EU VPS for Bitcoin Node (not mining) - 2GB RAM, 100GB Disk, $7/month

Require a VPS with the following spec to be used as a Bitcoin node - note that this does not mean mining Bitcoin, but does require p2p communications on TCP/8333 and a fair amount of RAM.

  • 3 vCPU minimum
  • 2GB RAM
  • 100GB Disk (SSD preferred, can host on a magnetic drive but the initial seed has tripped I/O limits on previous hosts)
  • Location: EU (UK, NL or SE preferred)
  • Virtualisation: no preference
  • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Ideal price is less than $7 per month (£5, €6.50)- can pay in Bitcoin too if necessary.

  • Our latest offer would be perfect. We have guaranteed CPU amounts also, so as long as you stay within them there will be no fear of suspension, if you have any questions drop me a private message :)

  • You will be fine on any decent provider

  • Romania ?

  • Hi @CraigWatson,

    We can do this in the UK.



    The resource plan 'Demanding' would be suitable for you, although it is double your specified price.



    We're not your traditional SolusVM/WHMCS provider so it's entirely up to you if the additional cost is worthwhile.



    Any questions just let me know.

  • A decent provider and trustable with good desk spaces would be good.

    the hardest part on finding suitable VPS for these nodes is the HDD requirement

    ed: you can use the $4.25/mo vps on dacentec;

    https://billing.dacentec.com/hostbill/index.php?/cart/vps/

    the 'medium' vps on time4vps @ 3.99 €/mo:

    http://www.time4vps.eu/

    and the 'master' kvm on planetahost.ru for $5.70 a mo, off the top of my head

    http://planetahost.ru

    .... you'd want to transfer the blockchain over to any of these before starting, though

    ed: oops, sorry, just saw your locations. ok, time4vps would be the only one out of that last then. would have to go for 'large' which is a bit past your budget for the 3 cpu and over 100GB HDD.
