Show HN: Connecting you to local markets for better VPS deals

2•hellishcopper•8mo ago
We noticed some Eastern-European VPS providers sell high-spec servers far cheaper than US clouds, but the sites are non-English and don’t accept international cards.

So we built *VPSCellar*. You pick specs → we rent the box locally → you get the SSH keys. 3-day trial first, pay later (crypto only for now).

Example price gaps:

  • Ryzen 9 9950X - 4 vCPU / 8 GB DDR5 / 150 GB NVMe / 10 Gbit
      Local: $21/mo      US cloud avg: $56/mo

  • Ryzen 9 9950X - 10 vCPU / 32 GB DDR5 / 300 GB NVMe / 10 Gbit
      Local: $92/mo      US cloud avg: $168/mo

  • Ryzen 9 5950X - 8 vCPU / 24 GB DDR4 / 250 GB NVMe / 500 Mbit
      Local: $55/mo      US cloud avg: $112/mo

  • Ryzen 9 5950X - 12 vCPU / 32 GB DDR4 / 300 GB NVMe / 500 Mbit
      Local: $70/mo      US cloud avg: $110/mo

  • Ryzen 9 5950X - 16 vCPU / 48 GB DDR4 / 400 GB NVMe / 500 Mbit
      Local: $90/mo      US cloud avg: $190/mo
How it works 1. DM or fill the form with desired specs. 2. We provision the server and send SSH keys (usually <12 h). 3. Test free for 3 days; pay in BTC/ETH/USDT only if satisfied.

Would love feedback from self-hosters, staging-env folks, or anyone chasing more horsepower per dollar. Happy to answer questions or spin up a trial box.

Dedi should be cheaper (bang per buck) right?
bravesoul2•8mo ago
Ooh you are brave! Crypto anon payment to rent a VPS. Might get a pirate or tor exit or worse lol!

Prices are neat tho. Not much different to Hetzner though?

hellishcopper•8mo ago
Yeah, we do plan on getting rid of crypto and adding the usual payment systems soon, crypto is just the simplest thing to set up right now.

The main difference compared to Hetzner is the Ryzen 9 9950, which is much more powerful than the CPUs on Hetzner's CPX nodes (Ryzen scores 3500 on Geekbench 6, while Hetzner's EPYC 7002 only hit 1200, and even the EPYC 9654 Genoas on the CCX tiers only hit 1900)
