    Hi

    I got this offer from Rack Nerd:
    5 GB KVM VPS (Black Friday 2024)

    4 vCPU Cores
    130 GB PURE SSD RAID-10 Storage
    5 GB RAM
    12,000GB Monthly Premium Bandwidth
    1Gbps Public Network Port
    Full Root Admin Access
    1 Dedicated IPv4 Address
    KVM / SolusVM Control Panel - Reboot, Reinstall, Manage rDNS, & much more
    Available in Multiple Locations
    JUST $55.93/YEAR - WOW!!


    I need to migrate old CentOS 6 and & servers (mostly low traffic, personal WP sites) to new OS.
    Is Rack Nerd reputable here?
    Should I go with Rocky or Alma? I suppose v9. I dont want to update for many years to come :)


    thx

    Oh no, the price sounded sort of too good to be true :(
    EL is neither Alma nor Rocky? Is it EnterPRise Linux? or what?
    Any recommendation as to budget VPS for low traffic (5) WP sites?

    Is the IP blacklisting only related to outgoing email (I am not planning to do that)
    Or does it also negatively affect web hosting? websites are behind free version of Clouflare (proxied).

    Yeah it mainly for IP reputation for mail sent from the server including server system notifications to you etc. EL8/9 refers to either AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux 8 or 9. For your budget maybe check out Hetzner (affiliate link) - shared AMD vCPU VPSes.

    Will check Hetzner, one of my customers has whole rack with them in Nurnberg.
    I guess I was asking, if Alna is better than Rocky.
    I saw in other thread you got dedi with Rocky (for some testing...?)
