Cheapest KVM VPS in Frankfurt

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.

    • amazon lightsail is $3.5 a month for the smallest plan. still not cheap but reliable and good for the intended purpose (Equinix DC in FRA).
    • avoro 3€ monthly, maybe cheaper if you can deduct german VAT (first-colo)
    • fastpipe.io 2.95€ per 30 days, maybe cheaper if you can deduct german VAT (afaik own peerings and DDOS protection)
    • arubacloud is 2.79€ - vmware works as good as KVM for me. (also Equinix DC)
    • greencloudvps offered something at around $24 yearly while on sale, maybe contact them directly. (23media)

    from those I only have no service with fastpipe (yet), can recommend all of the others ;-)

    Like the vserver offers. Thx for recommendations.

    Thanks for the mention! :+1:

    Maybe something like this could work @tehdartherer ?

    1 GB RAM
    20 GB SSD
    2 core fair-share access include
    1 Snapshot Slot (User can restore/create/destroy snapshot from the panel)
    KVM based
    1 TB bandwidth per month

  • So many good recommendations, thank you very much guys :smile:
    Since the offer is unbeatable, I have to try CrownCloud first.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    @vyas @cybertech You got Avoro EPYC box? How does it performs (CPU, SAS drive)?
    Could you please run bench.monster please?

    And also details of the plan and what you paid?

    Aye aye sir...
    Plan is below. Paid 10.6 Euros per quarter. No VAT

    1 dedicated Core 2 cores (need to check if dedicated)
    5 GB RAM
    50 GB SAS-SSD storage
    2 TB Traffic, DDoS-Protection
    12,60 EUR quarterly including VAT (10.6 EUR w/o VAT)

    Delivery time: 2-3 days Took me abt 6 hrs

    Location: First Colo / Germany

    Link: (also posted by @sonic in the flash.... thread)

    ————-

    Glad to post full BM results but I have multiple posts in this thread already, borderline hijacking the thread. Will be happy if someone else posts results from bench.sh. I have posted the cpu/ram/disk results above

    Thanks

    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.

    Stable base, happy face :)

    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 ;)

    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. :)

    Thanks for your mention and your trust for you ;) In the next days we will fill our Serverbörse with new systems ;)
