RackNerd VPS Specials: $21.99–$119.99/year (lifetime same-rate renewal)
Standing price Lifetime same-rate renewal Annual billing Unmanaged
RackNerd VPS Specials is the most complete entry in the Cheap section: 5 KVM VPS tiers from $21.99/year to $119.99/year, with the official FAQ explicitly promising lifetime same-rate renewal (lifetime recurring, renew at the same rate). Every tier includes full root access, 1 IPv4, a 1 Gbps port, and the ctrl panel. Two gaps: locations are only described as multiple, with specific cities as shown at order time; and refund terms do not appear on the Specials page. Note that Specials prices differ from catalog prices — the catalog page bills the same configurations monthly and costs much more; don’t confuse them.

Renewal promise
Official Specials page FAQ, quoted verbatim: “Can I renew a RackNerd VPS special at the same rate? Yes. These RackNerd VPS specials are lifetime recurring. You can renew at the same rate for as long as you decide to keep the service.” This is the only vendor in the Cheap section whose page explicitly promises lifetime same-rate renewal — and the reason it ranks first.
What’s included
The ctrl panel includes reboot, power on/off, OS reinstall, HTML5 VNC console, one-click apps, network firewall, root password reset, and upgrades. One-click apps include AdminBolt, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, AnythingLLM, Ollama, LibreChat, n8n, Coolify, Docker/Portainer, WordPress panels, and more. Memory thresholds from the official FAQ: OpenClaw needs at least 8 GB; Hermes, AnythingLLM, Ollama, and LibreChat need at least 4 GB; n8n and Coolify start at 2 GB. Match the memory threshold before choosing a tier.
Locations & setup
The page says multi-location deployment (deploy in multiple locations) and lets you pick a data center near your users, but lists no specific cities on the Specials page; the FAQ likewise only says multiple RackNerd locations. Go by the locations shown at order time. Setup is instant: deployed right after payment, online within minutes.
Catalog price comparison
RackNerd’s catalog page (KVM VPS, Los Angeles Asia Optimized) has completely different prices — don’t take catalog prices for Specials prices, and don’t assume Specials renewals bill at catalog prices:
| Catalog plan | Catalog price | Same-tier Specials reference |
|---|---|---|
| 512 MB | $26.99/year | — |
| 1 GB | $17.99/month | $21.99/year |
| 2 GB | $20.59/month | $35.99/year |
| 4 GB | $24.59/month | $59.99/year |
| 8 GB | $36.59/month | $119.99/year |
The catalog page also states: up to 100 free IPv6 addresses (Los Angeles and France locations, on request via ticket). The Specials page FAQ already promises same-rate renewal, so renewal prices follow the FAQ — not the catalog price.
Notes
- Refund terms do not appear on the Specials page: a third-party summary says no refund guarantee, handled case by case (not verified on an official page). Check the official terms before buying; confirm the refund policy before paying annually.
- Unmanaged VPS: day-to-day management is on you plus the ctrl panel; platform support is 24/7.
- Locations as shown at order time: if routes matter to you, confirm the available locations before ordering.
How to buy
- Open the RackNerd official Specials page and confirm the current plans and prices.
- Choose a plan and location; setup is instant after ordering (online within minutes of payment).
- Manage via the ctrl panel or SSH; install one-click apps in ctrl, matching the memory thresholds first.
