Can't use NAT ip in China😗
Hmm maybe that made me want them again seeing someone else is interested!
Social proof.
For the gullo vps is 125gb the bandwidth for the whole year or monthly?
https://hosting.gullo.me/order/main/packages/nat-vps/?group_id=56
Which ones offer unlimited bandwidth?
per month.
the extra bandwidth add on is not that expensive.
no unlimited tho.
Oh yea I see even double bandwidth is just +$1. Can it easily be added later if I buy without and run out? As it isn't a rolling monthly will be more poignant.
@BasToTheMax Why was your initial offer for free natvps not upheld?
He offer me free vps in pm then when I say I am interested he do not respond but see he has been active on forum since
.
Unreliable guy similar to what review I read on this forum say.
yes you can add the add on bandwidth later anytime easily.
Hi there,
We are currently having a 50% off recurring offer for those plans: https://manager.enginyring.com/cart/-us--virtual-servers/
Code: US50OFF
Applies only new orders, once per client. Expires on 30 Aug 2024.
Hello again. I never ended up getting one last year but this same question has become relevant to me again.
I would be interested in also possibly using to run a couple of forums as per my other post around the same time so, as per recommendations, it seems it would be better to use a kvm or suchlike rather than nat due to being able to have an ipv4 on port 80 to allow normal addresses for users to navigate to the forums.
As such what would you recommend corrected for current day offers?
I am thinking to use phpbb which is still regularly updated. I read that it can run with as little as 10-20 install size with the user posts and attachments taking up the lion's share of the space.
No user base yet so could start with the minimum requirements with a modest space allocation for an expected likewise small userbase and then scale up from there if things got more popular.

The reason you're not finding those kind of offers anymore has a lot to do with the death of OpenVZ tbh. And the lack of a proper replacement. There is of course LXC for example, but it doesn't isolate at kernel level and just doesn't work right at all for hosting environments.
For the most part it's all KVM now, which means a lot less overselling and stuffing small "tiny linux distros" onto overcrowded servers sharing a single kernel and minimal overhead per VM / container.
There are some hosts who have got around this using docker containers with customer panels, offering LXC containers and seeing the complaints rolling in (htop shows 32 cores but only 1 is working - my ram is saying 240gb but i only have 1gb usable -- things like this), etc. But 99% of hosts simply embraced the new way, left OpenVZ in the past, and moved everyone to KVM - meaning more overhead per VM and in-turn, higher prices.
I'm not sure as I haven't run a forum before so would only be guessing but as I wrote, phpbb will apparently run on 10-20mb, then perhaps a few gigs for user content? Cpu/ram I guess is not that much? No idea.
I think I will go by low price and ipv4 for port 80 on ssl and see how it works.
What happened to that?
I haven't bought a server for 3+ years.
How can an open source product die?
Is natvps the new openvz? I notice that is what was being pushed hard when I asked initially last year.
As per the above recommendation to get a root tld on port 80 I should ignore natvps too shouldn't I as they allocate shared ip on irregular ports? So should I just look for the cheapest shared kvm (non nat, 'classic')?
Btw I am not bothered about custom OS now as I am more used to debian now having played around with it in vms since making the post.
Why not get a shared webhosting plan?
Oh ya a shared hosting plan is better, I've ran MyBB before and it worked well on a normal shared hosting account.
Check out the VPS offer on LowEndTalk at https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/203663/interserver-buy-1-get-2-free-wh-vps-updated-plans#latest
It looks like the best option for your needs.
Why would this be better?
I would not have terminal access then would I? Standard vps seems more straight forward no?
What are the differences?
Someone please answer this. What is the difference between shared hosting and a standard vps?
Shared hosting: Limited control
VPS: Root access
As I thought then, vps better!
Actually I will add an alteration to my OP. Lowest price is not the most important thing. I would prefer average price and a reliable company that won't 'deadpool' after a couple of months. That happened to me several times in a short space of time from LET recommendations in the past and was frustrating having to move things here and there each time.
Prefer a solid company for a fair price.
Oh I see from your post history you are either alt account or paid to promote this company or a bot/ai.
There are lots of offers for ultracheap vps, some nat some not, there's even at least 1 provider still doing cheap ovz. Have you even looked at https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers ?
Do you know how to configure virtual hosts on Apache or Nginx? From your questions, it sounds like you might not have done that before.
I'm not sure why pricing is such a big concern at this stage. If you're looking to learn how to properly manage and administer a VPS, keep in mind that providers operating on very slim margins usually can't offer much hands-on support — it's simply not part of their business model.
A 1-core, 1GB Linux machine - ideally a mainstream KVM VPS - should probably be enough to run a couple of PHP/MySQL forums if you're starting from scratch.
If you're a do-it-yourselfer, just pick any provider with monthly billing, learn what you need to learn, and see how your forums run on it. You can always switch providers later if you realize you need something else.
Don't think I have done that. I have used nginx before to reverse proxy for ssl though for tld with openssl. Similar to that?

Well that is what I wrote in my last post that I amended it to not be solely about price. I just don't want to invest a lot for a project that is just of low priority, but still don't want to low as to hinder it.
Indeed I am a do-it-yourselfer. Is the interserver one mentioned earlier fairly well regarded here?
Ah I got a reply from them that they are only US based. Would be looking for uk/eu.
