FAQ
- How do you rank plans for Plex / Jellyfin under $40/mo?
- We score plans using comparable monthly price (USD), specs, refund notes, benchmarks when available, and latency-tier signals. Always verify details on the provider checkout page.
- Can I choose a different region/city for these plans?
- Some providers let you pick a location at checkout. For exact country/city filtering (and payment methods, route tags, and latency tiers), use VPS Finder.
- Why are some plans not linked?
- To avoid thin/duplicate pages, we only link to plan pages that meet minimum content signals (benchmarks, editorial notes, measured latency, or tracked price history).
