Title: Cheap & good VPS for Bitcoin node
Post by: Baitty on August 03, 2014, 07:41:33 AM
I'm looking for a secure VPS which is cheap. I'm looking for a VPS to host my own emails too so I would want to have a very secure vps.

Have you run a Bitcoin node of any of the VPS's because their prices are excellent.

DigitalOcean has some good servers.  They are inexpensive and seem reliable too.

Aye, so far so good. Although I don't do development work on it. Some stats here: http://84.200.34.113/  Usually number of connections are between 40 and 100. A snapshot:

Thanks for confirming Newar. I got the same configuration and installed a Bitcoin node. It has almost finished to download the blockchain: http://blaxxky.com/bitcoin_node_info.php

Note that the cheapest PieLayer configuration doesn't have enough disk space for the blockchain, you need the 45GB configuration ($7 per month)

Welcome aboard :)

I thought that was clear from my snapshot. The current blockchain size can be seen here: https://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size

Since we are on the topic of cheap VPSs... I'm getting quite some downtime with VertVPS. Not all their fault apparently, but that doesn't help the uptime.
