Good, cheap VPS hosting for 10$ USD or under?

ATTENTION TO MODS:

apparently people think this is a debating thread and I found a vps so close this thread please, kthxbye.

Was looking at the specs to price of chicagovps and thought it looked good till @Quackster posted that.
Saved my money as I was looking into buying a vps myself haha.

I wouldn't go with chicagovps. There staff support is appalling and they have there implemented server panel that doesn't work. There servers go down at least 2 times a week and they are always doing pointless maintenance. Waited 3 days for my server to be moved to a new node.

I suggest that you save the money you have and buy a better VPS from OVH or somewhere when you can properly afford it.

I wouldn't recommend this, because when I owned one, it ran good for a few months and then it would randomly go offline for a few hours without notice, sometimes the panel wouldn't work and I'd get timed out on the SSH client.

You were DDoSed, nullrouted, and had no firewall running on your VPS. That is not their fault.

If you need support on an unmanaged VPS, then you probably shouldn't use a VPS in the first place. I have one VPS with them and it has only been down twice since I got it in March of 2013. The first time was partly their fault due to an exploit in SolusVM that did not get patched within a reasonable time frame. The other was caused by me that resulted in a kernel panic.

root@auto [~]# uptime
18:38:59 up 108 days, 17:31, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

And it is only that low because I had performed a kernel update and rebooted it myself. I have another free VPS from ASO that has great uptime and has only been down once in a year, which was a failing to boot message due to outdated kernel on their HVM.

The only reason I needed to contact support was the fact my server is down :/

To be honest a Cheap VPS will just get booted or lag if you want your Retro to be a success then you must get a good quality VPS... I don't recommend EpicHosts as your retro will not be good if you buy from them... XZNetworks is ok I would say. If you where making a retro I would get 2 GIG VPS and R63B as R63 is getting outdated and boring. I recommend if your making a R63B Retro you should use Mango Emulator (Edited by Sledmore) or Silverware... Mercury Emu and Plus Emu is very buggy. R63 you should use Phoenix emu or Goldtree emu

Hostingabove.com is perfect $14 but I can ask them to get you a $10 if you join in.

Hmmm well if you think about it retros if your lucky only get maximum of 100 users so no need for 6 gigs

The IP was never made public.

 

[Ecko]

That is why there is console access.

The IP was never made public.

Then I wonder how you got DDoSed and nullrouted. A DC would not nullroute an IP for no reason.

The fact is that I didn't and their servers are shit.

So to sum it up, you do not know how to administrate a server and blame your provider. Sounds reasonable

Yes it's my fault for working on a project privately and the servers randomly go down. /s

Your fault for not setting up a firewall, then wondering how you get nullrouted after being DDoSed. What if you were DDoSed incidentally where the person mistyped the IP address?

How is it my fault that someone 'accidently' DDoSed my server? That's out of my control, also a firewall doesn't mitigate DDoS attacks (my server would still be hit offline).
