Cheap Black Friday VPS (alien.top)

I was searching this thread for an alternative to dreamhost which has unlimited monthly traffic. I found this Black Friday link from a year ago which still works!

https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/

Do I need unlimited? Probably not, but I was worried about going over.

But is racknerd reliable?

[–] REDNAX-01@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have a cheap vos from them for the last 10 months. If you want something reliable, this isn't it. For example: in the last 3 weeks, the vps was rebooted 4 times. And when that happens, the vps is down for about 10 minutes before starting up again.

It not a problem for me, since it's so cheap. Hope this info helps
