TL;DR Should you switch from BuyVM?
BuyVM (Frantech) is the OG lowendtalk Linux KVM provider: $2/mo for a 1GB slab, Vegas / Luxembourg / NYC locations, IPv6 + BGP + Stallion block storage. The LET community loves it, but Vegas stock sells out constantly and you wait for restocks. rdp.monster is always in stock, offers Windows desktops on top of Linux, takes 10+ cryptos and runs 24/7 human + AI support. Different deal: BuyVM is dirt-cheap Linux for veterans; rdp.monster is Windows or Linux with modern support and no queue.
- Want a Windows desktop, not just bare Linux KVM
- Need in-stock instant provisioning (no "Vegas restock" waiting)
- Want 24/7 human chat support, not ticket-only
- Pay in 10+ cryptos with no KYC
- Your only need is sub-$5/mo Linux KVM in BuyVM's specific POPs (Las Vegas / Luxembourg / NYC)
- You're an LET veteran who already has a BuyVM slab account
- You specifically need BuyVM's Stallion block storage product

Which one fits your workload?
Four scenarios, an honest verdict on each. BuyVM doesn't lose every round.
Cheap Linux KVM at $2/mo
★ BuyVM winsBuyVM's $2 / 1GB / 1 vCPU slab is unbeatable on raw price for a Linux box. rdp.monster starts at $8.99/mo (4× more). For pure budget Linux, BuyVM wins.
Windows desktop with admin
★ rdp.monster winsrdp.monster gives you Windows out of the box. BuyVM is mainly Linux: you install Windows yourself on their KVM, it's not preconfigured, and it eats into your bandwidth allocation.
Always-in-stock provisioning
★ rdp.monster winsrdp.monster's plans are always in stock, and provisioning takes ~10 seconds. BuyVM's Vegas stock sells out constantly; restocks are announced on Twitter / r/buyvm and snapped up fast.
Specific POP coverage (Vegas / Luxembourg)
★ BuyVM winsBuyVM runs Las Vegas + Luxembourg + NYC locations with their own ASN and IPv6/BGP routing. rdp.monster covers New York and Europe (Paris): enough for most workloads, but if you specifically need BuyVM's Vegas or Luxembourg datacenter, that's their footprint, not ours.

Where BuyVM actually wins
BuyVM (Frantech Solutions) is a lowendtalk legend. They've been selling cheap Linux KVM since 2010, run by a known operator (Francisco), and have built a multi-location footprint (Las Vegas / Luxembourg / NYC) with their own ASN and IPv6/BGP routing. At $2/mo for a 1GB / 1 vCPU slab, they're unbeatable on raw price.
Their Stallion block storage is also in a class of its own: fast, cheap and built into their KVM slabs at a price nobody else in the LET space matches.
BuyVM stops making sense when you want in-stock provisioning, Windows and modern support. Their Vegas slabs are almost always out of stock, and every restock announced on Twitter / r/buyvm sets off a community rush. If you need a VPS today, not next month, rdp.monster always has stock. Plus a Windows desktop and 24/7 chat support (BuyVM is ticket-only: fine for LET culture, painful if you're used to modern support).

BuyVM alternative: your questions, answered
Is rdp.monster cheaper than BuyVM?
No, BuyVM's $2/mo entry is unbeatable on raw price. rdp.monster's $8.99/mo entry gives you more for the money (Windows, 24/7 support, more cryptos, instant stock). Different deals for different needs.
Why is BuyVM always out of stock?
BuyVM keeps its inventory deliberately small to hold prices down; they don't overbuild or expand fast. Restocks are announced on r/buyvm and Twitter, and the community rushes in. rdp.monster keeps enough stock for on-demand provisioning.
Can rdp.monster do dedicated block storage like BuyVM Stallion?
No, Stallion's per-TB block storage is unique to BuyVM. If you specifically need affordable bulk block storage attached to a KVM slab, BuyVM is the right call. rdp.monster gives you standard local NVMe storage on the VPS.
Does rdp.monster support BGP / bring-your-own IP?
Not on our retail plans: BuyVM's BGP + bring-your-own-IP is an LET-niche feature. rdp.monster gives each VPS standard IPv4 + IPv6 addresses. If you need BGP routing, BuyVM is still the right fit.
Can I run a Windows desktop on rdp.monster?
Yes, a Windows desktop out of the box with full admin rights. BuyVM is mainly Linux; you can install Windows yourself on their KVM, but it's not preconfigured.
Does rdp.monster accept crypto like BuyVM?
Yes: BTC, USDT, XMR, LTC, ETH + 5 more. Same crypto-friendly checkout as BuyVM, with more coins.
What's BuyVM's reputation on Lowendtalk?
Legendary: running since 2010, Francisco is a known and respected operator, and the company has survived years of industry consolidation. Their LET reputation is earned. We just play at a different price point, with Windows-first support and modern chat.
Does rdp.monster have BGP routing or bring-your-own-IP like BuyVM?
Not on our retail VPS plans: BuyVM's own ASN and BGP / bring-your-own-IP are an LET-niche feature. rdp.monster gives each VPS standard IPv4 + IPv6 addresses. If you need BGP routing for a multi-homed setup, BuyVM is still the right fit.
