Founded in 2019, RackNerd has become one of the most popular overseas VPS providers among Chinese users thanks to its strong stability, excellent price-to-performance ratio, and responsive support service. The 2025 Black Friday promotion is now live, continuing RackNerd’s classic “low price + high configuration” strategy. Plans start at just $10.60/year for SSD-powered KVM VPS hosting with 1Gbps bandwidth, and all plans renew at the same price with no hidden second-year increases.
This year’s Black Friday VPS lineup includes multiple US and international data centers. Among them, Los Angeles DC02 and DC03 are especially popular due to their direct routes to China. Notably, plans with 2.5GB RAM or above can select the Los Angeles DC02 data center, which is widely regarded as one of the best-performing options for Chinese users.
