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

    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.

    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

    damn didn't know you can run wordpress with 200mb ram

    was expecting 128GB ram for a small wordpress site/

    how much load can it handle? have you done a load test?

    I blame nodejs bloat and obsession with SPA, chunking, electron, etc. If speed is a concern, it's better to use vanilla js

    I mean, its not going to win any awards, and I would not front it for a blog network, but it works. best guess its good for high double or low triple-digit concurrency, depending on what ridiculous plugins you use.

    You can have SPA with a basic static server 😅

    So far, these two are my top picks:
    1. HostDzire ($20/yr): 4C/6G/100G. The resource-to-price ratio is absolutely insane for a yearly box.
    2. TANHosting ($7/yr): 1C/512M/10G. Hard to beat a 5900X node at this price point for small tasks.
    Thx! @HostDzire,@TNAHosting

    I also think there are people out there who are still working on the idea of one service per machine. I'm definitely in the other camp, trying to get the most out of what I already have access to.

    But this why I am curious because examples you gave

    If I needed these I find somewhere to run on an existing machine.

    For projects I work on, my philosophy is to start small and grow as and when the needs arise. But at the moment, I can't think of anything that would have started off that small. I'm tempted to do it just for the sheer spirit of the thing, but I'm out of ideas.

    5900X with 512MB RAM is interesting!

    After losing soo many great deals because of paypal i finally settled with:

    3 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 10 Gbps - 18 eur/y from @DeluxHost

    It would have be great with the 100GB disk but i am happy anyways. I didn't even set it up yet so i am the ideal customer i guess :P

    1TB Koofr lifetime storage at 129$ (i bought it elsewhere but i saw it from the lifetime deals thread on LET)

    What are you talking about?

    A static website delivered with a complex framework still needs to be transmitted and executed on the client side. Cargo cult is a real problem. Simple websites should only ship what they actually need. Most of the time, that's just HTML and CSS, perhaps a bit of JS for interactivity and async works.

    I wouldn't say "settled" with that spec. That seems like a fantastic deal.

    Hard to remember lol, I think that would be

    Monthly
    10C/10G/250G/14T@10Gbit for $10.47/m (Best compute per money monthly)
    4C/8G/80G+10T/50T@1GBit 15€/m (Best storage per money monthly)

    Yearly:
    8C/4G/60G/16T@10Gbit $40/y
    4C/16G/320G/80T@10Gbit €90/y (EPYC)

    These include our insane VAT at 23-25%.

    EDIT: Non-VPS is obviously the HostBrr DA 16 TB, 80 TB@10Gbit/m egress for €192/y
