see if you can find one. I think I pay about R250 a year for the 256mb, 120GB ssd-cached VPS. It suits my requirements which is all you want at the end of the day.

Host1Plus is pretty cheap and I haven't had issues with my $2.50 box Use it as an OpenVPN server as they allow you to enable TUN/TAP on the VMs which is nice.

Don't you pay a bit extra for TUN?

Nope.

Can you pull torrents with Ramnode, I see they have a yearly fee of $15, thats not bad if I wanted to create a seedbox for myself.

 

[Hemps]

Currently have a digital ocean account , got a free month.

Installed and setup my OpenFire XMMP server in 2min and its working very very well.

 

[DA-LION-619]

Nope.

Weird. I wanted to create a VPN for fun but I'd have to pay extra for TUN.

The best I've had in a long time when it comes to cloud/VPS is the new service from Prosperent Cloud. For $9 you get 1gb ram and 30gb SSD and their system is much faster than Linode or DigitalOcean

You can also split up your 1gb RAM / 30gb disk space into smaller instances. Just note that you shouldn't use the full 30gb if you plan on doing that because the drives can't scale down. You can also add more RAM without adding more disk/cpu like most providers force you into. So for a few dollars more you can double your RAM without having to be forced to take more disk or CPU

For what you get with them vs linoda/digitalocean and OpenVZ VPS, it's much much cheaper and better quality for your money

Mine says $0 extra when ordering a new service:

I also have to pay extra for tun on host1plus. You must have been lucky to get it for $0.

Unfair

They don't market themselves as a seedbox platform. They have a loosely enforced limit of 20Mbps for torrents, and they do tow the line in terms of DMCA. Therefore not at all ideal for a seedbox, but I do fire up the odd torrent now and then.

TUN/TAP is also free on ramnode, at least on my server.
