I was searching this thread for an alternative to dreamhost which has unlimited monthly traffic. I found this Black Friday link from a year ago which still works!
https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/
Do I need unlimited? Probably not, but I was worried about going over.
out of curiosity, what applications/purpose could this serve for someone who just runs a basic homelab? intrigued!
Can someone provide some use cases for this? Curious how I can extend my homelab via this.
I use one of these VMs for two things. Monitoring my network back home using Uptime Kuma and Tailscale. As well as as a Tailscale exit node (essentially a VPN).
They have bandwidth cap though
Should be worth mentioning that a VPS is a shared instance in terms of CPU use. Hosting heavy things on it will only slow you down.
Wireguard tunnels and the like though should be good!
But is racknerd reliable?
I have a cheap vos from them for the last 10 months. If you want something reliable, this isn’t it. For example: in the last 3 weeks, the vps was rebooted 4 times. And when that happens, the vps is down for about 10 minutes before starting up again.
It not a problem for me, since it’s so cheap. Hope this info helps
Yes, i guess that is still good for the price Thank you!
ionos has a low tier starting at 2€/month for 10GB storage, 500 MB ram, 100 Mbit unlimited traffic.
I don’t know if they had any black Friday sales, that is just their base offering. I am very happy with the server I have.
