What have you learnt from LowEndTalk?

I got to learn about LowEndTalk while searching on cheap, alternative ways to host my mini Python scripts. I only joined this space for 1.5months, I have gained many insights on the budget VPS space. Learning how to benchmark, compare prices and even bought my very first VPS recently, thanks to this community! More to learn too! Hopefully to also contribute back so that others can learn from me as well.

So, what is your greatest takeaway from LowEndTalk?

    • Always go Debian.

    1. keep your card out of reach
    2. incase you remember the card details, keep that phone which receives the authentication otp away

    while surfing LET, since certain deals are so luring in terms of pricing vs specs, that you tend to over purchase and then
    1. get upset on your self for over spending
    2. keep the box idling

    I've learned that eventually, VPSs are for collecting, not for production purposes but for running Yabs.

    All servers unlimited storage, RAM, IPv4 addresses and 10Gbps dedicated port with unlimited bandwidth at $7 per month or $10-$15 per year 😂😂😂 #stupid

    and second I just signed up for service recently, done nothing wrong and provider suspended service, I think provider is scammer 😂😂😂😂

  • Not a lot, but I like it :D

    Any words you read here can turn into spending impulses that end up in many, many VPSes, and you don't have enough usage to fill them up. And then feel bad for your wallet during the long hours of waiting for your annual service to expire. :'(

    @jar taught it to me in a handicap stall. I don't remember much but he showed me pictures later.

  • Buy cheaply and expect premium.

    Read less, complain more.

    Spend less, expect more.

  • DP is spot on.

    I am surprised by how upset people can get, over a service that's a few dollars.

    Okay maybe something isn't great. But it was $3. Never realized how little people value their own time.

    That's because for some, $1 isn't just "a dollar", and I get that.

    How much do you earn per hour dancing at the local bar?
    What is the mortgage on your house now?
    What's for dinner?


    For me, I learnt the importance of backup, and backups of backup, and not to keep the backups with the same host as the original...

    And you are still overpaying here. Just count the number of idlers you have and the sum of money you are paying in total for all the servers, vs what you are using.

    Ya, specially when you convert that to Iranian Rial and then you realize you are not paying $1 USD, but 42,255.00 Iranian Rial!!! That's over fourty two thousand rials!!!!
