RackNerd plans and prices

KVM VPS plansStanding monthly prices from the KVM VPS page. The 512 MB plan ($26.99) is priced per year only, so it has no monthly figure and is left out. Time-limited deals on the specials page are also left out. The page gives transfer with no period.

01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

Unmanaged KVM servers with more vCores per plan: the 1 GB plan has 2 vCores at $17.99 a month, where the 1 GB plans at Vultr, Linode and DigitalOcean have one, rising to 7 vCores and 12 GB for $55.99, across 12 locations in the US, Canada and Europe.

Consider something else if…

Price matters more than cores: 1 GB is $17.99 a month here and $5 at Vultr and Linode. RackNerd's cheaper deals are time-limited and mostly billed yearly, backups are not included, the transfer allowance states no period, and the 99.999% SLA covers network and power, not the VPS itself.
