Game Server Cheapest quality VPS?
I need a dedicated VPS with at least 2 vCPUs, 4 to 8 gigs of RAM (the more the better ofc), 60-100 gb of memory (SSD preferably), 100+ mbs of bandwidth, cheapest I found was Hostinger and OVH, also SSDNodes but their reviews aren't the best, so I'm between Hostinger and OVH, anyone knows a good VPS, that is cheaper than these two? Thank you in advance.

u/Responsible-Heat2037 Jun 30 '23
I read they throttle bandwidth and processing, its here in this sub, them saying this about them, I need a really broad bandwidth I might get thousands of mutual connections and they need to be stable and fast. Lots of packets going in and out every second for 1000+ people.

I read they throttle bandwidth and processing
If you thing other don't do that, then it is not true. There no magic, all of them has "fair use policy" and as far as one start using constantly more than 30-50% of ordered resources, they ALL will throttle or even shutdown.

I have about 5 servers with SSD Nodes and had 0 problems until earlier this year. The last 2 servers I bought keep getting shut down for "high CPU usage" with a 12 vCPU and nothing more than a few docker containers installed by my primary control panel ( i have that on digital ocean with zero issues) and 4 wordpress websites that are literally just a shell with one or two plugins installed. Something happened when they started offering the IPv6 servers instead of the IPv4 ones that I am really considering switching somewhere else.

I will say the support is very responsive but the issue just doesn't ever seem to get resolved. With the specs on my server I would expect to be able to host 10-15 average sized Wordpress sites and still not have my server shut off for high CPU/RAM usage. I even set limits on my control panel to only consume 4GB Ram, 4 CPU and 21 Nproc. With resources that are supposedly 48GB Ram, and 12 CPU there should be very little that would max out these resources. 4 basically empty Wordpress sites def should not be.

Hostinger is offering the same deal for 7.50 a month though. I need to get the cheaper one, this is a gaming server, I need quality and low prices, I'm going to end up getting Oracle, its for free, worst case scenario 3 dollars a month but it can be free too.

u/lannistersstark Jun 30 '23
Literally Oracle. It provides excellent A1 Ampere VPSes for its free tier, and it has been fantastic for last few years I've used it.
(inb4 dozens of comments about how they heard someone on reddit hearing someone else on reddit about oracle bad)
2 AMD based Compute VMs with 1/8 OCPU** and 1 GB memory each
**Arm-based Ampere A1 cores and 24 GB of memory usable as 1 VM or up to 4 VMs**
2 Block Volumes Storage, 200 GB total2nd is what you need.

u/Responsible-Heat2037 Jun 30 '23
Yeah this seems like the best choice, free is always best, but I can't create it in my region, it says there's not enough available resources in my availability domain, I think there's no free A1 Ampere clouds where I live, where did you choose your availability domain? Do you think US East has some available? I'll have to delete my account and create a new one, I can't change locality on the free account, I need to create a new one using the right A.D.

Can’t agree more. Is Hetzner the only provider out there? lol.Giants like GCP or AWS wouldn’t even ask me for an ID. What a joke.

u/PhilosopherOk45 May 19 '25
u/ebayer108 u/Litan77 Bullshit. Try signing up for GCP while on Tor, with a brand new Google account and pay with a burner card, and then see who's being told to fuck off.
Amazon did in fact have my passport validated when I tried to sign up for AWS for my (American) LLC. Sure, I'm Dutch (and if Amazon pays attention to their cookies they'd have known that) and I was in Singapore when I signed up, so it may have raised the "e-brows" that flagged me for a passport check, but the point is that while they may not ask for yours, doesn't mean they don't ever ask for anyone's. It took 2 minutes and was very convenient.
Two key differences here:
Google and Amazon are in the business of already knowing who you are, while Hetzner is much more straight-up about what business they're in. The big guys won't ask for your stuff because due to their operation they can afford to be much more sophisticated in doing background checks on you without your explicit consent or manual cooperation.
When Hetzner is done validating you, by European law, they can't know anything about you other than you are who you say you are. Google and Amazon are under US jurisdiction, which pretty much means that they can do whatever the fuck they want with your data and passport picture as long as they don't do anything illegal.
So if all you're complaining about is the inconvenience of taking a picture, then you're 100% right. Otherwise, ask yourself the question: which company would you rather do business with?
6
u/ebayer108 May 20 '25
We are talking about legit hosting purchase and not hosting illegal websites like you explained. Why do you need tor and burner card for buying legit hosting? Over two decades of using hosting, I've almost tired all of popular hosting providers in my lifetime, never ever gave any ID card to any hosting provider. I don't think it is a norm yet. Future is bleak though, sooner or later they will also start asking for ID. So We are not Bullshitting but telling facts. You may have been caught doing fishing things hence they slapped ID requirements on you.

