What will you do with this: [KVM|8 vCPU|16G Ram|10G SSD|7T Traffic@$37/yr]

I bought this BF special plan from Virmach, and used it for MySQL + Redis hosting. Now the 10GB storage is too small for my data, so I switched to other VPSs.

Here is the problem: What can I do with a VPS that has more memory than storage?
What will you do?

Edit: I also have a 50G VPS at the same location and can mount with sshfs. But it would be very slow for small file transfer.

Edit2: Decided to use it as a Rstudio-Server.

    Actually, what I'd really do is transfer it to uhu so that he/she can idle it as hard as possible.

    Sure, I also have a 50G VPS at the same location and tried to mount with sshfs.
    But if you try to use it for PHP hosting or it will be VERY slow.

    may i ask what was the cost? and are you thinking about transferring?

  • uhuuhu Member

    OK, you have to be sensible about what you put where, use CDNs, etc, but it can work.

    Probably.

  • ehabehab Veteran

    i will take it from you if you wish let it go.

    one last request can you please do a https://www.geekbench.com/ thanks in advance

  • Over the millions, of servers / vps out there, I wonder how much are idling :wink:

    With most of Internet traffic being bots, and most of servers idling, the Internet is a bit empty :sweat_smile:

  • can empathize with your woes. I guess no choice, it has to come down to transferring it over to cybertech

    ram and cores are the key part here, even they are not dedicated but i can use it for eleasticsearch logs for example.

  • Plex with GoogleDrive storage for personal use.

    Great idea!

    You are right! I'm considering to deploy one for self-learning.

    I have one OVZ with Virmach, got 8 vcore and 15 GB RAM, 100 GB HDD, I run 30 node.js processes and 2 Java Apps, consumes about 10 GB approx, and the Java apps make use of all cores reasonably, without violating ToS.
    I have one KVM, 13 GB, 20 GB, 6 cores, got with windows, it is still idling, wanted to run docker, yet to check whether it could really run docker, if so, I will be using it happily, cheapest configuration for docker and my cloud apps.

    Next time, I am going to cancel all my OVZ with virmach and all other providers, shall stick with KVM with docker support.

    I am happy with netcup root servers, which can go up to 100%, running big data, analytics works, I will stick with them forever for real project work, use VirMach only for testing purpose.

    Yes, it can with KVM in Virmach, I have tested it.

    And I'm waiting for the Netcup special deal stock.
