Our Verdict

BandwagonHost is a LowEndTalk community staple with deep multi-month-prepay discounts on KVM VPS plans. The 20G annual prepay at $49.99/year and the 40G half-year at $52.99 are the strongest value plays; the 80G+ monthly tier is competitive but higher than RackNerd's annual-special floor.
