Zurich under $10 with BGP
Back in 2009, you could get a dedicated in Zurich for pocket change and they'd throw in a /24 if you asked nicely. They don't make them like that anymore.
Now I'm hunting for a VPS in Zurich proper, not "Zurich" that's actually Frankfurt with a fake accent. Requirements are tight:
- Under $10/month
- BGP session or at least own IP announcement
- /64 IPv6 minimum
- Not KVM-oversold-to-death
Contabo wants €14 for Munich and no BGP under €25. OVHcloud doesn't even have Swiss presence. Vultr's "Zurich" geolocates to Frankfurt, which I confirmed with traceroute.
I know, I know. Probably impossible in 2026. But back in 2009 we said the same about $5 SSDs, and look where we are.
If someone's sitting on a secret, my DMs are open.

Made search also sir, found nothing under $10 with BGP in Zurich. Hostinger https://www.hostinger.com have Jakarta location but no BGP for cheap plan, only enterprise.
Thank you very much sir for sharing old story, very interesting. Back in 2009 must be golden age sir
traffic worse than my packet loss
