RackNerd ❯ 2 GB KVM VPS (New Year 2025)
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 hosted in the U.S. on KVM virtualization. It provides preconfigured Linux templates with support for custom ISO installations (Windows is not allowed by Tos). The system is provisioned with 3 shared Intel cores, 2 GB RAM, and 40 GB SSD storage, with a monthly bandwidth cap of 3.5 TB over a 1.0 Gbps port. Connectivity is offered via IPv4 only; port 25 is open by default, rDNS is enabled, and cryptocurrencies are accepted for payment.
Potential Use Cases: The VPS is suitable for deploying lightweight server applications. It can host a web server using Nginx or Apache for small-scale dynamic sites, serve as a backend API node with frameworks such as Flask or Express, or operate as a DNS resolver with BIND or Unbound. It may also be configured as a Git server using Gitea or used for basic monitoring services.
Critical Considerations: The shared CPU cores may lead to performance variability under sustained heavy load. With 2 GB RAM and 40 GB SSD storage, the system is constrained to modest workloads, and the lack of IPv6 connectivity must be evaluated.
