Sell me some loss-leaders, but I want them hourly. NOW!
Oh, please. Why do you guys distort everything I say...
Why are you so butthurt when I've never directly attacked you for being a cheap shitty customer?
PMS, I said it.
Get one or more dedis and run a couple of KVMs.
Dude would probably get more leverage with some OVZs. Less overhead that way.
Not butthurt, I just mentioned that you distorted what I said: I didn't demand hourly payments, I just said I don't want to pay yearly.
You implied heavily that you'd prefer hourly.. for a $1/mo service. Then, you removed that from your initial post.
Payment of $1 = about $0.30 after licence/IP/transaction fee's
so... LOL was justified.
Good luck with your budget.
I had told you explicitly that what I needed is for it not to be yearly. I removed to make things easier.
How about Rusty Browns' ring donuts?
But more flexible and more control.
Which license would I have to pay for, may I ask? Let's say I put Ubuntu on either KVM/OpenVZ.
And you said specifically that you want $1 p/month or less
Show me another service you can get for 0.01c p/day or equivalent and I will show you the colocrossing shill host that did not last 12 months!
you dont, we (hosts) do!
I honestly thought $1 would be possible on a OpenVZ, since some $2 KVM/VMware servers are easy to find.
I mean, I asked for 256 MB less RAM, 4x less disk space, and 5x less link speed, than what I have for €2 with KVM.
OK, no problem, I just was curious to know which license.
Hosts have to pay for the licenses to carve up VPS. Some use Proxmox, but it is only supposed to be free for personal use. Solus, Virtualizer, etc.. cost money. They have to pay to get IPs and then pay yearly for them. The cost of this is rising dramatically. They have to buy/rent the dedicated servers to carve them up. They have to pay for coloing said servers. They have to pay people to support said products.
Taking all of this into consideration $1 a month is not even close to feasible. Sure you can find people running specials, that are loss leaders, in the hopes they will garner a bigger customer.
Loss leading means taking a loss in the hopes you, or some one you tell, will buy a more expensive package to make up for it.
