Looking for a free VPS

monsoonmonsoon Member
edited June 27 in Requests

Hello

As the title already states, i need a free, or if not very cheap, dirt cheap VPS. Specifically, I need the ability to

  1. call a MySql database
  2. download ~100Mb data per day
  3. then send the data to an LLM API
  4. receive response form the LLM (~ 50 Mb ingress per day)
  5. finally send the response to an S3 bucket. ( altogether ~80 Mb ingress per day)

All of this can run as background services.

This process should be performed 3-4 times every hour, which is 72-96 times a day. But the total data transfer will be about 150 Mb inbound, and 80 Mb outbound per day.

So I need something that is about 1-2 vcpu, 512mb - 1 GB RAM.

I am looking for option, that will be suitable for this task, but needs to be free, or dirt cheap .
I can do something like 5 - 6 USD per year max, hopefully without a credit card. That is why I am not using google or oracle.

Now, ideally, the platform will allow me to create unlimited tiny VPS , so that I can run each for a separate project, and as the project grows, I will move on to a paid model. For example, this is my search for a VPS to develop an AI powered BPO tool.

If a project does not grow, then I remain on the tiny VPS

Thank you.

    Wait… what? You want the option to create unlimited tiny VPS and MIGHT move to a paid model at a later time? :o

    You might be able to find a NAT server within that price range, but don't expect any fancy cloud infrastructure system to spin multiple independent boxes.

    You could expect help IF that was some opensource project 'for the people'
    Otherwise you might have bad luck
    If you dont need dedicated IP you might be interested with natvps, there you have crypto payments
    https://clients.natvps.net/?/cart/nat-vps-vz7/ 7$ 256mb ram - 12$ 512mb
    or
    https://hosting.gullo.me/pricing
    zram or swap is your friend

    You want to do that, but dont want to pay????
    Get a NAT or some of those cheap under $2/month servers.

    At least no animals will be harmed in this scheme.

    It can be often issue for underage people who cannot have CC or Paypal account.
    Like it could be troublesome for him or her to explain 'dad heres 10$ now I need your credit card numbers', as silly as it sounds.

    Depending on type of project. Have you considered using something like raspberry pi (even zero sounds about fitting)?
    Then you could use any cheapest VPS (even 128mb ram) and forward ports over VPN tunnel (if you need open ports)

    I have thought about that, and a copy of the script is running on a Pi4.

    But, I would want a fully off-site online copy as well.

    It depends on what kind of boiler you get into. And how competent the receiving staff.

  • borowskyborowsky Member

    I did little research so here options*
    https://store.c-servers.co.uk/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0 (ipv6)
    https://dash.reconv.pl/en/order/vps (5.5eur/year LXC 512ram )
    https://ruvps.net/en/vps (0.8eur per month 768ram, 10Mbit)
    https://prientecloud.com/siparis/server/198 (10Mbit 5.69eur per year)

    *I have no idea how credible are those vps and companies. ReconV is somewhat recognized as not scam.

    I keep my word on, best things in life are free. And so is death.
    Its merely process of trying to monetize everything by some people...
    If you accept their point of view, you are kinda dommed.
    Time is money kind of people.

    Can do everything on Github actions for free. Setup a cron trigger for the workflow. Make sure to keep the repo as public as there are no monthly limits for open source projects. For urls, API keys and stuff keep them in repository secrets and you can access them from your actions workflow.

    It's possible to obtain a free death.
    When you are ready, submit yourself to a serial killer.
    You will be brutalized and vaporized, but it's free.

    When you are dead, its all free for you anyway. So your own death will be free by all meanings.
    And such is case for every individual.

    I believe, its for ID verification to avoid single folks taking multiple free server.
    Sure there is black CC market but still its some way to minimize abuse.
    Also AD sort of, which is quite only way why they provide free servers.
    Back in time there were quite few projects for free vps without any confirmations like host4fun but... guess what.... its all dead

    Sure. I am willing to, but I want to have the VPS for my saas MVP, and it'd not be prudent to wait 6 months.
