RackNerd Latest Promotions: 5 Affordable US VPS Plans Starting at $21.99/year, 3TB–20TB Monthly Traffic @ 1Gbps, Available in New York / Los Angeles / Chicago / Dallas / Seattle / San Jose.
Anyone following RackNerd likely knows that many Black Friday and New Year VPS deals recently became limited to only New York, Atlanta, and San Jose locations, while most popular datacenters have already sold out.
However, today we discovered another extremely low-cost VPS package that supports more datacenter choices:
(Custom) Ryzen 512MB VPS for just $15/year. It also supports RackNerd’s bandwidth doubling request, bringing the monthly traffic allowance to 800GB @ 1Gbps, making the value proposition quite attractive.

Below is the complete information summary:
1. Newly Discovered Today: $15/year Ryzen 512MB VPS
Official Specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| CPU | 1x AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Core |
| Memory | 512MB RAM |
| Storage | 6GB SSD Cached RAID-10 |
| Monthly Traffic | 800GB Premium Bandwidth (after doubling) |
| Port Speed | 1Gbps |
| IP | 1 Dedicated IPv4 |
| Virtualization | KVM / SolusVM |
| Price | $15/year Order Link |
This package supports RackNerd’s bandwidth doubling request, resulting in:
800GB monthly traffic @ 1Gbps bandwidth.
Note: All traffic values shown in the table already reflect doubled bandwidth.
As long as your order has never received a traffic upgrade before, you may request it by posting your order number on LET:
LET Thread.
You can also leave your order number under related YouTube or Bilibili videos for assistance. There is no restriction on purchase time or quantity, and both new and existing customers are eligible.
Available Datacenter Locations
- Los Angeles DC02
- Los Angeles DC03
- New York
- Chicago
- Dallas
- San Jose
- Atlanta
This is especially important because many low-cost VPS plans no longer support Los Angeles DC02/DC03, while this package still does — making it particularly valuable.
2. Previously Recommended “Archaeology” Multi-Location Plans
In previous articles, we mentioned two older ultra-low-price plans that still support multiple datacenter selections.
Package Summary Table
| CPU | Memory | Storage | Traffic | Price | Purchase |
| 1 Core | 768MB | 10GB SSD | 2TB @ 1Gbps | $10.28/year | Buy Now |
| 1 Core | 1GB | 17GB SSD | 6TB @ 1Gbps | $10.98/year | Buy Now |
Note: Traffic values already include the doubled bandwidth bonus. If your order has never received doubled traffic before, you may still request it through the LET thread or via related YouTube/Bilibili videos.
Available Datacenters Include:
- Los Angeles DC03
- Chicago
- Dallas
- Ashburn
- Seattle
- Toronto, Canada
These are currently among the few remaining ultra-budget plans that still allow multiple location selections.
3. Plans Currently Limited to New York / Atlanta / San Jose
For easier comparison, here is a summary of the plans currently restricted to New York, Atlanta, and San Jose only:

5. RackNerd Datacenter & Network Overview
RackNerd offers more than 10 datacenter locations. For users in mainland China, the most latency-friendly locations are still on the US West Coast.
Recommended order based on latency from mainland China:
Los Angeles > San Jose > Seattle > Central US > Eastern US > Europe
Los Angeles Datacenter Notes
- DC-02 (MultaCom)
- Supports IPv6
- Good direct routing performance for all three Chinese ISPs
- Preferred choice for mainland China users
- DC-03 (ColoCrossing)
- Popular backup option
- May experience slight congestion during peak hours, but offers excellent pricing
Other locations such as San Jose, Seattle, and New York are mostly hosted in ColoCrossing (CCS) facilities and generally do not provide IPv6.
For IPv6-supported locations, you may submit a support ticket directly:

6. Final Thoughts
The current situation can be summarized simply:
- Most low-cost VPS plans → limited to New York / Atlanta / San Jose
- Older “archaeology” plans → still offer more datacenter choices
- Today’s newly discovered $15/year Ryzen plan → supports popular nodes like Los Angeles DC02
These low-cost multi-location plans can sell out again at any time.
Especially Los Angeles DC02 and DC03, which have historically been highly popular locations with rapidly changing inventory.
If you need one, it’s recommended to lock in your order sooner rather than later.
