Hai,
Just wanted to ask if any provider is willing to provide a good VPS deal for Valentines Day, here are the requirements:
- ≥ 256MB of RAM (can be combination of pure RAM and swap)
- ≥ 2GB of disk space
- ≥ 100GB of bandwidth @ 1Gbps OR ≥ 200GB @ 100Mbps
- at least one vCore, duh
PLZ GIFF ME GOOD DEAL BECAUSE I AM 4EVA ALONE.
≤ $5/yr ($0 is preferred)

That offer from @traffic is close. Also didn't hostbd do a 5/yr plan
Looks like OVH provides it every day. Love OVH.
Where
Did...
That @davidgestiondbi offer via @traffic is your best bet at about $6.?/y
'unsustainable' offers from non-idiot providers are the way to go. (@drserver, @mchphil, @serverian have all done these at some point and work fine to-date)
Edit: heck, someone might sponsor that vps for a 'Open-source project Hosting sponsored by -provider-' link on your www.
I think I seen it before, thanks for the heads up. Have one box in the same DC as their LA location (Swift Internet), so will probably use it, as it would be used for communications between with HostUS LA, AlphaRacks LA (Swift Internet DC), and they seem to be < 1ms apart when I run a MTR.
Yeah!
Well, I'm making a SSO for all my websites' backend, so I don't have to remember passwords for all of them, so I don't think anyone will see it, other than me.
I have another LES box serving as my Git server, but yeah, its pretty decent. Most of my code are closed sourced, so I wouldn't expect anyone to want to sponsor that
I do recommend providers (particular LES ones) to my other online friends out of this community, since they do a pretty good job and their services are really worth for the price.
Royalty cant afford over $5 ?
Shoutout to gitlab.com(free private repos! ). I'm using them now, as I got tired of ensuring perfect upgrades on each fortnight's release of my self-hosted gitlab.org instance (1.5gb ram at rest) .
The idea is: transitioning to self-hosted in the future, won't be jarring, since your UI muscle memory would carry over.
Lent my friends my PayPal account so they can make their purchases, they paid me in cash and now my card has $7 SGD.
Too lazy to head get my card topped up right now, I don't go to the shopping centre everyday after school (to idle) anymore, since I now have triple the workload to handle everyday.
Use Gogs instead, its nice and runs < 256MB RAM. I made a script to update my installation, so when a new one comes out I can update the gist (to the new zip URL) and wget & run it.
gitlab bloody hell slow
Github then, get the paid subscription via Github Education
enjoy some private repos!
Be careful even from "non idiot providers", a provider, that you can certainly call non idiot, offered one with a hidden catch: it renice 19 any process you run in that vm that wasn't in its process whitelist.
I have come here to tell you about BitBucket.
Unlimited. Private. Repositories.
Well I'm not surprised if they
renice 19
onsudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root
, its called damage control>
I have come here to tell you about selfhosting your Git server.
Unlimited. Private. Repositories.
with full control under you, and Git Hooks work really well and can automatically deploy my code to respective boxes
Setting aside your horrible joke, I think you're a smart guy and knows why renice 19 in a oversold and loaded server is bad.
But free?
I think @traffic has probably sold so many plans here lately, after spamming every thread, that he should be able to give you a free vps to give back to the community.
Thanks for this one - this is the first time someone told me that my joke is horrible... Well I'll make better jokes next time then
I know what it means, used it before to make sure I don't get suspended by another LES provider when I was running apt-get (CPU and Disk I/O usage was crazy)... PM'ing you soon to get more info - I don't need everything to be
renice 19
'd.No. But as good as free, when you have LES
That would be nice of him, probably will repay him one day if he does that
Mercurial, my first choice dvcs.
No point in fighting the git horde now. All thanks to Github momentum.
wow this guy leaks out whatsapp chat. he must be the new Edward Snowden
I'm Edwin Snowden.
I have two plans...
One five usd
One 3.5 GBP
Unfortunately both are out of stock... #virmach
Myserverplanetltd...
Specs are good... ☺
Thanks a lot for the mention guys! Really appreciate it.
@theroyalstudent here's the offer they meant. If you choose LA it will be Quadranet.

Thanks! QuadHost contacted me too, will be running tests between the two providers from both my servers and home internet to see which one is a better choice. Probably GestionDBI though, since QH offered me London.
