    Probably about 15 years ago, I got a 128mb VPS with BuyVM. And I was hooked.

    "128MB" 💀
    For how much? I think it was very expensive back then compared to now right?

    $15 p/year

    Can you even run something on 128MB of RAM!?

    The best deal for me was when in 2015 Mxroute offered an unlimited email deal for $5 a year. It got grandfathered in when the company got bought and I still only pay $5 a year.

    Most of my server are great in price/specs ratio, in the past i had lots of unsustainable deals (1-5$/y). As of this moment, my better deals are :
    HostDZire :
    Intel Inside ◆ 4vCore ◆ 8GB RAM ◆ 100GB SSD ◆ 25TB IN+Out/mo ◆ 10Gbit - Shared ◆ 1 IPV4/No IPV6 ◆ ║ $24/ Annually

    HostSailor 12:12 Mega Deal:
    RAM 2GB, Cores 2, 50GB NVMe, Bandwidth 2TB $10.8/year

    SolidVPS New Year Deal :
    4vCPU , 4GB RAM , 40GB NVMe, 4TB BW. 14$/year

    TakeHost :
    1 Core, 1GB ram, 25 NVMe + 1TB HDD , Unmetered BW in Frankfurt 13.5€/y

    Also worth mentioning my KuroIT and AlphaVPS vms 7€/y for their great connectivity, my znc and eggdrop are online for more than 200 days which is rare.

    idk i usually dont check let so i havent really bought any deals but i pay €5/m for a 3 core ryzen and 8gb ram server from nova cloud (which i think is still cheap) and quite happy with the uptime and performance

    I pay the same amount (but annually) for 12GB RAM and 100GB NVMe. Check out the first post on here!

    Just few requests and your server is cooked
    Still a good price-to-performance ratio tho. $0.2 for that a year is not bad, ngl.

    Just a basic site but check https://pop2.me thats on 128mb ram and Debian 13 on a TierHive micro instance running wordpress.

    And as a passion project feel free to smash Https://backtogeek.com that's now running a hacker news clone (just garbage right now) on a custom 64mb alpine box again on TierHive

    I'll be honest, it's actually not that bad. It loads quite fast for me even when I do multiple reloads.

    You can have them back again as it turns out! I don't post/publish here much, mostly on the TierHive blog and in LES.

    I am also lookinh into the possibility of a free tier on TierHive for 128mb boxes for people to play with.

    With the cost of ram getting silly people are going to have to learn to do more with less.

    I used to run mailman + sendmail on an NSLU2 NAS device running an early Arm debian with 32MB RAM and a USB stick. That mailing list had a few thousand subscribers and 100+ messages a day sent to each subscriber.

    I did have to do a bit of hacking to sendmail so that it didn't try to have too many mails in flight at once, because that caused it to run out of RAM and try to swap to the USB pen drive, but once I'd fixed that it worked really well.

    Is the 128mb just a challenge to see what you run with such a constra

    With the cost of ram getting silly people are going to have to learn to do more with less.

    Is the 128MB limitation merely a challenge to see what can be developed or run within such constraints, or are there genuine use cases? I can see it as an economical way to host a few static sites, but I wonder if there are any more interesting or niche applications.

    It's a bit of all of that yes, to help the low end spirit a bit :)

    The https://tierhive.com/blog runs on a tierhive micro instance with 128mb ram for example, https://backtogeek.com runs on a 128mb ram and actually only uses about 30mb in total its a hacker news clone (work in progress junk content) and I also got wordpress running in just under 200mb https://pop2.me on debian 13, working on a 128mb attempt on Alpine.

    Details of all of the above on the blog.

    Apart from that, imagine you just want a script that does a thing a few times a day, why not just use a 128mb micro instance for $0.10/month instead of paying $5 to AWS :) discord bots, irc bnc, websockets, socks5, static content, many many many reasons.

    I think people assume its more of a challenge than it actually is because they are so used to just accepting bloat these days, I constantly read on reddit things like "hey i have a low traffic website, I am looking to move it to a VPS, I think I probably need 4cored and 8GB RAM minimum".... and I just shake my head... you can run world of warcraft on that ffs!! haha
