Too many of these low end resellers are unreliable, root your VM and unprofesionally fight with customers in the forums. They are children. Go with one that owns the hardware. | ||||||||

Yeah. Back in ~2011, when I was in high school, I used to sell these kinds of VMs as a host and advertised on LowEndBox. Literally as a minor. I don't really trust any small time host with my data. Meanwhile I recently migrated a $5 DigitalOcean VM that's been running flawlessly for over 6 years. It was in dire need of an Ubuntu upgrade. I expect this one to keep going for just as long! | ||||||||

No idea why you're being downvoted. I've bought el cheapo LowEndTalk-style VPS specials on two or three occasions and have gotten what I paid for each time. They either sold a microscopic slice of some over-provisioned 15-year-old POS or outright lied to me about specs then argued until I did a chargeback to recover my money. For app hosting I'd either 1) use cloudflared and a cheap Lenovo Tiny box to host from my house, 2) write something serverless that runs on Cloudflare Workers, or 3) use a real host that isn't 18 months old and run by hucksters in a race to the bottom. | ||||||||
