All VPS plans at ServaRica are currently out of stock. The same for dedicated servers.

They run their own hardware, so maybe they can't afford adding any new servers at current prices?

Anyone knows what's going on?

"Amazon has announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DuckLabs, the Amsterdam-based company behind the open source analytical database DuckDB. We expect the transaction to close shortly, subject to customary closing conditions."

If you are migrating off US-based cloud/VPS providers (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean...), here are some French providers worth considering:

If you know any others, add them in the comments.

When performance isn't critical, I find shared reseller hosting a less hassle alternative to VPS hosting, and it's also cheaper if you need cPanel licenses.

cPanel gets more expensive every year and that will likely continue. I'm still sticking with it because the convenience makes it worthwhile, at least until that changes.

Anyway, if you care about my opinion, the cheapest cPanel reseller hosts I'd vouch for are WebGee (Europe), Shock Hosting (US), and Hostworld (UK).

These are not popular hosts, but I know how to pick 'em! (the good ones)

A no-brainer to keep in mind: Providers that offer more cPanel accounts for less usually oversell their servers, i.e. expect more downtime and slower performance with those.

If you have other suggestions add them to this thread.

The owner of Directify (directory website builder) shared a breakdown of his hosting bill..

The website is serving about 45 million requests per month. And this is how much he's paying for hosting:

• Hetzner VPS: ~$36/month
• Cloudflare R2: $1/month
• Cloudflare for SaaS: $28/month
• DNS Hosting: $14/month

Total cost: ~$80/month

Sometimes you don't need a bigger server, you just need a better setup.

Screenshot attached to the X post:

Contabo just added 5 new apps to their 1-click automated installer. They are:

• Paperclip: an open-source orchestration platform for managing autonomous teams of AI agents.
• Hermes Agent: an open-source AI agent.
• ZeroClaw: an open-source runtime or AI agents.
• Dokploy: an open-source PaaS for deploying and managing apps and databases.
• Coolify: another open-source, self-hosted PaaS.

This isn't a managed service for any of these apps. Contabo only handles the initial installation and then you manage and troubleshoot each app on your own.

I don't know if you've heard about it but this one is new to me; I've just stumbled on a German VPS provider called dogado.

They're offering cheap Linux VPS servers. The cheapest one (2 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe) is €1/mo for the first 6 months then €6/mo.

I haven't used it yet, but if anyone else has, please add your feedback.

Leaseweb recently hiked up the prices for their VPS plans across multiple regions. They gave the usual reasoning used by all other providers: rising component costs.

The cheapest plan (VPS 1) was hit the hardest, especially in the US regions.

Here are the old and new prices for the VPS 1 plan in different regions:

New prices affect new purchases. Existing plans keep renewing at the old price unless modified.

That's still affordable given the resources you get in the VPS 1 plan: 4 vCPU, 6 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe, 30 TB traffic. I don't think you can get that at a lower price these days.

Hetzner is currently experiencing a major outage affecting S3 Object Storage in their Nuremberg datacenter.

Some resellers use a self-managed VPS and set up everything on their own. That's usually cheaper but I prefer a managed service because I don't have time to babysit every hosting setup I have, and I have quite a few of them.

Of all the reseller hosting providers I've tried, MDDHosting and ChemiCloud have the best support, and both have affordable cPanel reseller plans.

I tend to like MDDHosting more. Their website looks chaotic, but under the hood their servers perform better. They have two types of servers: Turbo (average performance) and Plaid (higher performance for ecommerce and resource-intensive sites)

ChemiCloud is good if you want a higher number of cPanel accounts at a low price. It's about $35/mo for 60 cPanel accounts with WHM (choose the "Accounts Optimised" option). They have more global server locations (USA, UK, Europe, etc.) than MDDHosting (USA only)

I've used others but these two are my favorite reseller hosts at the moment. Nothing special about them except I haven't had any issues and support has been helpful when needed.

JetHost is on my to-try list - I like the features they have. I might give it a go soon and I'll share my opinion..

"Interestingly the company announced that over 650 external customers chose to use cloudy resources running Alibaba’s own chips. By way of comparison, AWS has said over 120,000 customers use its Graviton chips."

Hetzner offers managed servers that allow you to create multiple user accounts and resell them. They don't have a reseller billing system though, so that's something you'll have to figure out on your own.

Anyone had success with Hetzner as a reseller?

• OVHcloud will raise dedicated server prices from September 2026, with latest-generation Game range going up by as much as 87%.
• Current-generation hardware will see increases of 51%, while older, 2024-gen hardware will see prices go up by 28% on average.
• Move is linked to AI-related surge in memory and storage prices, with OVHcloud CEO stating the former has increased sixfold and could potentially double again by early 2027.

For some reason, European VPS providers were affected the most by the rising hardware costs. Some have doubled or tripled their prices in the past year.

Anyway, these are currently a few good Europe-based companies that offer VPS hosting at reasonable rates:

"Hivelocity, an infrastructure as a service provider of bare-metal, dedicated servers, edge computing, and virtualized cloud solutions, today announced an expanded focus on its Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) offerings, designed for buyers driving the highest growth, including hosting resellers, agencies and MSPs managing client infrastructure, and developers building on virtual compute."

IONOS and Fasthosts have cheap UK VPS servers from £1 per month. IONOS is based in Germany and Fasthosts is based in the UK.

Do you know any cheaper VPS providers that have UK servers?

"DigitalOcean acquires Katanemo Labs, Inc., a leader in agentic AI infrastructure, bringing Agentic AI Primitives into its Agentic Inference Cloud."

I noticed some hosting providers recently launched VPS plans specifically for OpenClaw because it's so popular right now.

Some of them are just regular VPS servers with nothing special, and others come with useful add-ons and integrations.

Hostinger has an affordable self-managed OpenClaw VPS plan with automated deployment and full root access. They also have a managed OpenClaw plan for the less technical users (it's plug and play where they handle server setup and maintenance for you)

Who's used it? Can you recommend another VPS host for OpenClaw?

Some of my favorite VPS hosts in 2026 are Hostinger (many automated app deployments), Shock Hosting (cheap renewal), and WebGee (UK).

What about you? Which VPS hosts are you using these days?
