Having a hard time tracking down an affordable VPS to run my node. Any suggestions???
Cumulus or Nimbus ?
here you can check where others are running their nodes (providers)

Cumulus, will the ssd option work?
I didn’t realize the price would be that high. Seems like disk space is what is cause us to pick more expensive vps
At contabo you have to contact them and ask about the write speed of the SSD. That’s why I went with the NVMe version.
Both Contabo and Netcup changed their prices last weekend. It was half the price last week.
Kinda sad.
I could have sworn the prices were way lower a few weeks ago. Just getting around to setting a node up.
How is it going? What do the rewards look like?

Cumulus is technically still profitable,1k staked and the return is approx. 40 Flux (that is 4% / month). Nimbus is excellent (if you have the collateral).
FYI the SSD options did not pass benchmark. Upgrading to the one you selected.
There has to be a place that has a VPS for less than $25 !
Hi there… My SSD did not pass the benchmark too. I’m using Contibo’s basic VPS package with storage Add-on i.e., 400 GB SSD. What package/configuration from Contibo worked for you?
I run 4 cumulus Fractus nodes on my own server. I like Flux because they are constantly moving forward and have a great roadmap for the future. There’s a lot of enthusiastic people on the team and the tec support is awesome. I believe Flux recommends external server space, but I don’t know how cost effective it is.
I live in the UK and they have even opened offices in nearby Cheltenham. It’s an interesting project and one I’ve been into for a few years.
I’m not affiliated at all with Flux. I simply like the project and where they’re going. I would run my own GPU’S to be used as rented resource, but the electricity costs are just to high in the UK and I would lose too much money.
