Temporarily VPS needed @ CC, Buffalo

in Help

Hello,

I need a temporarily VPS, to mount ISO's in my dedicated server, using samba.

Specs are really slow:
128MB RAM
10GB HDD
50GB Bandwidth
1 IPv4

Anyone? Will need it for a week, maximum.

    My personal preference is spinning up a Vultr windows instance for an hour to mount any virtual media, get through the install and then kill the instance. Think it's about $0.04/hr

    I was looking at the custom ISO one, any reason why that won't work?

    What @William said.

    I'm just lazy. I hit launch on a 2012 instance and I get an RDP login, jump in.. install a couple things quickly and I'm ready to go. If I did it often I would just create a snapshot and launch new instances from that.

    I would do the same if I only needed it once, but if more than that I would spend some time find an ISO and then launch it from there. Every bit of savings will add up XD (please don't blame be for being cheap haha)
