Bandwidth: Any
Port Speed: Any

DDoS Protection: Doesn't matter

Number of IPs: 4

Location: North America

This is for personal web, database, email and backup hosting. I've had a similar package (better spec, same price) at the same provider since 2016, but it might be time to make a change.

EDIT: I totally missed the 4x IPv4 requirement mentioned in the OP. That does make a big difference!

Leaving my suggestions here for posterity anyway ...

Note: @SmartHost may have an unadvertised KVM resource pool with 5 IPv4 and 2 GB ram for about $7/m - comes with 50 GB SSD storage but might be your best bet (for KVM) at least as far as the multiple IP address requirement goes. Very reliable in my experience.

Also @HostDoc and NexusBytes (@seriesn) offer KVM resource pools - I'm guessing these may be significantly more than $7/m for the requested specs unless there is some sales event. See for example: https://kvm.doctor/cloud/ and https://nexusbytes.com/cart.php?gid=18

For OpenVZ resource pools might look at AnyNode and ImpactVPS - I don't have personal experience with any of these OpenVZ products.

hello @edgecase - it seems likely that $84 per year (or $7 monthly) should yield quite a few decent options

Though that 100 GB SSD might make it tricky for "standard" packages - perhaps check with providers such as @HostDoc or NexusBytes (@seriesn) or @freerangecloud for custom deals

For example, I see currently on HostDoc flash sale page

• £55/year KVM with 5 GB ram and 100 GB SSD in Kansas City, Missouri
• £45/year KVM with 3 GB ram and 70 GB NVMe in Dallas Texas

the Dallas deal comes with 4 vcores (3.4 GHz, I believe on Xeon Gold CPU) and you may be able to arrange more storage either on HDD and/or a separate storage node in Dallas. I have a VPS on the Xeon Gold node and ... it is nice. Highly recommended.

DrServer (@Radi) also does a solid 4 GB ram KVM with 90 GB SSD in Dallas (promo code "LET-It-GO" - see recent offer https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/161014/drserver-net-big-discounts-on-latest-g10-hp-servers/p1) for $7 monthly

I also like a similar $7/m deal from CrownCloud (@SpeedBus) in Los Angeles - 4 GB ram KVM, but with 60 GB SSD - might check to see what they can do to accommodate 100 GB storage requirement. And they offer a discount for annual and semi-annual payments.

@SmartHost has been doing an 8 GB ram KVM 40 GB NVMe deal for about $7/m in several US locations - they offer a pretty wide range of packages, so should be worth putting in a sales ticket about options with 100 GB SSD.

if you can get a BuyVM (@Francisco) 2 GB slice in Las Vegas for $7/m then can add (expandable) 256 GB block storage for $1.25/m to the included 40 GB SSD. Slightly over your budget but you get what you pay for, and room to grow. Might do well to check https://buyvmstock.com on the 1st and 7th of each month for availability.

LetBox (@Key900) might have something suitable in Los Angeles - they've got the expandable block storage setup on top of NVMe root partition, with good prices.

@freerangecloud sometimes offers custom packages - US locations in Fremont California and Ashburn Virginia. Not sure what they'll want for the 100 GB SSD but would give them a ping and see what's up.

Wishosting (@exception0x876) currently offers a KVM with 2 GB ram and 100 GB SSD but just 1 vcore (however note "unlimited" Xeon E5 2670v2) for about $5/m in Kansas City Missouri (see https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=2 "KVM SSD US")

and for OpenVZ ...

AlphaVPS.bg (@AlexBarakov) has some offers in Los Angeles (however all with less than 100 GB SSD - not sure if any adjustment might be possible)

and @HostEONS in Los Angeles and New York (OpenVZ and KVM, the OpenVZ packages offer larger SSD - again all listed are less than 100 GB but might check if some other options exist)

Probably a few more decent possibilities you'll find in your budget - these are some that I have personal experience with to recommend checking out.

Happy hunting!

EDIT2:

I noticed one more interesting OpenVZ offer, hopefully it may still be available from @TNAHosting in Chicago:

https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/162370/happy-new-year-from-tnahosting-29-dual-xeon-dedi-ssd-hdd-openvz-deals/p1

SSD OpenVZ VPS
* 8GB RAM
* 100GB RAID10 SSD 
* 2x vCPU
* 1 IPv4 + IPv6 Available
* 10TB Bandwidth
* $20.20/year

Have not yet tried them myself but they've been in business for long enough - they seem to be entirely legit. They got a vote from @Cam in the 2019 Provider Poll.

Radi

We can do that with 4 GB RAM, but only with 1 IP and 90 GB disk for $7/mo.

freerangecloud

If you can bump up to $100 yearly, or drop your required IPs to 2 I can do something in Ashburn or Fremont

Thanks for the mention boss. Sadly 4 iP would be tough to honor in this market

Otherwise, please shoot me a pm. I would be happy to assist Join the family

Ps: Don’t mind if I ask, if you have what you need with your current provider and if you are happy, why fix what is not broken?

A solid +1 for @SmartHost from me FWIW.

Thanks @uptime

I doubt I can match the budget with what is required but feel free to PM me and discuss your requirements @edgecase

We can do this on OpenVZ. PM me if interested.
