Ask HN: Do any VPS at sub $5/month exist?

With exoscale we kick in at 6$ and offer full control https://www.exoscale.ch/pricing/
i have close to 99% on edis.at. 99.99% is simply not available for $5. My last mini machine with "100% uptime" was about 5 times as much, but not particulary stronger than a average DN box.
You can probably find a VPS provider at $5/month, but it most likely won't be reliable. I probably went through 50 or 60 providers over the years and most of them are fine, until there is a major issue, and then you will see why it's only $5/month.
In some cases, I had weeks of downtime or lost my data completely. Of course I had backups, but this is just unacceptable if you are trying to run a business.
Your hosting provider is something you don't want to get cheap.

https://www.ramnode.com/vps.php has a few
have you used ramnode with openvz? That seems to be the lowest price option at $15 a year.
I would be curious what version of linux you used etc.

aws t2.nano is $4.75 monthly http://www.ec2instances.info/?cost=monthly
You could always use the AWS free tier if you're still eligible.
Unless you're serving a ton of traffic that would break you well out of the free tier's plan, it should be free or something in the $2 or less range even with pretty high traffic figures.
The catch is it will only be available at that price for the first 12 months.

Mhhh DigitalOcean has a 5$ VPS with 512MB RAM and a 99.99% Uptime. (https://www.digitalocean.com/features/reliability/)
Also Scaleway with arroung 3€+VAT is fairly nice. With 200Mbit unlimited bandwidth and 2GB RAM + 4 ARM Cores.

I use Digital Ocean now, but was looking for something cheaper but almost as good.
I use OVH, it cost 3.49 with 2GB RAM and 10GB SSD. I readed good and bad comments about OVH but my experience has been good. Maybe is not so good for production environments but It works really good for me.

I know there are plenty of shared hosting providers that offer $1-$2 per month, but I need the full control a VPS offers.
I wanted to host a Go based server that serving cached content that changes every few days.
