Until now my “home in the cloud” has been DigitalOcean, and I’ve been pretty happy with them. Five bucks a month for a VPS, what’s not to like? But then I upgraded it to ubuntu 20.04, and the 1G of memory on my little cheapo machine could not keep up.
I looked around at other providers and it seemed that most of them were charging about $5/G of memory. But then I found this place VPSDime, that was charging $7 for a VPS with 6G of memory! I was immediately suspicious, of course. Is this a fake website that is going to rip me off? Is this part of some international spy ring?
I signed up anyway, though, because that’s how I roll. And so far this thing is blazingly fast, and I haven’t been ripped off or taken to international spy prison. So I am calling this a success!
