Community provider Qeru posted an awesome offer on LowEndTalk. Check this out:
- 2 Xeon E5 vCores
- 3GB RAM
- 40GB RAID 10 SSD
- 5000GB Bandwidth @ 1 Gbps
- 1 IPv4 Address & /64 IPv6 Block
- $3.00/mo for six months, then $4/month afterwards
- You’ll need the coupon code in the thread
Service is in Dallas, at the Flexential datacenter. Test IPs and info is in the thread.
This offer would be a steal at twice the price. And get this: they will double your bandwidth if you follow instructions in the thread. 10TB a month?!? Wow.
For comparison, DigitalOcean will sell you a VPS with only 6TB of bandwidth…for only $96 per month. Ugh. Don’t even ask how much one with 10TB is – you’re into four figures!
Some more details they provided:
We have 10+ Tier 1 networks and 5000+ peers via our datacenter’s upstreams Unitas and Flexential, which include peering with major US and Global ISPs such as Comcast, Spectrum, Verizon, Airtel, Telstra, and more.
All Qeru VPS plans include: Dallas location, KVM virtualization, Virtualizor panel, 1 Tbps DDoS protection, and a LOW CPU oversubscription rate (you only share vCores with 2-3 customers).
Qeru also posted a larger plan:
- 4 Xeon E5 vCores
- 6GB RAM
- 80GB RAID 10 SSD
- 7500GB Bandwidth @ 1 Gbps
- 1 IPv4 Address & /64 IPv6 Block
- $6/month for six months and then $8/month after that
- See the thread for the coupon code
And they have even bigger plans on their web site.
Be sure to read Qeru’s FAQ and AUP. They take credit cards via Stripe or PayPal.
Sounds very tasty! If this has whet your appetite for a cheap VPS system, head over to the thread and jump on this because it’s only available until June 30th, 2023!

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308

Contabo gives you a far crazier deal. For $6.50 / mo (pay in euros and you’ll get far better conversion), you get:
– 200GB ssd, or **2.5x** the value of of Qeru
– 8GB ram, or **1.3x** the value of Qeru
– _32TB_ bandwidth, or **3.2x** the value of Qeru
– 4 vCPUs (hard to compare)
Caveat: 200 Mbit/s bandwidth
Tried it. VPS already crashed in the first month. VPS control panel will not bring server back up. Was running nothing but Ubuntu 22 and a single low usage icecast instance. For a server to crash with barely anything running just isn’t a good sign so I cancelled the service before the second billing cycle.
Interesting. I’ve never experienced any of these issues, and host two pretty performance-demanding game servers on there. I have however experienced similar issues to what you are describing, multiple times over multiple hosts, but it turned out to be an issue with ubuntu. I don’t know about your case but interesting to keep in mind 👍
