1$/1€ VPS
Hi, I’m looking for a slightly unusual VPS, but not too much different from what appears in other posts.
I need a VPS for around $1, up to $2 if necessary, with the following specifications:
- 1 vCPU (It can be one of those Xeon CPUs that consumes more energy than it provides performance)
- 2 GB RAM (Seriously, anything less than that won’t even run the OS properly)
- 1 IPv4 (Doesn't need to be dedicated, NAT is fine)
- 20/40 GB (It can be HDD, SSD, USB drive, cassette tape, or even a potato, as long as it stores data)
- 1 IPv6 (dedicated, a single IP is enough)
- 100 Mbps (100Gb is enough)
Monthly payment, please!

Your budget is pretty tight for the specs, you can check a few options under $2 here
monthly is going to be hard, there are a bunch annually
MassiveGRID has an offer in another thread that can match your requirements. They want long term commitment for those prices, though. You can adjust what resoures you want with them. For about a dollar per month, you can get this when paying up front for 4 years:
2 vCPU
3 GB RAM
32 GB Storage

Another option is Netcup, commitment 12 months, billed every 6 months:
2 vCPU
2 GB RAM
60 GB Storage
2€ / month
https://www.netcup.com/de/server/vps/vps-nano-g11s-6m (I don't see the offer on their english website)
Edit: I did not see your request for monthly payment, sorry. You can get a Strato 2€ VPS (VC 1-2), initial commitment is 12 months, after this you can cancel every single month. The Netcup offer should be the same, initial commitment 12 months, and after that it can be cancelled every month.
Feel bad for providers who accept $1 by PayPal they receive even less and $1 is low enough
But back to your post, try ovh as they have a 77% off for a year promo which is under $1 per month and exactly matches your requirements
$1.66/mo if you're willing to pay annually: https://www.ethernetservers.com/clients/link.php?id=41
This plan meets and in some cases exceeds your requirements.
Thought the same here. 1GB is more than enough to run any OS
Caasify spot server
https://caasify.com/
If the fees are still what they used to be, a professional account receives 61¢ from a 1€ payment. (35¢ + 3.9%)
poiskvps.ru - Front page. Not sure if they offer 2GB at that price.
$1 = 102 Rub
I can run my favorite OS even on 1.5 gb memory
This is standard install from ms iso — no tiny install crap — just turned off some unneeded services
nice to see you around
YABS for $0.80/month promo vps

Wow! are you sure about that?
Not that you'll really need support with them, their stuff just works, but when I contacted them a few years ago (I can't remember the exact reason, maybe it was for a second IP request back then) they responded quickly.
But no matter what's stated, some reasonable expectations should always be present. As an example, that you're not the first in the queue or that the issue is more complex or something.

I mean, by setting a super low price-point, aren't they concerned that many customers will demand the promised 100% uptime and 24/7 support? That would be very troublesome, as many people would likely bombarding their tickets, especially MJJ
Read the fine print in TOS for scenarios that are excluded from 100% uptime “guarantee”.
and most likely, one will get free time extended for any time “lost”.
The amount of tickets received is very minimal, largely because a lot of effort goes into making sure things work out-the-box. I don't have the mindset where I'll just sit around doing ticket after ticket, but rather, I like to think - how can I prevent said ticket in the future? Very often, it's possible just by improving documentation (i.e. the knowledgebase) or adjusting systems accordingly.
The amount of providers I've tested over the years that promise IPMI, but it's broken, or that promise an OS auto installer, but again, it's broken - it's a high number. I prefer to underpromise and overdeliver.
Despite having an "ensure everything works mindset", I openly encourage tickets, and enjoy doing them - very often there's something for me to learn, and that's what keeps the job interesting
As for the uptime, the 100% uptime SLA is because I back the platform that I've spent 10+ years creating. I'm not saying there are never issues, but the difference is, there won't be arguments back and forth trying to get said SLA credit - I have no issues at all handing out a year of free service if we mess something up. Ultimately, a lot of customers today have been customers for 10+ years, and I'm very appreciative of that, so it only makes sense to keep people happy than to end up having an argument that spirals out of control - like we very often see with providers here on LET, WHT, etc.
Not following you about but my server with Ethernet has 100% uptime. Only sent tickets where I could’ve found the answers elsewhere in all fairness and they’ve still answered
Are you able to pay for longer term up front with your budget? 1-2 years?
Thank you for your business
Glad to have you on-board!
There are dozens of such proposals. Pay for a long term you get a discount, but the amount is higher. You don't need to rent a car for a year to get to the store once.
The man doesn't want to get into a long-term commitment for more money.
64 MB RAM Alpine VMs be like
Then why rent it for a month?
OP hasn't replied.. No idea what they want or don't want.
Paying $1, up to $2 per month isn't hard to find when paying for a year at a time.. The issue with paying for one month at a time is that the payment fees take a large amount of that payment. Not worth the time/effort of a provider.
If they only want a VPS for one month, use a trial credit at one of the bigger clouds.
This is lowendtalk, not webhosting talk.
Bya.
I didn't have time to reply to the post before
Anyway, reading here I discovered that the fees charged were very high. I knew they existed, but they weren't that high. I'm going for something around 1 year. And from what I understand, commitments of 1 year or more for that amount are also not very advantageous (at least that's what it seems to me).
40% of the value goes to fees and taxes, the final cost does not even cover the cost of energy.
Yes, any system can run on 1.5Gb or less. I said what I said because I've seen providers apply fees (don't ask me the names because I don't remember) when using 75% of the total available RAM. Personally, I find it strange (usually you see limits on CPU), but it's the policy of some. And sometimes running a nodejs or a JVM can easily reach +75% memory usage.
Look, it's not that I'm thrifty or anything. I just wouldn't want to spend 1/10th of my salary all at once.
why you quoted my post and change its contents?
Unneeded services? Can you share with us. Thank you.
Kind sir I offer $3.50 / year ok
Tell us the ways dad
