AlphaVPS Benchmarks and Review – Cheap KVM/OVZ VPS

Buying cheap Virtual Private Servers can become quite addictive. If you’re like me and end up mostly idling them, or if you need them for projects and experiments, then you’re probably spending quite a bit of money on them.

If you do not require a managed service, and can handle the VPS yourself in an unmanaged package, then you can save yourself a lot of money by using budget providers. Budget is often seen as inferior, which is quite often the case. However, a few providers do manage to have reasonable prices with excellent performance. This is usually harder to find in OVZ plans in contrast to KVM plans.

The subscription model is also important here, a yearly commitment is generally much cheaper than a monthly billing cycle.
