RackNerd, a standout in the LowEndBox community, is back with more exciting news! Following popular demand for an increased European presence, RackNerd has taken the leap and is now proudly offering KVM VPS services out of Strasbourg, France. Before you say it, I already know what you’re thinking. OVH? Nope – and that’s what makes RackNerd’s offers so special and unique. They are located within the European DataDock facility, which is nice to see, since there are not many France providers within the LowEndBox community that are using a different network than OVH. So with RackNerd, you get a better network, plus no history of datacenter fires, all at better value and pricing than that of an OVH network based offering! I call that a win-win :) 

RackNerd is leveraging a premium BGP network blend in their new France location. Strategically located along the primary European fiber optic route, the network blend consists of connectivity via Deutsche Telekom, Lumen, Twelve99, and major internet exchanges such as DE-CIX, AMS-IX, and LINX. We’re talking just 3ms to Frankfurt, ~8ms to Luxembourg, and a stunning ~10ms to both Amsterdam and Zurich. Even London is just a hop away with a latency of ~15ms.

Now, let’s talk about IPv6. From day one, RackNerd is fully supporting native IPv6 in its new location. Clients can open a support ticket after ordering to request up to 100 IPv6 addresses at absolutely no additional cost for any of the below plans.

These plans are set up automatically after payment is received. RackNerd is a registered business, with real office space (you can view their office photos here). They accept PayPal, Credit Cards, Alipay, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC as payment methods.

Here’s what they had to say, in their own words:

“RackNerd LLC introduces infrastructure stability and provides Dedicated Servers, Private Cloud solutions, DRaaS (Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service), flexible Colocation, Virtual Private Servers, Shared Hosting, Reseller Hosting and advanced DDoS Mitigation services — maintained by a team with decades of experience in managed services, datacenter operations, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
