Lowest End on LET?

What is the "lowest end" provider that has ever been on LET? Anyone hosted out of their home? Very cheap consumer PCs instead of servers? Consumer-grade Internet connection? Power turned off at night?

Most important, would you still host at such a provider, if the price were right, or the location exotic? ;)

    Maybe not the lowest offer ever on LET but @yoursunny has some awesome South Pole colocation with great connectivity. His service is really amazing and super cheap for sure lowend pricing! He is soon expanding to Jupiter from my understanding.

    yoursunny summer host has three services now:

    • IPv9 VPS in Antarctica
    • colocation at the South Pole
    • storage in the Atlantic Ocean

    I'll have experimental IPv4 soon™.
    Jupiter location is longer term plan.

    Mzungu Hosting uses consumer grade network and intermittent power.

    Very cheap consumer PCs instead of servers?

    A lot of providers, including top providers, use consumer grade CPU ("Ryzen"), RAM ("non-ECC"), or storage ("RAID 0"):

    • Hetzner
    • Kimsufi
    • BuyVM
    • SpartanHost
    • PremiumBytes
    • VirMach (after migration away from ColonCrossing)

    Most important, would you still host at such a provider, if the price were right, or the location exotic? ;)

    Yes, I will use Mzungu Hosting when their stock is replenished.
    My app is designed as a distributed system, so that losing a node or two won't affect its availability.

    I don't know about lowest end ever but one host has remained true to it's LET roots for an impressively long time; https://www.ramhost.us/

    Well, gravity did hold my CPU Fan on the socket for a while, until I upgraded to RYZEN.

    This is perfect! And quite a bargain at $110/month for 32m RAM!

    I have a 1c/768mb/15GB/1T from VirMach for $4.50/yr that is pretty sweet. And that's not counting free or lifetime services from various providers. But he's definitely not "low end" except in price. I'm talking about janky hardware, tenuous network and power, and sketchy locations. Maybe the whole operation is running off a USB drive, on a Raspberry Pi taped under a seat at McDonald's, running over their free wifi. :)

    The lowest end is probably HostSolutions.

    Try them. You will love it.

    Thank you. I was wondering how long that would take. I was guessing 3 minutes, not 93...

    Lowest end on LET is usually the people not the provider though...

  • The lowest end is @ezeth ? but not from home

    That is a proof that LET is going downhill.

  • The KVM LEB offers from WiredBlade are pretty cheap but the whole WiredBlade/Pivo/Dynu issue got me hesitant to get another plan from them.

    No, I'm looking for hosts running out of f garages and basements etc :)

    I'd prefer RFC1149. Much more eco-friendly.

    I have a BeagleBone Black in my closet.
    If I sell a slice, it would be crummy Tunnel Broker IP.

    https://pushups.ndn.today
    Everyone should have remembered it by now.

    It runs on Named Data Networking with many nodes around the world: https://yoursunny.com/p/ndn6/map/

    Losing one node would increase latency for some viewers, but won't bring down the awesome push-up videos.
    Losing two nodes won't bring down the network, but it could be problematic because I only have two video repository servers.

    :D

    On the other side, I am currious, do you trust desktop grade systems for your applications/data?????

    Consumer Grade systems ar cheaper - YES, more relayable - NO.

    I would not trust something without ECC Memory, but you are free to "not agree"

    I would trust non-ECC with web/app servers for non-financial uses, but probably not a database server. I think all Ryzen's support ECC, given the right memory and motherboard.
