INSERT COIN TO CONTINUE

It's not a plan! It's in production now I just need to sell 1000 VMs on this nested virtual server.
@hostdare - It kinda read that it was possibly VMs thought it was a bit ambitious!
I can only imagine that truly unsustainable plans must be offered on limited basis for the purpose of generating publicity, or for short term gains (possibly scam?).
If the service CAN be run indefinitely, then it is not unsustainable. So the question is how do cheap $5/yr VPS providers actually make it sustainable?
It is like compromise on performance.service down daily etc .When you buy a 5 USD vps , expectations should be lowest level !
I don't even charge friends $5 P/Year because I still want to provide them a good service, reliability but it does question to why people would want to do that, it cannot be profitable and with it being $5 I'm not even going to get a coffee and a sandwich let alone pay for my fuel when I need to drive to the Datacenter.
3 second is far more acceptable than My expectation. Moreover, 6-7 second is more than acceptable. What if nothing loads in 1 Minute ??
And, Honestly, none will ask for SLA, Support for 45¢/Month. But, shouldn't it load ?? :v And if you can't provide that can even load, why to sell such plan ?? Just to get some email address/whatever else + $5 sounds legit :P
Yes it SHOULD, but 1 must consider what is being loaded.
If the server is struggling to serve static content in under 7 seconds, then it's never really acceptable (assuming we are talking about CPU load here). Since loading time can be affected by latency, and data transfer rates, this may need to be factored in. But assuming you have low latency and your usage is very low (reasonable) then you should always expect fast loading times since static content requires virtually no resources at all.
If you have a fully loaded WordPress on the other hand, without any real optimizations, then heck, even not loading at all could be considered reasonable, since your usage may be greater than you would expect, or even considered 'fair'.
Maintaining Dedicated Server for more than 4 Years, I know about these factors, don't worry. No WP, it can't load simple html files.
Then the server is either underpowered, or overloaded & oversold, or all of it. I've seen servers with up to 4000 users that actually work just fine.
Whatever it is, not of My concern. They should provide something that actually works !
I can't and won't argue with that. At this point, you should looking for an alternative.
If you do not think this works and well, I mean this style of management then take a good long look at WalMart.
Plans and prices like this is the only way some providers can make it.
They have no money in reserve to make the monthly bills so they need to do stupid pricing to cover rent for coming month(s).
Back when LEA was still king it was incredibly common to see providers kick out $15/year plans in hopes of generating enough float to carry them through the year. The problem is that many of these providers cashed that money out and spent it on personal stuff, etc.

Well, some LES provider claimed 350 OVZ on Raid 1.
The situation is much more complex and in in your description also falls (some) VPS Providers. I give you an example. I buy 3 months ago two 30€ Year plans of 6GB Ram, 40GB Space,2 vCPU Cores from a UK Provider that post on LET too (PS: provider tag). I use Nodequery for vps load check and Nixstats for Domain Timeout check. I receive domain timeout alert from Nixstats and vps alert from Nodequery about high server load even if my domains are idle and not generating traffic at all. I try to access ssh and vps is unresponsive, i try to access solus and is generating a timeout error, i try to load the domain and obviously does not respond. Always the same problems (OFC The vps was haaaaaaard oversold) several times in a day.
There is a sea of mediocrity and Yes, Just selling & making profit is a short term strategy for many people (it's sad). Its not a long term strategy because you dont fool me twice (and I will make you goood advertising
) and an unhappy customer means that you lose at least 10 potential customers.
I have mentioned earlier, I had no expectation from them as I know the reality. I just paid for the product just to try out curiosity & I was not wrong. It turned into just the same I thought. And, here we're discussing the point of doing these sort of stuffs.
I think, @johnnymatt clarified the issue smoothly
