This is not an ad. I found this website and registered an account. Performance seems pretty good.
They do seem almost too good to be true. I might use those for when I want lots of little, disposable servers (like regional game servers) but I’d be scared trusting critical stuff to them.
On the other hand, https://lowendtalk.com/ users seem to have rated them highly (not that I’d heard of that site before today either!).
Overall, definitely worth the risk at that price, thanks for the heads up.
I have a couple, including the one running my lemmy instance I’m posting this from. They’ve all been pretty good for me. I don’t push any of them hard or anything, but I’ve not had any problems.
Racknerd and lowendtalk have been around for a very long time. Racknerd has earned their good reputation over that time by being a stable provider with good support. The occasional great deal helps but none of it is too good to be true for anyone that has been following the vps space.
I’ve had a Racknerd VPS on a LEB special for a couple of years. It work works and is always there when I need it. The control panel is good. If you want to pay less than US$1/month for a small VPS they’re great.

I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!
Meh, linode and digital ocean are cheaper for better offerings and well known/trusted/respected
I didn’t see any product on linode or do that are cheap like this (prices are yearly, not monthly)
Ahhh missed that it was yearly. Seems extra sketch then
Racknerd.com has their Black Friday deals page still active and I’ve had good experience with their shared hosting and support!
Does anyone have a sense as to how the underlying hardware compares to Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc? I saw reference to fairly old Xeons, but I’m not sure if others in the same space are using similar hardware.
I can’t speak to Racknerd, but I have used a couple VPS from Ethernet Servers and they are a great value. I have a single core VPS with 3 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD for $25 per year, and another with higher specs I pay more for.
