Best < $15 VPS?

I'm looking for the best VPS $15 (or less) can buy. Right now, I have the RamNode SVZ: $9.30/mo, 1GB RAM, 60GB SSD, 4 vcores

I'm mostly looking for CPU and RAM. I saw GreenValueHost has a pretty terrific deal, the V-Enterprise: $8.25/mo, 4GB RAM, 250GB SSD-cached. However, its reliability seems dubious (maybe I'm mistaken).

I thought at first you meant $15/year - I see now you mean monthly, not yearly, but always specify if there's any doubt. As to which is the best, the answer is "it depends". What do you need the VPS for? Databases? Fast hard drive (better yet: SSD) is a must, so that RamNode box is a good deal. Heavy processing? Get lots of cores. And so on. If you're just looking for the most resources that you can get, I would submit that you're looking at this the wrong way. It's this sort of bottom-of-the-barrel thinking that drives companies to put forth ridiculous, unsustainable offers. IMHO the GVH offer you mentioned is one of those.

Still, if all you want is resources for resources' sake, find a large offer, but make sure the company has good reviews behind it. See if there's a money back period. Test support by ticketing sales to see how fast they respond (admittedly, a company's sales department won't always reflect their support department, but it's a start). And finally, as always, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

We already have a thread about this, it is sub $20 yearly, but they are all good and reliable providers.

Maybe you can find what do you want on that list.

If a host's reliability is subpar and you have to open numerous support tickets it's not a good deal.  Add the $$ value of your time that you waste opening support tickets (and the $$ value of any business you lose if you're using the VPS for your business) to the price of the plan and those "great deals" from subpar providers end up costing you far more than if you had paid a little more to buy from a more reliable provider in the first place.

Just to clarify, I'm looking for a nice box for around $15/month. Something with a good reputation, and not oversold. It's for a web server, a database, etc., so mostly CPU and RAM, although a SSD is obviously preferred.

It seems like XenPower is a pretty good option. How is it? Are the CPUs fast, is it oversold, etc.?

You can get a dedicated server under $15/mo from OVH-Kimsufi at their BHS data center in Canada. At the time of this writing their PS-3 server is available with these specs:

 PS-3     Atom™ D425     1c/ 2t     1.8 GHz+     2 GB RAM     1x 500 GB HDD   

             100 Mbps (unmetered)     1 IPv4         /128 IPv6       Basic DDoS protection    € 8.50 excl. VAT

The one-time setup fee is € 9.99 excl. VAT. Remote reboot or reinstallation of your server can be performed just like any VPS. No failover IPs and they do not allow Windows as of now. The Kimsufi customer support is virtually non-existent, but for this price you can't complain.

By the way, you need Google Translate in order to read their checkout pages, as they are all in French.

If you are looking for 15$/month that you'll find but i don't think you can find 15$/year..
SDD Memory with good RAM and may be Unlimited Bandwidth is available..

I second Jarland's comment. For RAM, vpsdime is the best. However I am not sure about their CPU policy, so I'd contact them first, if I were you.

Ha, I did too.

OP, if you're just sorting by GB RAM divided by price, you'll end up with bad hosts.  Once you get into a rough tier of service and you find similar prices, reputation is more important.

You get what you pay for - spend $10 more and get something decent and reliable. We run OnApp cloud with SSD SAN and multiple HV's and our plans start from $24.99/mo. Yes, they are not the most resources you will get for your money, but I can guarantee you that the reliability, stability and speed is the best. I'm not promoting my services here (well....kinda) but any host who runs a system like ours is going to be a good choice.
