This article shares some cheap VPS providers that charge around $10 per year.

This one doesn't need much introduction. Established in 2019, it has been operating VPS for many years and is as stable as an old dog. Although the prices are cheap, the stability surpasses other VPS providers. The VPS I purchased from them has been basically stable without dropping connections! A VPS priced around $10 per year is very suitable for beginners to get started and play around with, and it's also stable and stress-free for setting up a few blogs or small sites! The VPS priced around $10 per year are special discounted VPS offered during promotions, and the quantity is limited. You won't see the links to these discounted VPS directly on their official website after registering. You can view and purchase these discounted VPS through https://racknerdvps.github.io/, where the inventory of these discounted VPS is updated daily!
VirMach#
This provider is also cheap, with many options under $10. VirMach is known as the "price butcher," and during VPS promotions, the prices can be ridiculously low. However, with VPS, you definitely get what you pay for. The most frustrating part is when you spend money, and the VPS service is unavailable, and you can't get a refund; that can be very annoying. If you have a habit of collecting VPS, then this is perfect for you. But if you want to use it for work, then it's basically not feasible. I bought several during Black Friday, but they were all in a state of explosion, and I could only SSH in occasionally to run a couple of commands. Although it's only a few dollars, compared to its instability and network connection speed, you might feel like those few dollars were completely thrown into the water. Wouldn't it be better to buy something else for that amount? The website https://vps.blackfriday/ is their discounted VPS page, which refreshes new VPS prices every few hours. If you have patience, you can wait for several refreshes to find many discounted VPS options for a few dollars per year.

The characteristic of this provider's VPS is large traffic. During Black Friday 2023, they launched an unlimited traffic VPS for $10 per year. But I must remind everyone that their VPS is very prone to downtime; if you're not careful, they can shut down due to high I/O or CPU usage, so their reputation isn't very good. The unlimited traffic VPS for $10 per year, once regarded as a family heirloom by many, is now thrown into the trash by most. Those in need can still buy their unlimited traffic VPS launched during Black Friday 2023. As of February 2025, there is still inventory, which shows how unsold their VPS is!

CloudCone#
Official website: https://cloudcone.com/
CloudCone was established in 2017 and has also been a stable VPS provider for many years. They control overselling quite well and are very stable. The regular-priced VPS from CloudCone doesn't have much cost-effectiveness, but they often have promotions. You can register an account on the CloudCone official website, and they will send emails to your registered email when they have promotions. They also frequently launch discounted VPS priced over $10 per year, but currently (February 2025), there are no cost-effective VPS options priced over $10 per year! As of February 2025, the most cost-effective option is the newly launched Snake Year special VPS for the Spring Festival, which starts at just $24.99 per year, with the highlight being a relatively large hard drive! It's worth noting that many of the discounted VPS launched by CloudCone use HDD hard drives, which have a slower read speed compared to SSD hard drives, but fortunately, they have added SSD CACHE, so the read and write speeds are still acceptable!
