I am using Vultr. They have very cheap VPS options and they have many different OS images i.e. I am running a CentOS and a OpenBSD instances.

I’m so glad someone mentioned Vultr. They are way underrated.

They have a phenomenal service. Hard to beat their pure raw performance (NVMe, high clock CPU), they offer a host of solution from dedicated to VPS, you truly can’t beat their price (I migrated from AWS to Vultr, Vultr was 8x cheaper for the comparable AWS offering), they have global presence.

The also offer money for writing guides for them.

I think DigitalOcean offers it as well.

Do you have a link for that? Checked their site just now (on mobile though), did not see a relevant link.

The cheapest VPS on Vultr doesn't provided IPv6. Does it mean people from IPv4 wont be able to access website hosted on that VPS? Is there a way around this issue?

I honestly don't know I am not a network guy. I am using IPv4 it seems on my site.

If you're talking about the $2.50 VPS, yes, that's IPV6-only, so it doesn't support IPV4. You're correct that people who only use IPV4 won't be able to access that VPS, at least not without jumping through hoops. There's also a $3.50 VPS instance with the same spec that appears to support both IPV4 & IPV6.

I've been using Vultr for a while and am quite happy with them. I've also used a couple of the IPV6-only VPSs for experiments, but I have IPV4 & IPV6 connectivity at home.

Thank you. I did not know that. It is only available from their NY location. One has to click though all server locations to find the best deal for the need.

You would have to get another instance with IP4 support and reverse proxy to the IP6 one. Could be useful if you were using the IP6 box for something like a database server, but the instance you are talking about isn't really powerful enough for that.
