Good work Low End Box!
Can I stream on facebook?
RackNerd’s VPS would be great for bypassing the GFW to visit twitter, Facebook, Youtube and such. The servers are located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles with excellent connectivity to and from that region.

I just tried HostMem and after registering account, HostMem showed that $9.99 deal is all sold out. Probably need to update the page so that people does not have to create account just to see that the deal is sold out.
Had the pleasure of trying out the RackNerd $24/y offering. 500mbps uplink, outperforms standard GCE instances @ $24/m on everything except disks, probably runs on some slow HDDs. Great offering still and can easily work around the HDD bottleneck if you need better IO. Support was also top notch, answering low prio questions in under 10 mins.
Hello Solinfra_io — thank you so much for hosting with RackNerd! It’s great to hear that you’re happy with our offer and have had a pleasant experience with our support team and overall performance.
We do use enterprise hardware and have deployed our nodes utilizing Exos Enterprise Hard Drives; we would love to dig into the node you’re on. Just send me an email dustin@racknerd.com.
We’re sincerely appreciative of your business. Thank you!
Hi Dustin
I’m aware this might sound a little silly but is this promo “LEB New Website Special – 1.5GB KVM” for a VPS service or just a “Web Hosting” service?
thanks!
Hi suszyQ – thanks for considering RackNerd as your provider. No question is silly, we’re all learning.
LEB New Website Special – 1.5GB KVM is our VPS product line, if you’re looking for a ready to go web hosting with control panel, we can also help! Just send me an email
and I’ll be sure to provide you with a deal :)
i’m sooo in love with racknerd.com! I didn’t believe it at the first, but I was like WOOW!!! plus with their supporters (customer support) was so amazing and fast!.

A million thank you to lowendbox.com and racknerd.com for all info. and services!

These are some really great deals.
Can you explain the difference between PURE SSD RAID-10 and SSD CACHED RAID-10?
PURE SSD RAID-10
LEB Special 1GB KVM VPS
https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=1922&pid=358
SSD CACHED RAID-10
LEB Special 1.5GB
https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=1922&pid=135
SSD CACHED RAID-10
LEB Special 2.5GB
https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=1922&pid=137
SSD cache means the primary RAID storage is using spinning HDD and using an SSD for cache.
Pure SSD is where all drives are SSD based and there are no spinning drives.
Hello Ernie. Faster SSD Cache or Pure SSD?
Thank you for your answer
Generally pure SSD would be faster. Theres no spinning drives involved.
Is all LEB special, and exclusive is promo for 1 year? Or for every year? And how about ipv6?
Hi Andrian Rahardja — renewal rates from RackNerd would be the same exact as you paid at sign up :)
Native IPv6 is available in Los Angeles, and for any other location (for our VPS product line) we recommend using tunneled IPv6 such as tunnelbroker.net.
We look forward to working with you.
Dear Dustin, thanks for the replay, i already bought the vps 2.5gb, and racknerd support is awesome, for the ipv6, i dont really care to much, since i already knew that my country still dont support ipv6 yet, by the way im still newbie in vps thing, do you have free ebook or blog or any other tutorial other thank racknerd youtube channel?
Hi
Thank You for signing up with RackNerd! Happy to hear that our service/support has been smooth. We do have a blog, that has tons of cool content https://blog.racknerd.com/ — be sure to check it out.
We are also open to ideas, so if you have content ideas/tutorial suggestions, be sure to email dustin@racknerd.com and I’ll share them with the team so that we can quickly get them live. Our goal is to continue creating content, for our YouTube channel, blog, and contributing articles to communities like LowEndBox.
Thank You!
Hai Dustin, could you please replay my ticket? It’s weird it has been 3 hours but no replay. Im so satisfied with Racknerd, so anything happen? Why is suddenly there is no replay?
Hi Andrian Rahardja — happy to hear that you’re happy with the level of service we provide. I did a search for your ticket, and realize the timezone difference is what caused the delay in response from our sales team. Our sales team works from 9 AM to 6 PM PST. And oftentimes, they’re checking sales tickets remotely as our goal is to provide speedy assistance.
If you need anything else, be sure to let me know — I’ll be here to help dustin@racknerd.com
Apologize, i didin’t realize at the first time, my all problem has been solved through racknerd support team, long live Racknerd, by the way is there a way that i can reach you via email or etc
Hi Adrian, no worries at all – we’re here to help. Our support team is 24×7, so you can expect speedy response times.
My direct e-mail is dustin@racknerd.com if ever needed. I’ll be here to help any way I can :)
The 2.5GB RackNerd deal is insanely good! I feel almost bad, like I’m ripping them off.
Thank you so much for this low-cost, high-quality service. It’s really helpful for open source developers like myself who want quality hosting for side projects, but aren’t making any money from them to offset the cost.
Hi Jared, happy to have you with us :)
It is our goal to expand, alongside you. We sincerely value your business and are happy to hear that our service level, pricing, and stability have been more than satisfactory.
If you ever need anything, we’ll be here to help.
Maybe you are interested in a bigger VPS specification. Information for you.

