A while ago I stumbled upon this cheap vps provider called dedistation (lowest was $15/year), so I end up buying a one year subscription and transferred all of my personal sites to it. Fast forward six month later, uptime robot notified me that my vps is down. No problem, I'll just submit a ticket. Few days go by and I yet to receive a response. Not a problem, I'll just try and login via the serial interface and get my shit, no luck there either.
Seems like these motherfuckers just packed up and went offline without a shit given.
No response, no notification untill today! How more twat a company could be?
Lessons learned the hard way
- always backup regularly
- check and transfer nameserver or no emails for days.
- you get what u pay for (haven't learned this fully yet. Went again with a cheap legit-ish provider (arubacloud)

    One thing you can check.. Contact their support asking some tech question before you purchase. You can judge them by their response time.

    @vish Find that a hard one. One of our vps providers has so many helpdesk questions that they're hardly available but it's a highly reliable service.

    You should check https://www.scaleway.com
    I used their service on multiple occasions and so far so good.

    Here's the cheapest VPS:

    I can suggest waveride
    If you are interested take a look here: https://www.waveride.at/plans

    I used them before and have multiple servers running for several years

    The cheapest plan is about 5$/m
    But they don't offer that much support, you get the box and it is up to you to do what you want with it. That is described here: https://waveride.at/faq/...

    A good german company with nice prices is contabo.de / contabo.com with around 10.000 servers.
    Have my VPS there and their support is nice, answers mails at night...
