What is the best vps provider for privacy and price to performance?

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Perhaps you’d like DeluxHost.

You can pay with crypto (I never tried it).

And they use to offer but only through this website.

  • 2 cores
  • 8 GB Ram
  • 80 GB disk
  • 10 gbps network (symmetrical)
  • “fair-use” bandwidth (15 TB/month)
  • a static IPv4 address
  • a /64 static IPv6 block
  • located in Europe

For _18 Euros _ per year. (

Now, to set some expectations. For 18 EUR per YEAR:

  • You’re NOT getting 99.999% uptime
  • That said, they are pretty reliable (especially as a hobbist platform)
  • For this price point, you’re not getting blazing fast hardware.
  • The reliability does depend a lot on your neighbors
  • The biggest problem I’ve had is with IO (and high/unusable IO-waits). I’ve had IO operations blocked for 5 minutes.
  • However, their Support is really helpful, if you’re not a jerk nor expecting 99.999% uptime with SLA’s. And you can provide timestamps when issues occur, they will go out of their way to try to improve the situation.
  • I did have issues with their network 6 months ago, but they did some migrations and I haven’t noticed any issues.
  • You will want to look at their Fair-use document, to see what you’re allowed and not allowed to do with your bandwidth.
  • That said, I’m very satisfied with them… but, at this price point, I won’t be surprised if they “disappear in a year”.

    Just look at what VPS’ others are offering for 18 Eur and I feel I’m getting much more from DeluxHost.

    Those are crazy prices I can’t believe they can continue operating at those prices for long.
