Don’t know why but the other day I searched for “cheap VPS server hosting”. Didn’t know what I expected to find; if anything. However, as luck would have it I stumbled into servercheap.com<\/a>. Just so were clear, this is literally what happened. I had never heard of these guys and do not have a relationship with them. They have not offered anything to be included here, nor have I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I was blown away by their pricing. If you follow, then you know that I have built Virtualmin servers at Linode\/Akamai, Digital Ocean, and Name Cheap. There is no doubt that the first two provide high-quality, high-value hosting. Name Cheap is, well, cheaper. And the servers seem to reflect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These guys claim (I haven’t checked) to have their server farm in Dallas which is more centrally located than Name Cheap’s Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frankly, the pricing seems unbelievable.<\/p>\n\n\n

It almost seemed too good to be true, but I decided to take an $8 flyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The server has been up and running for about a week and so far so good. But there were a few hiccups in the process; things I discovered along the way that should help your setup go more smoothly if you choose to host a VPS there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off: the online ordering process is a little clunky. I don’t know if this business is just brand-new or needs to hire a more experienced GUI engineer. Either way, there is no doubt about it you’re not dealing with AWS here. (But, you’re not paying AWS costs either.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a snapshot of their server setup page.<\/p>\n\n\n
