The future of VPS?
What do you think the future of VPS hosting will look like?
With all the changes i have seen over 2015 i hope 2016 turns out to be better than 2015.
I'm just asking this as it would be an interesting discussing to have.
Thank You for reading

Better processors, better network, lower prices. Like everything tech related.
Well, I think we're all waiting for someone to bring back the true lowend VPS with 32MB offerings.
Nekki could probably run a full-blown LNMP stack on it.
I got a LNMP stack to use about 26MB RAM before.
@mtwiscool I was teasing but I seriously thought you'd vanished with the demise of 32mb.club.
Probably on openvz, not kvm.
32MB RAM VPS's lead to alot of disk IO issues.
Any proper thoughts?
Yes it was on a OpenVZ VPS.
I can start 16/64mb.club if you really want
Customers tired of lack of value with their VPS purchases and deadpooling will go to dedicated servers. I've got 3 dedicated servers and probably 5 VPS servers now when at one time I had 10-20 VPS servers.
RAID0 SSD node?
With 1GB swap?
No, that would make it unsastainable if it already isn't enough.
Can't agree more. For the most part dedicated servers offer better value and less factors that will effect you... e.g you're not sharing the server with loads of other people means you get the full resources and disk throughput that you should expect.
The only real benefit in VPS's is lower cost for client and the easy scaling.
Very true. Make it 2GB then.
(I was joking)
Plus you can virtualize your dedicated server with OpenVZ/KVM/ESXi/Proxmox and sell your friend a VPN or VPS to maybe even cover the costs of your server
That would be good yes
Just make it cheap
Correction: 32MB VPSes lead to a lot of disk issues when you put all of them on a single SATA HDD.
I can just slab a bunch of SSD KVM servers and break even on it. There are some implications: doing so would lead to 10 trillion customers complaining that they aren't getting 24/7 support for a $2/year service.
I can already imagine the "$2/year VPS from is garbage! Support is crap!" threads.
I've already opened a preemptive Paypal dispute.
I predict that the VPS market will begin leaning toward dynamic integrated solutions for horizontal synergy.
With IPV6 supported only, VPS price could be incredible low with no support, as everything is automated.
springs to mind
Sounds an awful lot like tits up
you tell us @mtwiscool what do you think is the future?
I think vps's will stay in the market place ad their is a requirement for them... I.e a hosting customer that has outgrown shred hosting but isn't quite at the full dedicated server end of the requirements table, also for DNS clusters etc.
And of course the let crowd.
However the prices of dedicated servers are falling and bandwidth is getting cheaper. So it may be that we stop buying vps's and start buying low end dedi's
Chip
It will sink unless people who sell stop making sales for even $1 and then providing shit support, equally people who buy it for $1 and then start crying over what they get which is expected.
Self managed dedicated plus IPv6.
I don't think so. That low-low-low end shit doesn't hurt anybody and it keeps some people busy. That's their game and they're welcome to it. The $7 market is obviously sustainable so will continue.
The Q is probably better placed for providers to answer... for me I'd say VPS' simply sort a permissions issue but leaves you with many of the problems of shared hosting. If dedi's of similar power are similarly priced then it's a no brainer. I don't think it's that clear cut as providers stand to make more cash from selling VPS' at the same price, as far as I can tell.
