Cheapest UK/EU based VPS provider?

by Nattie
7 replies
Am looking for a cheap Linux or BSD VPS with SSH access (for Subversion/GIT over HTTPS) but has to be in the UK or EU due to lack of proper data protection laws in the less civilised parts of the world like the USA.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanx

Nattie

      This "VPS1024" package looks good.

      4 CPU Cores
      1GB RAM
      90MB Storage
      600GB Bandwidth

      All for 12Euros per month.

      Looks pretty tempting from where i'm sitting but i know next to
      nothing about server hosting and the like.

      I already bought my domain name from elsewhere. I'm assuming it's
      pretty simple to point it at the IP address of this virtual server if
      I buy the VPS package from these guys?

      What do you reckon? Worth the money and suitable enough for my modest needs? (SVN/GIT)

        Well I just went for it and signed up for that package with a 64bit Debian 7 installation.

        I googled for a promo code and got 20% off per month for life too so it's only costing me £8.18 per month too.

        I'll be sure to post back here if they turn out to be a bad host!

    It also depends on if you can manage your VPS yourself. Cheap VPS almost always means unmanaged service. cPanel alone costs about $15 usd extra. Given that the basic service would be usually at $10, so with cPanel that's a minimum $25 right there.

    Basic VPS hosting service: $10
    cPanel: $15
    Stress in managing your own VPS: Priceless
