Need recommendations for 512MB or similar yearly KVMs
I am setting up a Plesk box (on Windows) and just to try out a cluster DNS, I need 2 x 512MB KVMs to install bind9 and the replication
Virtualization: KVM
min 512MB memory
min 10GB disk
1 x IPv4
1 x IPv6 (preferred but not required)
Yearly payments preferred unless it's a new host that I or the community, in general, has no idea about
P.S. @Francisco I know you have your reasons to discontinue the 512MBs but at times like these, they were really handy and stable
Comments
If it's only for trying/learning use any hourly provider and switch to a free DNS afterwards?
If not, there's always the RackNerd offers

@emgh I plan to run it
@TheTab I already got one from @dustinc that's why I need two more

seems okay, maybe?
go through this: https://www.serverhunter.com/#query=stock:in_stock+ips:ipv4
The reason why small VPS plans like the 512MB BuyVM got killed is this: IPv4 depletion. It's not profitable to have a lot-cost VPS when IPv4 addresses would be most of the VPS' cost.
In turn we have a lot of $3-5/mo VPSes, but not the cheapo yearly ones.
If you want these plans back, we need to deploy IPv6 everywhere.

a few options
What is your budget for each one?
If its just bind9, fly.io has a free tier you can use.
racknerd does what you want and is cheap enough.