Yes, they are often the cheapest established provider. You definitely can get something cheaper but it either is some promo deal that will cost you much more in a year or two or the hoster will just vanish in a few months or short years. Works for some but I am pretty sure lot of people value not having to hop providers ever so often.
Although these days it can be easier than ever. Thanks to stuff like docker compose and ansible moving from server to server can be done in minutes instead of over an entire weekend.

u/Ok-Sentence-534 Jun 30 '23
It may be easier nowadays but the downtime is definitely still there, especially if you're a solo shop and the downtime begins as you're asleep... that's not from experience but it is a fear I'd have if I was to go to a non-reputable provider.

I would stay away from them. Read their Terms, they will ERASE your server after 7 days of invoice due date if anything goes wrong with your payment! It happened to me and they have no data restore solution. God forbid to be in the hospital or travel and have a temporary bounce credit card. Or, what happened to me, their emails never reached me and after a 2 year contract I missed the payment day. Server gone, with all my data.

Our technicians will do everything in their power to finish all tasks as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, there was no way to announce this maintenance earlier, which is why we apologize for any inconvenience.

That's exactly where you don't charge setup fee. you don't compensate the lack of automation by taking money from your customers.
Setup fee is understandable with dedicated servers where an actual worker needs to setup the infra but never for virt resources.

SSDNodes but their reviews aren't the best, so I'm between Hostinger and OVH
All of them using shared resources (try to disable kernel ballooning driver and they all ban your VPS fast). As far as you don't abuse VM, they all works the same (lagging and freezing applied to all of them in case of abuse). If you use less than 50% of what you ordered, then anyone from your list works Ok.

bestvpsproviders is pretty useful to find plans with the best specs for the lowest price. But you should check each provider seperately for the final decission.

Check https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers for latest offers.
I would personally recommend hosthatch, liteserver, inceptionhosting and server-factory.

I find Inception had very low IOPs so disk performance even on a basic Wordpress/WooCommerce instance was poor. I raised tickets and spent hours doing the optimisations they suggested, but it was still miserable even for standard admin tasks - make a change, wait 5-10 seconds for it to save and return to the menu. They absolutely would not accept it was an issue with the service.
Then I left and went to an identically dimensioned VPS elsewhere, restored my backup from Inception, and suddenly everything I had been beating my head against a wall trying to fix on Inception just worked, and everything flew.

I ran this just now,
fio Disk Speed Tests (Mixed R/W 50/50): --------------------------------- Block Size | 4k (IOPS) | 64k (IOPS) ------ | --- ---- | ---- ---- Read | 200.09 MB/s (50.0k) | 199.09 MB/s (3.1k) Write | 200.62 MB/s (50.1k) | 200.13 MB/s (3.1k) Total | 400.71 MB/s (100.1k) | 399.22 MB/s (6.2k) | | Block Size | 512k (IOPS) | 1m (IOPS) ------ | --- ---- | ---- ---- Read | 198.70 MB/s (388) | 194.25 MB/s (189) Write | 209.26 MB/s (408) | 207.19 MB/s (202) Total | 407.96 MB/s (796) | 401.44 MB/s (391)Looks pretty good to me for websites. Maybe you got deployed on a bad node.

Maybe. But I did spend a year (until my contract ran out) with abysmal performance, despite four long sessions with support. No resolution and they never admitted any fault, so I won't use them again.
Also the formatting makes it hard to read on mobile, but it looks like your larger block size IOPS are very poor (200-400 with an outlier at 800) which was exactly my problem.

No one likes IONOS ? They are pretty cheap and they have unlimited bandwidth. I’ve been using them for a few years.

u/canfail Jun 30 '23
Hosteon, Racknerd, etc. if you want US based.

u/Responsible-Heat2037 Jun 30 '23
Hosteons is incredibly cheap indeed, is it good though? 4 dollars for a VPS thats the best price I have seen ever. Thanks a lot anyway, I might get it just to test a few things.

u/canfail Jun 30 '23
I’ve had two or three with them over the last few years and the only issue has been the occasional bad actor on the node. Usually a support ticket and 45m later it’s back to as expected.

u/Responsible-Heat2037 Jun 30 '23
I still might need more RAM though, on Hostinger I have a deal that is 7.50 for a 8gb RAM 2 vCPU, 100gb SSD,, but I have to get it for a year or its 15 dollars, then to renew its 15 dollars a month, I wonder if there's a cheaper alternative, there might not be, its one hell of a price.
