Even with 1 gb dataset, if many parallel requests get executed over at same time, the CPU usage spike increase. Instead of one student, if there are 10 students or 10 scripts or 10 tests or 10 reports request came in, it just spike CPU. Very difficult to know when or where CPU spike happen. You take much higher VPS from Virmach, whether it is 8 gb or more 512 mb or low, 1 core or 4 cores, the story is same with them.
Ideally you cannot predict application use of CPU all time consistently, Virmach suspension will pose great risk for projects. Instead of 18 usd, one may opt into different providers in LET, or more reliable one, we could be better.
Well, again, if the use case involves unpredictable cpu spikes that can go beyond AUP, use VDS
Another factor for consideration, sql server db express can use only 1 vCore …. so create 3 db server instances on 4x vCores VPS and divide the load between three sql instances on that VPS.

Now that's what I'm talking about, only got 3 hours left to get these beauties or until supplies run out
Haha not that I’ve had it happen but probably not. I just use my virmach servers for rdp. But I wasn’t aware there’s a download/upload limit on speed I thought it was just cpu restriction.
This would have been a good offer, if the storage was at least 110 gb, in my opinion
The real question is, what kind of specific amount is 3584 MB RAM.
3.5G？
Who gives 3.5 GB Ram? make it 3 or 4.
I have 12.5 GB memory in one of the VPS from a top rated LET provider.
Racknerd does the same. 2.5, 3.5,4.5 and so on...😂
The price is further reduced to $28.28
With 10% coupon = $25.45
My big one there is a 240gb ssd 3 core and 3.5gb ram for $32.01 a year in the US from vm bitter sweet stuff
The main thing is that the virbot he wrote releases the vps's memory in the exact amount it allows, and it will not round up or down.🤣
there was a time where 500mb memory stick were somewhat popular
You obviously don't know virmach... The whole system just generates random spec VPS offers every couple of hours. Occasionally they're tempting, but usually they're pretty stupid combos and not worth the money. I regret not jumping on a 10TB bandwidth in Tokyo early on that was actually a pretty good price, never seen a deal that good pop up again.
32mb flash drive
The price is further reduced to $27.88
With 10% coupon = $25.09
Having said that, this $18.63 deal was much better
its a very good deal when its working since all Virmach are Ryzen. very often during the sale i was also close to buying many.
eventually got 2C2G60GB for 6.98 recurring, 1C0.5G15GB 4.98 first year, and one that i regretted was 2C3G60GB 11.48
gonna let go one 3C3G35GB at 12.95 when transfer function is reinstated
Well … most are Ryzen 3900x and this vps is Ryzen 5950x
Maybe check again around Easter for better deals.There is a website that tracks the Virbot deals...

Constantly backstabbed by price drops and better VPS specs! I've decided to reduce checking vir****'s VPS sale offers.
Windows OS on $8.69/year vps
2x vCore Ryzen 3900 / 1.5 GB / 60 GB
That was always the problem with BF Virbot. You buy something only to see something better 20 minutes later. Virmach isn't a VPS provider it is a psychological experiment run by a mad eccentric,
Then play a better game and beat them.
I installed Windows OS on that $8.69 to see if my VPS gets suspended or not. Afterall I have nothing to lose beyond $8.69 “game fee”.
53 processes? Which Windows version?
Go ahead … what is your guess?
he did mention in one of his posts that this was some kind of social experiment, not sure if it was the flash deal or the mystery candles. but it is indeed somewhat an enigmatic experience itself to keep up with his arbitrariness over the years
I'm going to guess Windows 11 with effort put in to disable unneeded services.
0.7gb memory usage is not possible, to my knowledge, with Windows 11, even with setting unneeded services to manual mode.
This is Windows Server 2019 … most optimized version when vps < 2 gb. I am setting up MS SQL Server 2022 database server as well.
I use the open-source software Mem Reduct to manage Windows memory and promptly reclaim idle memory. LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣
