Reddit – Dive into anything

I’ve been searching for cheap VPS hosting. I’ve noticed a wide range of pricing for what seems to be the same thing. I’m looking for no greater than $10/mo, ideally $5. 2 cpu would be ideal but I can probably live with 1. At least 1GB ram. I’ve looked at the cheapest offerings from Digital Ocean, letbox, LA vps, dedipath, virmach, (based on lowendbox lists). Is there a good site or table that compares all of them in terms of quality and/or reliability? I’m wondering what kind of hidden surprises there may be if I just go with whatever is cheapest. Reliability is probably more important to me than performance as I don’t want it going down all the time and messing up DNS and email. If places go out of business or raise their prices all the time, there will be hassle with moving everything.
