BuyVM is scammy. They offer a "$1" Plan but all locations are out of stock. Tnen they say it's available on cloudvm where the same package starts at $3
The claim that BuyVM is scammy contradicts my experience. I have had excellent customer service from them. Yes, like (say) airline tickets, the demand for their lowest-priced offerings exceeds the supply available at that price point, and if you're not willing to wait, you will pay more. But new supply seems to come online about twice a month when billing cycles expire, and there is a Discord channel ("BuyVMStock") that can alert you when this happens. Me, I'm hanging on to my underutilized server there just because it's so cheap to keep at the ready, and I suppose this is why they have so little availability. But if they were actually scammy there would be much more churn.
Tbf, they could have become scammy. The previous owner , Francesco , recently (less than a year ago?) sold BuyVM because he wanted to focus on a new endeavor.
That being said, BuyVM stock was always low. You had to register on some website were you were told when what you wanted became available.
