Can you really get a VPS for only a dollar a month…and if you can, how reliable are the hosts?
Believe it or not – and you don’t have to believe us because we’ve got links for you! – there are a number of really excellent hosts who have VPSes in this price range.
We keep a curated list over here and it gets tons of views because these little systems are so handy.
And yes, little systems – don’t think you’re going to get an 8-core, 16GB box for $12 a year. But 512MB-1024MB (as of this writing) is quite reasonable, which is more than enough for a VPN, mail server, DNS server, monitoring end point, or many other uses.
And if you need just a little more, we have another list for you.
