# Server rental

### Where to rent a server

1\) [Webtropia  ](https://www.webtropia.com)– Inexpensive German hosting provider. If you rent a VPS, then bans constantly arrive, at the moment, it is not recommended. Suitable for rental only dedicated servers.

2\) [Hetzner  ](https://hetzner.cloud)– This is also a German hoster, there are no restrictions on the gigabit channel. But there are disadvantages - Hetzner often blocks VPS due to mining, and if the project has a need for server decentralization, then Hetzner is better not to take. Since most of the norunners keep servers on the hetzner.

3\) [Vultr ](https://www.vultr.com)– Expensive service, but convenient and hassle-free. Using the referral link, you can get $ 100 for a month, just enough to train if you are just starting out. Payment is hourly, which allows you to deploy nodes for a short time or test scripts. You can pay with cryptocurrencies.

4\) [DigitalOcean](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/) – American service, similar to Vultr, does not have more features, but for nodes they are practically the same. The main advantages are fast deployment, hourly billing. By ref they give $100 for 2 months.

5️) [Сontabo ](https://contabo.com/en/)– great service, with good and cheap VPS. Monthly payment. The disadvantages are - expensive VDS and Setup Fee for installation in the amount of the price of the server for a month. For example, if you take a VPS for 5 euros, then the initial payment will be 10 euros (5 euros for the VPS itself, 5 euros as a Setup Fee), then the renewal is already 5 euros.

6\) [OVH ](https://www.ovhcloud.com/)- an old reliable hoster, many use it because of the affordable prices for VDS and the quality. Despite the fact that recently there was an incident with a burnt cloud.

7\) [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/) - This is a great option for freeloaders, but due to the great difficulty in using it, it is not recommended for beginners. Requires skills and knowledge to work. Of the benefits - they give $ 300 to test, for which this provider is in demand.
