Back on the day when I was coming to lowendtalk it was crazy, like candy shop everywhere 12€/year deals about vps etc. I know its not BF but providers give us some @oldschool crazy deals!

    CPanel killed summerhost, sorry. No insane deals in 2019. It's gonna take few months for kids to understand their new licensing structure. By then, they need to go back to school.

    Then they will need to learn how to work with DA. We already have "How do I install DA" threads on LET.

    In short, too much work.

    It's better now than it has ever been, except maybe for very low priced annual plans (12€/year etc) because of ipv4 depletion. Even those aren't really gone, and you get more resources than you used to. Or for 20€/year you get a heck of a lot more. Remember when BuyVM's $15/y plan knocked everyone out? It was a 128MB OpenVZ. Who buys anything like that now? And don't get me started on storage: everybody now has a $5/TB plan, which was insane less than a year ago.

    If you want a super cheap very basic VPS, NAT is the way to go. It deserved to get more traction than it did but it is still around, with several providers and lots of locations.

    It's more not a lot of people are coming up with their own ideas.

    Both of those things are originally BuyVM's marketing. The idea of slices and dedicated resources too. Now everyones on that band wagon :P

    People need to be more creative, but it's hard when you're on a near 100% rented infrastructure.

    Yep. IIRC BuyVM was also the first to have SSD-cached OpenVZ and that saved low end hosting for a while (it's less important now that everything is pure SSD due to SSD costs dropping).

    The main new idea at the super low end is LES-style NAT, which I was really into for a while, but it didn't really catch on.

    I'd like to see cheap Imgur-like static file hosting and have a request thread open for it. I don't know of any LET host offering it. I think it has to be static to prevent some XSS and cookie theft attacks.

    Another idea, maybe impractical for LET: register an ICANN TLD and sell super cheap random domains on it, like pay $1/year and get assigned tDrqqB29.random or whatever (you don't get to pick it yourself). Adds some minor amount of privacy, keeps stuff cheap, kills domain squatting.

    Maybe some Heroku-like app hosting? Serverless, which seems to be the current incarnation of old-school cgi? Pushbutton blogs with spam filtering all set up already?

    You can always go with Freenom .TK / .ML / .GA / .CF / .GQ free domains, no?

    Isn't there a risk of being put into a pigeonhole? The moment your domain gets significant traffic, you must begin paying for it? I could be wrong, but I thought that was the basis of the Freenom strategy.

    I got hosed on a .tk a long time ago. Anything free is just suspicious: they want their hand in your pants in one way or another. I'd rather just pay money directly. It feels cleaner that way.

    KVM NAT with IPv6 (or even IPv6 only without NAT) could be a thing - ala @Neoon's nanoKVM and @MasonR's FreeMach.

    Also have @exception0x876's KVM NAT storage as an example of a viable paid KVM NAT. And @HostDoc does an IPv6-only storage KVM as well.

    @willie I remember you posted about the https://1mb.site/ project - would be cool to see some more in that area

    ITLabs said: You can always go with Freenom .TK / .ML / .GA / .CF / .GQ free domains, no?

    would not recommend for anything beyond a temporary test domain - Freenom is notorious for yanking their free domains out from underneath people making use of them.
