Welcome, Cloudblast!

Besides having a really cool name, they’ve also got some blow-your-socks off deals for us.  How does a 4GB VPS for €4.03/month strike you?  What if I told you it also came with unlimited bandwidth?  And a 10Gbps uplink?  And IPv6?

Go get your socks, we’ll wait.

These offers are available in Amsterdam, Utah (West Coast USA), and Hong Kong, with the latter limited to 1TB bandwidth.

Cloudblast is a high performance yet affordable cloud VPS hosting. We offer prepaid and hourly billed servers with automatic backups in Netherlands, USA, Hong Kong and in the near future, also UK.  Through our panel, you can deploy, delete, resize, and rebuild your servers anytime, giving you maximum billing flexibility. Enjoy discounted VPS with a 10Gbit network and no commitment, billed per hour.

Questions?  Ping @cloudblast on LowEndTalk or read more on their web site (including their terms).  They accept credit cards, crypto (including XMR), and other methods.

As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, raindog308 runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
