RackNerd ❯ 4.5 GB KVM VPS (Black Friday 2024)
RackNerd is among the largest and most established providers of low-cost VPSs and dedicated servers, offering cloud services from a number of American data centers and from Strasbourg, France and Dublin, Ireland. They have been excellently reviewed for the reliability of their services and their competent customer support, but they are known for offering somewhat underpowered hardware particularly on their Intel CPUs. Other than that, RackNerd remains a reliable and recommended all-around choice.
VPS Description:
Overview: This RackNerd VPS is offered in New York, Dallas, Seattle, and San Jose. It runs on KVM virtualization with preconfigured Linux templates and supports custom ISO installations (Windows is not allowed by ToS). The system has 3 shared Xeon cores, 4 GB RAM, and 100 GB SSD storage, with a monthly bandwidth cap of 8.5 TB over a 1.0 Gbps port. IPv4 connectivity and rDNS are available, IPv6 is not, and TCP/UDP port 25 is open by default.
Viable Use Cases: Suitable for hosting small web servers, API endpoints, and lightweight database instances. It can run containerized applications using Docker, serve as a reverse proxy or load balancer, or operate a small version control system. The SSD enables fast transactional I/O, and the available bandwidth supports moderate data transfers.
Critical Considerations: Shared CPU cores can cause performance fluctuations under load, and the lack of IPv6 and BGP sessions must be considered for specific deployments.