Is there anyone offering a $2 VPS in the UK?
Hi Charlie, here is the list of recent offers in the UK: https://lowendbox.com/tag/uk/
I had a couple of VPSs from different providers. RackNerd VPSs performed better than all and I ended up replacing all of them with RackNerd. Thanks Dustin and team.
Thanks for sharing your experience Shadrack! Glad it was positive.
I’m curious about this could someone give me an example usage case for a vps with 20GB/40GB storage? What are they used for?
Some uses would be: application hosting, vpn serving, dev box, small file storage, etc
I personally use it as IPV4 proxy into IPV6 network because not all networks support IPV6
Racknerd offers the slowed network out of them all. Just use the test files in reality its way worse than others. When i use ftp to transfer files i get around 140KB/s… When asked for help on support im told its the problem with my isp… I tried other services and their test files achieve 2MB+/s
Hi Justin — Thank You for choosing RackNerd as your provider!
The good news is, all of our KVM VPS services are deployed on 1Gbps network ports. Could it be possible you may have picked a server location that is un-optimal (in terms of network routes) to your location? We offer KVM VPS’s out of a number of different locations, including but not limited to: Los Angeles, San Jose, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Ashburn, and Seattle.
Since it is a known fact that geographic proximity plays a role in internet speeds, the general rule of thumb is to pick the server location closest to the majority of your audience. Different ISP’s can also react/respond differently to network routing depending on location and peering.
Please feel free to e-mail me at dustin@racknerd.com with a bi-directional MTR, and I’d be happy to look closer into this, or perhaps look into accommodating a location change request for you if desired.
Today i was looking for other providers because your vps network speed was simply…inadequate to say the least.
Did some testing and found other good providers (not as good in price or ram or cpu but… didnt have much of a choice).
For the last time decided to check your offer here on LEB and try your test files and i was able to achieve well over 200Mbps even tho i live in Europe. I thought since i left that post, telling how slow your networks are you decided to cheat and move your servers elsewhere so that they would look good in case someone tested them.
However i was pleasantly surprised when i connected to my vps via sftp and tried to upload random 100MB file and achieved 6MB/s (thats a HUGE step up from 140KB/s and while 6MB/s is nothing to brag about for the price its SUPERB speed). Also when i tried to connect via putty it connected so fast, server became very responsive.
Also decided to do the same testing with the server in LA (i have two vps with you) and it achieved 5MB/s (which is again nothing special but for the price and compared to what it was before its SUPERB)
Did you guys found the problem ? Or is this temporary and in a few days it will be back to being sluggish ?
I am planning on hosting few decent traffic websites and it would be great if performance would stay the same i wouldnt have to look for other provider.
Hi Justin – no recent changes were made on our end as a result of your post, unless you contacted our support department directly with MTR’s and they found potential route adjustments to make?
Without looking at your account in specific, it’s really hard for me to say. If you can share with me a ticket ID or some way I can look up your account, I’d be happy to advise in further detail. Otherwise, if you haven’t contacted our support department and no changes were made on our side, then it could be possible this was a temporary ISP routing issue on your end which has since subsided or been rerouted against a different network carrier by Noction.
We’re available 24×7 if you ever need anything, feel free to reach out via a support ticket.
The $2/mo RackNerd specials take you to a page that says “out of stock”. Guess deal no longer available.
Still other stock available. cheapvps.my.id/racknerd. Thank You
Racknerd seems out of stock.
Are you going to update availability?
Hi George, great catch!
Our promotions here have been quite popular, and we’re thankful for the community! We couldn’t have grown as fast, nor have sold out many of our products/locations without this community.
We’re working on adding more inventory, as I type this :) If you find a particular promotion out of stock, that you’ve wanted just e-mail dustin@racknerd.com and I’ll personally inform you once stock has been replenished and or provide you with the latest, and most cost effective solution.
Additional stock has been added :)
CloudServer seemed comparable to Racknerd in price so I gave them a try. But I wish I would have stuck with Racknerd.
I didn’t realize there is no control panel so you have no way to re-install or change your OS, etc.
You live and learn I guess :-(
You can reinstall your VPS with the rebuild function. If you have more questions please contact support.
RackNerd have 4GB ram offer?
There is a 3.5GB option here: https://lowendbox.com/blog/racknerd-1-gb-ram-kvm-vps-14-98-year-and-more-available-in-multiple-locations/
LosAngelesVPS link doesn’t work any more – https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/178018/losangelesvps-acquired-by-desivps
Mark, thanks for bringing this to our attention, we will replace them.

Any chance of getting a deal on additional Drive space – $1 a Gig, minimum 10 seems high
I know there was the Hostnamaste’s cheap VPS Plans added here but where are they?
2023 May and I’ve got no code working for a cheap vps under $2/m
Funny that my ip got blocked by portal.dedipath.com but not dedipath.com
Cloudflare Ray ID: 7c19e8caaebc01ac
Which package did you try and purchase?
Server Host no longer working
I tried the Server Host $2 deal, but had to get a refund. The network was amazingly slow, like 10 Mbit. GB scores were crap, as you’d expect, but I’m not going to wait 10 minutes for an apt update.
No problem with the refund, so I’m not unhappy. Easy come, easy go!
