When VPN activity isn't legally or morally kosher. You don't want your business to be associated with whatever sick foot fetish this guy has.
I used to mine monero in the early days, where cpu mining was decent.
Could pay my KS-4C monthly with it and still earn 5$ each month, by using 50% of its CPU power.
It was at idle anyway, so no loss.
I use several vps that are quite stable for client websites, while nat vps for personal vpn
Do you have experience with green cloud shutting down servers because of kubernetis ? Wtf of the policy is that ?
Now crypto mining is not allowed or not profitable?
Good one.... 10% earning
Their policy is clearly stated in TOC. The problem is Kubernetes constantly uses CPU to check the state of clusters. More pods mean more CPU usages. That's why they shut down the servers.
I usually use mine to keep my professional skills honed. I suppose that indirectly counts as "mak[ing] [me] some money" XD
Se what you do is buy those big packs of bottled water in plastic bottles with food stamps, then you empty them out in the parking lot and return them for the deposit refund which they pay you in cash. You take that cash to pay for a nice collection of low end VPS's spread across the planet and idle them. Then you make map of where all your VPS servers are to put on a dashboard. Wash and repeat every few months.
Wait you can make money from vps whoaaa
A VPS is like a stay-at-home wife, used only for certain desires and will not generate income.
Other than idling , does anyone used proxy sharing services ( basically you make your VPs as a proxy and sell to ppl ) does it violates tos of providers ?
İ'm still single
Yes to both for most VPS providers. Crypto mining is not allowed by VPS providers. If your VPS provider actually allows crypto mining (good luck finding one!), it won't be profitable.
VPS providers do not object to crypto mining per se. What they object to is the impact of the load on the other VPSs on the same physical server. That excessive share of the load would be caused by the crypto mining performed by your one lonely VPS. All the other VPSs on that same server would suffer performance issues.
Furthermore, crypto mining is not generally considered profitable on a VPS, period. If it were, then VPS providers would be using their hardware for crypto mining instead of renting them out as VPSs. No pesky customers with complaints, to start. It is the same logic that explains why people do not buy up computer hardware and plug them into their home electrical outlets to mine crypto.
If you insist on running crypto mining from your VPS, find a provider and tell them what you want to do. They will charge you more, or maybe offer a full-on dedicated server of your own. You can divide up a dedicated server into many VPSs, all mining crypto, or just use the dedicated server as a single crypto miner. Any way you work it out, you are likely to lose money.
There was one recent LowEndTalk member who insisted that they had found a way to make large profits through a crypto mining scheme with VPSs. They insisted that it was already making them large profits. Of course they never explained the details. I was not going to call them a liar, but I confess here that I did not believe their claims. Search for their thread here on LowEndTalk; it happened in the last few months.

Here is the plan so far....
Here are some ( theoretical) ideas from my side ( of course besides idling )
1. You can lower price for services you are already using , by deploying own services ( VPN , storage , website monitoring etc )
2. You can share your bandwidth (basically your VPs become a proxy server ) probably this leads to some kind of troubles with your providers , but some may allow
3. You can run a crypto validator node ( this requires hi end VPs ) proof of stake of course , and stake some coins
4. You can deploy microservices and sell on places like rapidapi
may i know which provider do u use. i would like to try arm server as well
Oracle cloud gives free arm (and quite powerfully VPs )
In my niche area, sales & marketing,
most of companies use Zapier, Airtable for their Growth Hacking usage, with crazy budgets ...
For small process, you could deploy similar solutions with open sources apps like n8n, NocoDB, etc.
It's just about lead generation, nothing critical requiring 99.9%. as long as the job is done ...
A VPS is very good for small customers, or just to build demonstration models...
please don't ask people what they use it for; they have a million reasons for using VPS. When I sell something I will never ask anyone how they use and why they chose it. Only took the money.
VPS is the last thing you need to generate income.
Just put "Hello World"
for idlers
may be i custom it with "Hello Income"
I don't think running proxy sharing services on VPS's make a profit or even a decent income, only if the VPS IP is marked as residential, then it might make some profit.
There are some (very niche) cryptocurrencies that could probably make you a profit mining on VPS's, I know some people who used to mine on VPS's or even RockPi/Raspberry Pi's because it made them enough profit to justify the expenditure.
How to check whether the VPS ip is residential or not?
As the crypto market is bearish these days, do you know which ones are profitable?
