If you need to purchase a VPS, you can consider Bearhost using the referral code (108765) for a 50% discount. This is the VPS that I found to have a higher cost performance after comparison. In addition, the platform accepts USDT for recharging, which is more suitable for the cryptocurrency industry. It is recommended to use BSC chain to recharge with low GAS fees.
