Very simple lah. Column: date, provider, location, ping avg, ping max, io read mb/s, io write mb/s, ticket open date, ticket close date, ticket rating 1-5. I am use free UptimeRobot for ping, fio for disk.
This. The spreadsheet is the real product.
If you're running email on any of these boxes, UptimeRobot only checks ICMP. My mail was "up" but blacklisted, monitoring green. I switched to HetrixTools for SMTP monitoring too.
Milan DC same. Maybe HostHatch European presence is underrated. Everyone talks about their Asian locations but Milan has been my workhorse for two years.
Has anyone actually gotten money out of referral links? I tried with RackNerd, zero conversions in 8 months.
Because everyone reading "best RackNerd" lists already has ten VPS. The funnel is other deal hunters, not actual new customers.
FranTech / BuyVM does not take new customers half the time. "Out of stock" is their permanent state. Good luck actually getting that slice.
Fair. I got in during a rare restock. Point stands though: the hosts that do not advertise are the ones worth finding.
Also Jakarta here. Which subforum? Indonesian language or main? I need to read this thread.

Main forum lah, "VPS Offers" section. Thread from 2021 about "budget KVM under $20/year" still alive. Provider owner even reply sometimes, no marketing speak.
