Are you seeking a
VPS in Singapore or
Japan at only €10 for the year? Sound too good to be true, right? That's what I thought! But after some searching, I have seen actual offers at that price. Yes, they come with limitations -- but if you are just looking for something to play with, it is good to have knowledge about these services.
Why People Enjoy the Cheap VPS Price Point
Whenever a person works with
servers or tinkering with small projects online, getting a server for cheap is one of those win situations! But whenever you are looking at a
VPS for €10 per year -- about the price of one meal -- there is a catch.
Most VPS deals that cost this low, have very low resources such as:
- Low RAM and CPU resources
- Low disk space
- Low bandwidth
While this may not be ideal for creating the next big business project, it does lend itself to:
- Testing a website or app
- Small VPN's or bots
- Learning Linux or to build your own server
- Speed tests from Asia
So, in conclusion, it is more of a learning tool or fun for any project that would use a
VPS.
Several VPS Resellers to Explore
While researching
LowEndTalk and related places, I came across a couple of companies that often provide
low-cost VPS in Asia:
•
GreenCloudVPS – Sometimes offers deals in
Singapore. People report positive experiences with their support service.
•
HostEONS – Offers
low-cost VPS plans with minimal RAM amounts (i.e.,
128MB or
256MB).
•
RackNerd – Known for announcing very low price and sale promotions. They may not have offers for
Singapore or
Japan all the time, but they seem to have some server locations in
Asia that are potentially close.
Tip: Always read reviews first. A lot of low-cost VPS options oversell their servers and performance is slow.
What to Expect
Let’s face it —
a €10/year VPS is not going to provide you high performance. It's not advertised for heavy workloads or high traffic. But it will work just fine for testing and learning or hosting something small.
The cost also reflects
VPS in Singapore or Japan have a higher cost on bandwidth. So when you do see a good deal — buy it! These deals appear to sell out quickly and fast.
