Any stable VPS for less than 10 buck a year?
Hey
The recent topic on LEB (didn't go there for a while!) made me consider very small LEB like well.. far back in the days when LEA was still around.
Are there any offers you know of, with current stock available (other than intergralhost of course) that would be both cheap and stable?
There will probably be some soon for black friday (if providers have IPv4 in stock :P) but are there any interesting deal for a small yearly vps currently?

VirMach (leb30 code). ArubaCloud and LiteServer (25eggs code) both are quite close too.
https://clients.gestiondbi.com/index.php?/cart/deepnet-solutions-vps/&step=0 maybe? Also second liteserver as they have been performing very nicely for me. Not matching your request perfectly but with the cost of v4 IPs these days offers below 10$/y will be very rare i guess and you also mentioned stable on top of that.
We can work out some NVMe for you at $15/year? Little bit more costly but with E3v6, NVMe, DDR4, DDoS protection and own network with custom panel.......... I wouldn't say $5/year more is a lot
5$/y isn't a lot but as it's for a project where I don't need much ressources (static website) I don't really need to pay more for good CPU or NVMe... But thanks for your offer, I might consider it in the future.
If it's just a static website you can put it on S3 and it will be cheaper than 10 bucks per year.
Nice, thanks! They also had 3$/y vps not long ago that would have been enough for my purpose, but it's out of stock.
@mksh heard great things about gestiondbi, might be the right time to try them out.
Anynode.net has some kvms for $12.50/year if you can budge a bit.

If all you want to host is a website and you don't care about cloudflare being evil a nat vps behind cloudflare free plan will be unbeatable price wise.
I should try that some day, from a quick google search it seems that it's possible to get it work with an ssl cert using cloudfront. I'm going to dig to see how costly it could be.
A VPS would allow to do more than just static file hosting if needed later on that's why I'd favor this option, but it should be possible to play quite well with the limits imposed by S3...
Yeah, seen their offer, and they seem solid & to offer a nice service, the few more bucks are probably worth it.
Thought about that, but I'd like to find a solution that doesn't involve cloudflare. I've seen that some nat VPS come with a reverse proxy shared with other customers, that could be an option worth trying too, but I'd have preferred the ability to run on a dedicated IPv4.
get a LES !

take a look here, good service by @RIYAD
Seems like you need to host your dns with Amazon Route 53 to be able to use an ssl cert, it adds 6$/y. Do you know by chance if there's a way to bypass this - or would it be ultra cheap only for a non-tls website? (Not exactly what I'm looking for for this particular project, but seems like a really nice option to host a static website)
"haproxy on VPS node" seems fun, but I guess it means no ssl cert would be possible (unless some automated let's encrypt stuff is setup on the same vm as haproxy... which from my reading isn't the case yet) (?)
Nice, didn't notice this one in the offer section. Pretty good specs for the price. Have you been with them for a while? Works good?
yeah, using for over a year and half now. Have 6 box (none of these though, using KVM only). Works very well. Can vouch for them.
Some providers only use haproxy on port 80, some use nginx to forward the traffic.
I forward both http and https (use your own certificate) So if you get a couple of my locations you can setup a HA solution over https.
Certificate would have to be manually setup on a web interface, or there is a way to automate that? (Would be painful to use let's encrypt if that's manual only)
You setup the certificate on your own vps.
I only forward the traffic.
In short; you setup your webserver (or whatever) as you would on any other vps.
In the client area you add the domain you want to use and if you should forward HTTP or HTTPS or BOTH (2 records).
If you want to use lets envrypt, you set it up on your vps. I don’t need the certificate at all.
It is very simple.
Guess I need a Knowledge base article on how you do it.
It is very simple.
Nice, seems worth trying!
stable for that price = good luck with support and with uptime and speed you have an outage or they go out of business you better have your data back up all i'm saying
LEB + IPv6 + Cloudflare
It'll be fully acessible even from IPv4-only networks, and will cost you no more than 5bucks/year
BunnyCDN + Storage Zones might be a good option too
If you don't need a dedicated IP address, try a NAT VPS. You can proxy the IPv6 address over Cloudflare to allow IPv4 access too. @cam can hook you up for cheap! Otherwise, wait for Black Friday to come in a month or so...
