$5/year VPS
Nigh is risen,
Now that my beloved alphawootnfpbytes has floated off into the abyss, along with their crazy $5/year offers, I'm on the lookout for the next best thing for my hobby of running deadly experiments on dirt cheap toys from the internet.
For today's experiments, I want to run a small DNS server, so it must have an IPv4 address - this rules out NAT (unfortunately)
Otherwise, the specs required are extremely minimum.
Any amount of RAM over 64mb would suffice (for OpenVZ/LXC).
1GB storage would work.
CPU can be a potato as long as it emits at least 3.6 Roentgen/hr from the potassium.
Location and network also unimportant, 10mbit connection is perfect.
Extra points if there is a location SELECTER offered for superior redundancy and insurance against single node catastrophe.
Can increase budget to $8 if server is strong on plow.
Sirs, thank you.

You know how many $6 VirMach deals there were last BF?
The problem is the IPv4 address is worth about $6/year alone.
I give up, how many?
More than any one person could idle.
Challenge accepted
So you need one IPv4 address for less than 42 cents per month...if nothing else. Right?
Based on records about 25 flash sales VPS were sold by VirMach at < $6/yr, with highest RAM 640MB / SSD 30GB.
The cheapest non easter-egg one is $0.95/yr
I got one of the $6 ones in LA with :
That's what it boils down to.
Woah, thanks for sharing that If nothing comes of this thread, I'll just wait for BF
They wanted to beat @cam and his insane BF $1 NAT VPS offer.
I believe you missed it, the cheapest one by @cam is $0.70/yr
Anyway now I am low key regret for not buying the $0.95/yr one by VirMach
Yeah after buying one of the $1 ones (I didn't think he could go any lower) I also went for one of the later $0.70 ones.
178 days until ...
I picked up one of the VirMach OVZ BF deals with those specs (512 MB ram, 15 GB SSD) in Seattle for $4.75/y last time around. (I think it was one of the first of several flash sale impulse buys that weekend ... no ragrats!)
This BF: See who can go lower than $0.7/yr
Were you able to measure the potassium's emissions, sir?
If I can be approved of a provider, I can provide $0.12/yr for the same spec.
Maybe much better like 1vCORE, 256MB Ram, 5 SSD, 500GB traffic.
1 cent per month.
In other words, $0.01/m.
With NAT.
Location: Virginia.
For that price why not give it for free? You dont have to be a provider to give out free services. Btw count me in

roentgen >= 3.6 at all times
what do you want to know ?
sequential write speed around 600 MB/s
uptime is fine (I reboot it every so often as I am in the habit of doing so after updates)
I haven't monitored the network but could certainly endeavor to ascertain the velocity of transference to various locations of interest, if that might be of interest to you.
tl;dr: remarkably superior potassium for less than 2 cents a day
Let the poor guy have his 12 cents!
Excellent work, comrade. It sounds like the potassium is indeed superior. I'll be honest, I have forgotten about virmach.
I do not believe in a free society. It doesn't make sense.
Give and take.
Well the problem is for $0.12 the payment processing fee is going to cost a lot more than that. I am not blaming you, but just a suggestion
The VirMach Black Friday flash sale thread is actually still in play - you might inquire there as to whether any of the addled adherents may be willing to pass along any of their extra idlers (though that necessary $3 fee for the VirMach to process the transfer will already be over half your budget, lol)
I also take cash. Just let me know where and when we can meet.
Outstanding investigation work, sir. I will see if I can convince someone to trade their VPS to me and for them to pay the fee. Those feels when the fee exceeds the yearly budget. I might come back with a "female" profile and stir the nest a bit, I'm sure some nerd will be happy to oblige.

I'll mail you a dime and two pennies.
