Review: RocketVPS.com (Knownhost.com Unmanaged)
I signed up for a rocketvps.com vps (rs3) a few months ago which serves as my secondary dns, secondary web and mirroring server for some of my gaming - I bought it as it's geographically far from my primary vps (mistin.ca) which I have with vanvps.com in Vancouver.
So anyway, RocketVPS RS3
4 Cores (2ghz per core)
1GB Dedicated Ram 2.5GB Burstable
50GB Disk
2TB BW
Regular price $24.99
I signed up using their 30% discount and also got cPanel added on - looking at their site now seems like they still have 25% coupons available which makes them pretty damn cheap.
My service?
So far it's been great, the server has been up 90 days - pingdom never makes a peep.. You have RDNS control in their control panel - resources seem to be quite fair... compiling easyapache goes by quite quickly compared to other vps I've used even with more resources apparently.
Whenever I see the "looking for reliable us vps for 20-40 I think of rocketvps. Theyre backed by KnownHost which is regularly recommended for managed solutions so you can almost guarantee that their service is going to be great. I cannot comment on their support because I never asked them anything beyond what they think of elvis returning (jk).

12 mo update-
Still using the same plan for some of my backups, side sites - and it's still working good, the node went down once a few months back briefly but it was taken care of quickly. Other than that it's been solid uptime - it's been paired with my vanvps (primary) the entire time and I'm enjoying this setup!
Give them a look if you're going for a reasonably priced VPS provider on the east(ish) coast!I specialize in neck beards

I've got a RocketVPS for some small project sites and I don't think I've really had much reason to contact support, so can't comment on that, but the 3-4 months I've had them have been great!
