Any 32/64MB plans left?

I was searching for a nice cheap 32 or 64mb plan and I tought I found one at lowendspirit. Too bad I can't order there anymore. (Another story and InceptionHosting got the full right to do that, no harsh feeling) anyways, I only know SecureDragon however I was hoping there are any cheaper options. Because $11 is cheap, but not if you compare it to the 96mb box from ipxcore for $12 a year. However I still want a 32 or a 64 vps just so I can add it to my collection and see how good it works :) Also afterwards as a personal vpn server.

Location: If possible in Europe because of the vpn server however USA is also good as long as it is middle or east. (West is giving a too high latency)

Yearly payment is obvious a must :)

    Honestly, after paypal costs for most providers its not worth it. I'd check prometeus (don't know if they have it though).

  • I edited my post that I want to pay yearly. I know paying that less monthly is not worth it.

    if not mistaken, they don't offer such low end anymore
    lowest was like 128 now, i guess

    And that server is full. Might as well have given out 256mb for $1/month instead.

    prmgr has had 64MB plans for a long time, but they're a lot more expensive. vpslink does too but they're more expensive and don't have a great reputation.

    For VPSes, I don't think the price scales perfectly down to the 32MB. There's a floor to cost because of the overhead of handling your account, payment processing, the other resources in the plan, etc. So you can't really take a 128MB plan, divide it by 4, and expect to pay that price for 32MB.

    @taronyu We can do a yearly in Netherlands or any 3 locations in US (Chicago, Buffalo or Los Angeles).

    If you have a exact budget I'm sure we can work on the cost :)

    For 10.50$ per year I can get you:

    L0 – Low End Special
    64MB RAM
    64MB vSwap
    5GB Disk Space
    80GB Bandwidth per month
    1 IPv4 Address
    100Mbit connection
    OpenVZ/SolusVM
    $10.50/Year

    Exactly.
    It's not a linear function.

  • @Janevski said: Exactly.

    It's not a linear function.

    I understand, that is the reason why I'm asking here. I know all the big/known providers here and they don't offer this. I was hoping to find something like ipxcore 32mb plans.

    I know StormVZ, and it is actually my first choice. Also before your post. :)

    I'm not sure theyre still available, but InceptionHosting sometimes do a €3/year 64mb server. It has a shared NAT IPv4 address, though, and 5 IPv6 addresses.

    Edit: didnt read your first paragraph at all :<

  • @jelly said: Edit: didnt read your first paragraph at all :<

    I was happy I could order one, but because of my privacy I used a fake phone number (not knowing it had to be verified) and ordered on my vpn (wich I never noticed). Asked them, they closed my account so I bought a service from another mail and I was just busy sending a ticket to explain everything when he decided to bann me.

    Sucks but nothing I can do about it. And well, I just had to be fair the first time.

    I like VDS6's 128MB RAM $0.95 monthly plan in Germany. I'm probably one of the only ones who likes it though (FreeBSD only, IPv6 only). :)

    edit: I missed your VPN requirement. IRC is OK, but VPN won't work on these.

  • I have a 64mb Xen plan from Inception Hosting and a 64mb KVM on my own node. For KVM/Xen I wouldn't go below 64mb as kernels tend to not boot with less. 64mb isn't enough for CentOS 6 but is for CentOS 5.

  • I think the cost of an IP would outweigh the profit from one of these mini plans

    I'm wondering the same thing. Some hosts have < $2/month plans but at the same time they ask for $2.5 or sometimes more for an additional IPv4. I went ahead and ordered a second VPS instead since it was cheaper..

  • We have 64/128mb VPS for $9.95/year but its sold out we only release 10 each month.

    Thank you

    What prevents me from offering it is skids. And our current rate plans are selling well enough as is.

    Its sad but true, makes things painful for legitimate customers sometimes.
