Buffalo - OpenVZ
High ssd.
Thanks @Daniel15 and @Daevien I was asking because there are KVM storage offers and I'm more used to using OpenVZ. I would expect to use Debian 7/8/9 as the OS. Would using full-disk encryption in KVM make things unreasonable slow on a 512MB RAM or should that be a good use case for such a storage server?
Why would you want to use disk encryption? Are you not trusting VirMach?
Encryption is probably more a CPU issue than ram.
Well their billing machine did try to kill people.

I don't use full disk encryption for my backups, I encrypt them with the backend, so I'm not sure how much that woudl wreck either, but yeah it's more cpu / io over all than ram related
The experience will be near identical with KVM vs OpenVZ if you're just doing basic Linux stuff. You'll just notice more freedom with KVM if you ever want to customize the kernel or anything like that. Given a choice, I'd personally pick KVM, but if you get an OpenVZ box for a good price then that'd be fine too.
Also, Debian is great! I've been using it on servers for probably 15 years now
For what it's worth, I use encryption (via ecryptfs) on one of my VPSes... It has Authenticode and GPG signing keys for a popular open source program, which obviously I don't want to leak. Same with private keys of other sorts (SSL private keys, etc). It's not that I don't trust the host, it's just that I don't want malicious people to be able to exfiltrate the data if there's some sort of security vulnerability that lets people somehow escape the container and touch files from other VPSes on the same server.
Encryption uses quite a bit of CPU though... I've only ever used it on providers that have dedicated CPU (eg. BuyVM slice 4096 or above).
Good luck with your init system.

I actually don't mind systemd, and you can switch back to sysvinit if you really want to (
apt-get install sysvinit-core)@VirMach When will the last flash deal drop?
Agreed. 512MB is fine, but really need the AES CPU flags enabled otherwise you're gonna have a bad time with high CPU usage.
Could try this though if it's not enabled (haven't done it, but appears to work) https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/132214/force-kernel-aes-ni-usage-on-a-vps-without-the-aes-cpu-flag
That's a couple miles over my head, but thanks xD.

When you need some extra ram and cpu but 10 GB SSD is fine.
@VirMach
Hey if you feel like throwing some LA, windows machines with decent ram CPU and disk into the mix I'd be happy to jump on some. You know..... If you feel like it.

You guys gotta stop holding out hope for crazy deals, all the big stuff goes on Friday and maybe the weekend if there's enough hype. Monday always fizzles out. It's the leftovers of the leftovers.
Its worth a shot
I slept through the last few decent ones just wouldn't mind a crack at one again. Plus LA is probably the most usable for myself.

I should have probably bought this one instead of some of the others that were $1 less. Maybe I should get this one, too... xD

Must resist OVZ, I've already got a couple in LA I don't really use lol
