Product lineVPS
Why this productBandwagonHost's entry KVM plan, listed first on its homepage now that the 20G KVM and 20G CN2 GIA-E plans have left regular sale (around Oct 30, 2026). The CN2 GIA-E line is the community favourite but starts far higher. Brand has 2,400 US searches a month (Semrush).
