After doing a bit of VPS feature and price comparison between Namecheap and Vultr I think I would strongly lean towards Vultr.  You can start for as little as $5/mo for 1 CPU and 768 MB of RAM and they have a far more granular and ultimately cheaper pricing structure.

Thank you. Received your PM as well.

I think, the first thing you need to know what you want... a managed VPS or an unmanaged one. For unmanaged VPS, I'd recommend Amazon Cloud over Digital Ocean. For managed VPS, I'd recommend http://besthostfree.com/vps-hosting.html. As evident from the following thread, a lot of people on this forum has used this service as well...

I am going to stake POS coins. I am not sure which type of VPS should I opt.. managed or unmanaged? what difference does it make to run multiple wallets mainly for staking? Appreciate your info.


-If youre staking coins Blackcoin which refers to POS2,  -I guess- 512 MB ram configuration is enough.

PS: Other posters were more interested in VPS services , but I guess you were asking the configuration needed to work with 3 wallets.

Before deciding to buy a VPS , you may need rethink why you want to stake 24/7.

Yes, My only purpose is to run POS2 wallets and stake. I wish to stake 24/7 coz thats how POS2 coins work as I see. Thanks for info.
