It never ceases to amaze me how people overpay for their VPS systems.
Instead of getting a perfectly serviceable cheap VPS, they sign up at DigitalOcean or Amazon Lightsail and pay $5 a month or more.
Don’t overpay!
Our audience is global at while $5/month may be “just a cup of overpriced coffee” for someone living in the US or Europe, it can be significantly more of someone’s monthly hobby money in other parts of the world. It’s our mission to make sure you get the most for your dollar, regardless of what your local currency is.
Check out our excellent list of cheap VPS systems you can get for $1/month or less!

Myself is interested to find a cheap VPS. But I want a quality and reliability, too.
Expensive hostings are usually located in good date centres, which have few electricity sources backed up with powerful UPS-es and a fuel electric generator, and few internet connections. Some cheap hostings are located in good data centres, too. But does not some cheap hosting work on a simple computer in a stockroom, without UPS or at best with a weak UPS enough for no more than a half hour, with just a home internet connection? How to distinguish?
