Uh every year or so, (every 2-4 years for physical things...) i look whether i need, or i dont...
I have 2 VPS' both are idle, both have no use or planned use in the next 3 months
i usually need 1 vps for testing purposes, or when i need to deploy something and dont want to use my "production" servers...

twin
2 (2GB ram)
Mooooooooooooooooooaaar buy more life is better with at least 4
4 servers or 2gb ram?
Keep the first one, if your plan is only to idle, the cheaper the better.
Just one more
With 2GB, you can run a lot more docker containers in it, it's more useful.
If you gonna drop the $5/y l, hit me up, I'll gladly take it off your hands.
both good deals, both reliable providers, when I find myself in that situation I just keep em both
Dont you like... always keep the both? I mean both hundert packs...
I havent decided yet, will wait till xmas i think
They arr both paid till next bf i think
It's hard to choose with just to buy some more and then only think about this
i have few more, but they are either in production or the specs/price is like crazy deal
If the requirement was that you must get rid of at least one, I would probably keep the 2 gb ram machine with the 2 cores just because the ram and extra core might be a little bit more room to wiggle for versatility sake on what you may decide to utilize it for some day (wishful thinking since its an idler and most of us have had those at some point). Also isn't NL a little more 'download' friendly? Might be another reason.
I'll take the $5/y one pls
Bro get in line
plls lemme hav'it
🤌🤌
This is your problem, right here... You don't need any of them.
But seriously, if you can't decide between which of 2 totally different things meets your needs, then you actually don't need any of them.
For $15 a year for both, I'd just keep both and then you won't feel compelled to buy two different VPS this year instead.
Im actually only looking to buy vps either in remote location
Or to replace another vps (will make a post... because it's complicated)
Im not a spendocholic like 99% here (zgato and fat32 account for 98.9%)
Plus i have a dedi and few bigger servers where i can spin up a vm if i need something
These 2 i used for teaching or projects where it required other people accessing it
So, nope i dont need them, currently
Dm'ing me does not make it better
