Cheap tiny IPv6-only boxes <=$1/month
Hey,
I'm looking to pick up several tiny IPv6-only boxes in various locations around the world. They'll be used as overlay network nodes (DN42), so light on resources/traffic.
Minimum requirements:
1x vCPU
0.5GB RAM
10GB disk (HDD or SSD is fine)
100GB traffic
100mbps port
KVM (not OpenVZ/LXC/whatever)
IPv6 (/128 is fine)
<=$1/month
Yearly payment is fine (Paypal preferred)
Cheaper or higher specs are always better.
Thanks
Thanked by 1xms

@Lampard has $3~5/year 512MB KVM but only 5GB SSD.
If you are running bird, you don't really need 10GB RAM.
inb4 C1V posts dealz that nickel-and-dime you in every tiny aspect.
That sounds perfect to me - 5GB should be fine. Most of my nodes are using less than that anyway (would have just been nice to have a bit more breathing room).
Do you have a link? Had a quick look at Lampard's previous posts but couldn't find a valid code
Thanks
We can do ipv6 only
1gb ram
15gb hdd disk
1tb monthly bandwidth
1gbps port
Kvm
Location NY and LA available
$8/year
If you need with ipv4 $10/yr
With yearly payments, HostBrr (no aff) meets your specs:
For $0.88 / month. See product specs (aff)
The deals Mr. Sunny referred to are no more, the links redirect to the full price offers.
Buy my last service transfer, and I can throw in this one for free.
Scaleway stardust in Paris, Amsterdam, or Warsaw? I think min'd out (10 GB diks, no IPv4) they run about $0.50/month each. Limit of one per location, and they're not always in stock. Don't know if paypal is an option--I'm using a US credit card and they bill it monthly.
1 vCPU (full utilization allowed, continuous usage of 8% for FUP)
384MB DDR4 ECC RAM
12GB RAID10 SSD
1Gbit/s (682GB traffic)
PRICE: 1$/month(2y subscription)

Wow, that's a great deal - ended up being something like 43 Euro cents per month. I got one in Warsaw. Cheers.

Thanks, but a little too expensive for the low RAM, and I have the Scaleway instance in Warsaw now anyway.

PayPal ok.
Right now I'm checking their instance creation page and it says 0.97 EUR/month for an instance with 10 GB disk (0.11 for CPU + 0.86 for storage). It should come down to 0.54 EUR/month if you can delete the default 10 GB volume, then make a new one with 5 GB and reimage the OS to your own using the rescue system. But in the past IIRC their system prevented that scenario at some step.
Change volume type from block to local, 0.43 EUR/month.
Indeed, for some reason it was set to Block and grayed out for me. After reloading the page and clicking some more, I could change the type. Still, the question remains, is it possible to respin one to 5GB for an even cheaper instance.
Yes, even 2 GB disk (less than 0.2 EUR monthly) running alpine is possible.
The cheapest that I've personally used, is this $0.50/mo from Cloudnium (they have higher spec IPv6 only VPSs too)
Is this just in general (Alpine can run in 2 GB), or did you successfully run it on Stardust? Thanks
vds6.net (https://vds6.net/v6)
They write that it is LXC, but in fact I have a kvm virtual machine created. No IPv4 (by default, but can be purchased for $3/month)
There are two options
1) 0.5 Gb Ram, 0.5 Gb swap, 5 Gb storage, 2 IPv6 - 6$ per year
2) 1 Gb Ram, 1 Gb swap, 10 Gb storage, 2 IPv6 - 12 per year.
Ethernet bandwidth not limited, but fair use/Not guaranteed
Also, their dashboard allows you to assign up to 100 IPv6 address to VMs at no additional fee, But it's not a subnet, it's piece-by-piece assigned to an interface (you can assign all at once). Keep in mind that their control panel is crooked and 4 months ago persistently tried to crash when trying to interact, but still I managed to experiment and all available functions worked.
P.S For payment IPv6 vps only accept cryptocurrency, but... the site as I said is crooked, and in general, you can pay with any method available with them
Neither, I just heard about it.
Like the OP, I was looking for an affordable IPv6-only / NAT VPS months ago and wanted to try scaleway stardust the second time then found this (Tutorial of installing alpine on Scaleway stardust with 1 GB disk for 0.17 EUR per month):
In the end I decided to renew a VPS from NatVPS.net (Web Horizon) which is very stable as well.
Thanks. Didn't know about this. When my current one expires next year then I'll switch to it. I only need it for a single static site. BTW do you know of any online payment card provider that can be used to pay for it? International payments have separate tax which adds up to a lot if payed monthly instead of a single payment of yearly. I could use that to setup a payment by transferring once and then just using that for monthly.
No, have no idea about that, sorry.
cloudnium has a cheap ipv6 only vps(but disk size is tiny)
Thanks but scaleway is much better and cheaper option IMO. Otherwise if you are paying that much for an ipv6 only with only 300gb then you should just put a few dollars more and get racknerd.
