Including those that were previously available and are still on sale, sorted by price from low to high. For doubling traffic, please refer to the section on [Doubling Traffic]. For data center selection, please refer to the section on [Data Center Related].

After the VPS is activated, check the root password and the account name and password for the control panel:
Open the email record, in the email titled KVM VPS Login Information.
If the IP is blocked upon startup, a free change is supported within 72 hours after purchase (no bill will be generated).
Self-service IPv4 change: Go to the user backend, click on the VPS that needs to be changed, and there is an option "Change IP" on the left. Click it and follow the instructions. The system will generate a one-time bill of $3, and after payment, the system will automatically change the IP.
Note: If there is a ticket in OPEN status, the IP change button will be unavailable, and the ticket must be closed first.
Doubling Traffic#
- After purchasing, you can currently double the VPS traffic.
Reply to a specific post in the LET (lowendtalk) forum (the post address is not fixed and will be updated):
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/191501/real-deals-here-win-big-with-thousands-in-prizes-racknerds-new-year-offers-new-year-2024#latest
Just reply with your order number. Alternatively, you can use the template:
Hello, I would like to double the bandwidth.
Order: Check the 10-digit number in the email
Thanks!
(Order Number can be found here: Email log (View Email Log) URL https://my.racknerd.com/clientarea.php?action=emails, the email title contains the 10-digit number)
Note: If you don't have a LET account, you can register one. When registering, you need to fill in a reason for registration (in English, for example, to communicate and learn about VPS information). You need to verify your email and wait for the LET administrator to review your registration information. You can only use the account to reply after approval.
Note 1: If you bought a machine earlier and missed the doubling traffic opportunity, you can try using the renewal invoice number (success is not guaranteed).
Note 2: Doubling processing takes time; it can be as quick as one or two days, but three to five days or longer is also normal.
- The month when the traffic is used up will result in downtime, and traffic will reset on the 1st of each month in Pacific Time.
Data Center Related#
1: Data Center Introduction#
Currently, RN mainly sells CC data centers in the US, MC data centers, and the Strasbourg data center in France.
CC Data Center (full name ColoCrossing): Locations include San Jose, Seattle, New Jersey, Chicago, Dallas, etc., currently does not support IPV6. The IPs have basically been blacklisted by Google again, and verification will pop up during searches (Updated 2023.06.30: Currently, the IPs do not trigger Google verification again, but it is unknown how long this will last).
MC Data Center (full name Multacom Corporation): Only Los Angeles DC02 is available, and the IP will not trigger Google verification. It also has IPv6, which can be requested via a ticket (up to 100, recommended 1-5).
Strasbourg Data Center: Located in Strasbourg, France. This is a new data center launched by RN, currently with relatively sufficient resources and not crowded, and the price is slightly higher than CC and MC. It supports IPV6, and requests can be made via a ticket (up to 100, recommended 1-5).
Network test address for each data center: https://lg-lax02.racknerd.com/
Currently, it is generally recommended to prioritize Los Angeles DC02. The previously acceptable network in San Jose has become crowded for some time but is currently slightly better (do not choose San Jose for mobile). If you want a less crowded data center, consider those that are not popular. This is just my personal view; ultimately, choose based on your own needs and actual test results.
Note: To solve the Google verification issue during peak times, you can use the one-click script WARP:
wget -N https://gitlab.com/fscarmen/warp/-/raw/main/menu.sh && bash menu.sh
(This project address: https://gitlab.com/fscarmen/warp.git)
2: Data Center Migration#
If you purchased with multiple data center options, you can submit a ticket to request migration to one of the available options at that time (generally one migration opportunity, so be cautious). If you purchased with a fixed data center, there is usually a fee of $5. Some low-priced packages (<$10) are difficult to migrate. Additionally, migrating from other data centers to Los Angeles DC02 is also relatively difficult or may incur a $5 fee (there are both success and failure cases, subject to the ticket result).
You can say something like this in the ticket: The line is not good; I request to change the data center. Please help me migrate this VPS to XX.
Note: The IP will change after migration, and data will be lost, so make sure to back up. The doubled traffic may be lost. (You can reply in the ticket: I previously left a message on the Let forum, and the traffic has been doubled to 2xT. Now the traffic has reverted to xT; can I request to adjust it back to 2xT?)
Change Email / Push#
1. Change Email#
Currently, you can submit a ticket to request a free email change.
Before Black Friday, you could submit a ticket for a free email change, but during Black Friday, due to too many people submitting tickets for email changes, it became an $8 fee. Currently, accounts without Black Friday flash sale chickens can change emails for free, while those with Black Friday flash sale chickens need to pay an $8 email change fee (subject to the ticket result).
2. Push#
The push fee is $8 per time, and you need to submit a ticket to push.
The push fee is calculated per time, not per machine. For example, if account A has 4 machines and wants to push 2 of them to account B, the fee is $8, not $16.
