Points to consider
- CPU. These are VPS plans; review the provider’s current resource policy and test your workload after purchase.
- Support. Check the support channel and response expectations before relying on a plan for a time-sensitive service.
- Routing. The listed pages do not establish performance to mainland China. Check the location and route for your users.
Before you buy
- Renewal. Confirm the renewal price on the order page before you pay.
- Location. RackNerd lists data centers in Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Ashburn, Toronto, Amsterdam, France and Dublin. Choose based on your users and confirm migration terms.
- Cancellation. Read the current cancellation and data-retention terms, and keep an independent backup.
- Annual billing. Read the refund terms before committing to a year.
The 2 GB special is $35.99 a year, about $3 a month. Whether it suits you depends on the applications, location and support level you need. Order the 2 GB plan.
