Looking for a VPS for around $4-$7

So I see tons of offers out there with 1-2GB of RAM, 1-2TB of bandwidth, and then some crazy 50-200GB of disk and 3-4 CPUs.
Other times I see offers with things like 4GB of RAM, and 4 vCPUs and 1TB bandwidth...
I'm only looking for the following:
1.5 GB RAM
2 vCPUs
20GB disk (it can be SSD or HDD)
1000Mbit Port (not 1Gbit shared across everyone...)
3-4 TB bandwidth
Preferably NYC or New Jersey
and i'm looking for something in the price range of $4-$7
Am I crazy or why doesn't something like this exist?

Budget seems reasonable
Only thing is that the only way to get your own 1Gbit would be getting a dedicated server. 1Gbit is a lot to have on just one VPS. Most times, a whole machine has 1Gbit to share across all its VMs.
yeah, I guess my biggest concern is that a few years back, I had a VPS that was advertised as "5TB Bandwidth / mo" and I was paying $7/mo for it. I was getting barley 2-3Mbit/sec on a 1GbE "port" as it later turned out I was sharing said server with 200-300 other VPS servers all sharing said 1000 Mbit port.
I guess what i'm looking for is something that won't be over crowded yet also decent bandwidth :P
Ah, I understand
Quality VPS providers make sure all their VPS get 10Mbit/sec at least. The speed you download at also depends on the connection of the host you are downloading from.
You most likely just ran into a bad experience. Before you buy this VPS, just check with them that you will be getting a good network speed.
Hi @tehrabbitt !
VaporNode can offer exactly what you're looking for. The only concern is your preferred location. We offer high-availability VPS services out of Phoenix, AZ with your choice of OpenVZ or KVM virtualization.
I invite you to check out our website and latest LEB offer. Let me know if you have any questions!
Regards
Do you provide dedicated gigabit port?
@tehrabbitt you can check our KVM VPS Plans
I would say you are going crazy but not there just yet. Dedicated ports do not exist in vpses unless someone's taking you for a ride.
if 1Gbit dedicated port request isn't mandatory, then we'd be able to offer KVM on E5 3.7GHz node. Please PM if interested, thank you very much.
edit-sorry always forget this, location CA
Yes. You are crazy.
You will not find a guaranteed, "dedicated" 1 Gbit/sec port at the price you ask. The problem is that what you want is very "bursty" - most of the time, that 1 Gbit/sec port will sit idle, but you insist on getting the full 1 Gbit/sec whenever you want it.
If you think about it, the 4 Tbyte monthly limit at the full 1 Gbit/sec equates to 11 hours of usage per month. It is unreasonable to expect a provider to guarantee the full 1 Gbit/sec throughput just for your VPS at the price.
Which is it:
a. Do you expect the provider to throttle all of the other customers' throughput whenever your VPS wants the full 1 Gbit/sec? Sharing a 1 Gbit/sec link means that you accept lower performance when other VPSs need it at the same time, something you said you are not willing to do. What makes you think that other users will accept having their VPSs several throttled or completely cut off whenever your VPS wants to consume full bandwidth of the link?
... or ...
b. Do you expect the provider to make a 1 Gbit/sec link available for your VPS alone? In that case, the 1 Gbit/sec link sits mostly idle each month.
... or ...
c. The VPS provider has a wider pipe (e.g., 4 Gbits/sec) and guarantees your VPS a minimum of 1 Gbit/sec on demand. This is a variant of (a) or (b) or a combination of (a) and (b) above. In any case, the provider must maintain sufficient throughput reserves to service your VPS's 1 Gbit/sec demands. This implies that cannot fully monetize the throughput that they are paying for.
I hope this explanation helps you understand why your request is unreasonable at the price point you suggest. I would be concerned with the quality and reliability of any provider who offers to meet your requirements at that price.
@tehrabbitt said: 1000Mbit Port (not 1Gbit shared across everyone...)
It'd be just an illusion if someone offers you this. It's not even feasible. emg just explained the whole phenomenon very well.
Besides all this, I'd recommend you to explore the following link to find your interested product because I think specs are just great. You could ask their support to get discount within your range.
