As a webmaster, I often need to use a VPN. Public VPNs can sometimes be inconvenient (using a shared IP to register on certain platforms can lead to issues), so having your own VPN is necessary. I will write a dedicated tutorial on setting up a VPN when I have time; those who can't wait can directly Google search for keywords like "self-built VPN" to find other tutorials.
Racknerd's machines have always occupied the market with low-price promotions. Their US data centers include options in San Jose, Seattle, Ashburn, and New York. The performance is quite decent, stability is very good, and if you are not satisfied with the allocated IP, you can click "Change IP" on the left side of the backend to change it (within 72 hours after purchase). Payment methods also support virtual currencies.
This provider does not allow adult content, but it is a good choice for using as a VPN or running some Docker services.
