Cheapest KVM VPS in Frankfurt
in Requests
Hi,
I'm looking for a very small VPS in Frankfurt to use as a internal VPN gateway for all client machines in Germany. Since this would only take care of the VPN connections and some routing to the other servers, I think it would be fine to go for something like
- 1 vCPU
- >=256 MB RAM
- >= 1 TB bandwidth
- 1 Gbps connection
- dedicated ipv4 and ipv6
- Only KVM
Was looking for vultr, but 5 € / month is a bit too much for this purpose.
So I wonder if someone here knows some better deals in this range and for this location.
Cheers!

CrownCloud offer KVM in Frankfurt - check with @SpeedBus to see if they might have a deal for you (possibly with discount for annual payment).
I know them as a consistently reliable provider.
Another option might be First-Root (in Düsseldorf, about 200 km from Frankfurt) - they may still offer a 512 MB ram KVM for €20 (yearly).

I would also vouch for First Root KVM Power Edition (KVM). They are providing reliable service, good network quality and support is quick and helpful.
Another option could be vserver.site Server Boerse where you can grab a VM perfectly for VPN and routing for only 20 EUR per year. Support is great and their servers are located directly in Frankfurt.
I am having routing/vpn VMs with both of them and both are doing a great job. Hard to decide which to prefer. That's why I took both of them.

Great recommendations already, let me add to the noise.
Look up Avoro offer in the deals somewhere. Overkill for your needs, but still below your budget.

from those I only have no service with fastpipe (yet), can recommend all of the others ;-)
Like the vserver offers. Thx for recommendations.

So many good recommendations, thank you very much guys
Since the offer is unbeatable, I have to try CrownCloud first.
please report back, ideally a yabs and some fio (because it's not in yabs yet @Mason ;-) :-P )
Who will be the first to offer VMs out of our location at FR6 :-)?

May be @AnthonySmith ?

Just curious are your DE & NL locations also DDoS protected?

IIRC, yes, with Corero.

Clouvider's network is many galaxies ahead of Hetzner's but I can understand that unfortunately such qualities don't matter much in LE world particularly

Avoro, FarnoX, Prager had 10-13EUR/y deals in Frankfurt.

Nah, definitely not as much.
Hardware is, but you get what you pay for, in this case an actual server not a soho.

Yep, sadly that does not translate to my customers getting what I pay for because they can pay less elsewhere, or I can make 5% profit margin by competing with hetzner and paying more for the hardware.
To low profit margins and to high risk in Frankfurt for me, but I assume you did not setup the Frankfurt location expecting many small VPS hosts to be customers there.

I should however say, that may well all change when solus.io comes out and my only USP no longer needs to be price.

Yeah but going after the price alone and using the same soho as everyone else means you compete on price alone, and there’ll always be a HostDoc cheaper than you, which will always win with you on price (at least until they die but then their reincarnation takes their place anyway). I personally believe price is the last thing one should aim to compete on if they are in for the long term.

^ yeah.

Yes but there is a line, I have managed to intuit that line well for the last 10 years, but when I am paying more than double for hardware to provide exactly the same service to the perspective of 90% of the public, what else is there?

Not that @AnthonySmith needs convincing about @Clouvider 's network but Frankfurt seems good so far!
@Mr_Tom full specs, price and host?

Host is an E-2276G, 64gb and 2xNVMe drives. I created a 4c/4gb test VPS just to check out a few things.
Ah ok sorry, I thought it was a VPS from a host.

Ah sorry, didn't mean to confuse. Technically they will be VPS's for clients but most of my stuff is fully managed. If you wanted to do any testing/etc let me know I can sort you with a VPS for a bit if it's any help
Thanks, I have no doubts that the network is great.

Latency to UK is slightly higher than the AMS location, but still not bad for DE.

Mines the winter promotion, 2 Dedi vCPU 6gb ram , 30GB ssd

Jesus H Simpson!, another reason I don't want to step in to the Germany market at all right now, 5GB Ram and 10gbit for essentially €3.50 p/month
At that price I would need Dom to do a 70% discount just to break even haha.
I am still quite sure with some of the DE deals I see that most of the German market uses NVMe drives as ram tbh.

You could do it if you think out the "dom" box

Yeah, I don't feel like making new relationships with super budget hosts, been down that path a few times and it never ends well, OpenITC, RapidSwitch, Snelservers, ServeAxis, I just could not put myself through it again.
I appreciate to the end user it does not make any difference really (in the short to maybe medium term) but I think part of the reason I am still here 10 years later is because I know when something is simply not going to last, and that has included the competition on a number of occasions.

Fair call, but please don't forget that everyone started off small at one stage
I would imagine at your level you've got a lot of experience that someone like myself wouldn't have, especially when it comes to and industry as crazy as hosting, so I'll accept that you're probably going to be right a lot more than I'd like to admit to
