I am using Vultr. They have very cheap VPS options and they have many different OS images i.e. I am running a CentOS and a OpenBSD instances.

I’m so glad someone mentioned Vultr. They are way underrated.

They have a phenomenal service. Hard to beat their pure raw performance (NVMe, high clock CPU), they offer a host of solution from dedicated to VPS, you truly can’t beat their price (I migrated from AWS to Vultr, Vultr was 8x cheaper for the comparable AWS offering), they have global presence.

Linode is good.

DigitalOcean is fine, too. I find some of their distro tooling to have annoying and longstanding bugs that never get fixed, though. I eventually moved all my servers back to Linode to avoid the small pointless hassles.

They're all probably more or less equal.

Been on Linode for about 6 years with nearly 0 downtime across 5 servers. Absolutely no complaints.

They did get hit with a nasty DDoS attack a couple years back which did suck for me, but it was short lived and I think it taught but them and me a lot..

The also offer money for writing guides for them.

The cheapest VPS on Vultr doesn't provided IPv6. Does it mean people from IPv4 wont be able to access website hosted on that VPS? Is there a way around this issue?

I think DigitalOcean offers it as well.

It depends on your needs really. DO is fine for low budget projects. Just below them I would suggest Vultr. If you don't care about API's and that sort of thing, then Ramnode is even cheaper, but I've had issues with the user interface. There are a bunch of aggregator sites that compare vps providers. Here are two of them. [1] [2] [3] Disclaimer: These sites can be a bit spammy. Use NoScript / uBlock. Also, you reall…

Ramnode also has at times outright hostile customer support and a blatant disregard for customer privacy. Strongly advise against them.
