Linode but cheaper? US+EU High RAM

jgillich

Looking for a provider with both EU and US locations that is cheaper than Linode.

• 4GB for something around $15
• KVM or Xen
• Flat rate traffic, throttling would be fine

BuyVM would be perfect, but the KVM Slices are US only so far. I've also been looking at OVH, but it's not clear to me whether the VPS line is available in the Canadian data center. Even after adding a credit card, they won't let me create anything without adding $10.

Yes it is.

No idea what you are talking about, just go here: https://www.ovh.com/us/vps/vps-ssd.xml and click Order now (assuming you're from the US yourself, else use your regional OVH website).

I don't know what's going on with the control panel, but it doesn't let me do anything:

No default payment method has been selected. Go to the billing section to select one or add a new method.

I have a credit card in the billing section with the status "confirmed", so yea. Maybe I should contact their support about this.

But great to hear that BuyVM has launched in the EU as well. I think that's what I'll be going with! Thanks to both of you.

Definitely +1 for buyvm! Got 3 VZ services with them and they're solid and support is always faster than I'd expect for the price I pay. Their reputation on here is definitely well deserved.

If you'd bothered checking, you would have seen that since this weekend BuyVM slices are also available in LU.

Thanks for the interest

I love me some slices.
