Under 15$/year server deals?

Guys, post the best vps annual deals y'all have found so far under 15$/year! Also if you're already using one do mention the provider and experience with them so far, curious to see what deals y'all have found so far! For me right now I'm using Dedirock 7$ a year vps with 2gb ram, 1vcpu and 2tb bandwidth. For the price it's pretty great to host like small websites and docker services.

Hello! We currently have our LET promo going on with plans starting at 13.99/yr

Didn't lots of people complaint about you last year around due to vps inaccessible, no support, website down, control panel down?
Fair question. Those problems came from our previous colo provider. We had ongoing issues there that were outside our control and ultimately migrated to a new datacenter because of it.
had bought performance vps from hostbrr 1cpu, 1gb ram, amd ryzen 3900 for around $10 a year with this deal. Also I've racknerd vps for something $12/yr in Los Angeles. both are decent. One i use for accessing Netflix and other for hosting site.
That 2 GB plan for under $7 a year is just marketing. What can you realistically do with 2 GB of RAM these days?
These days, you need at least 6 GB of RAM to get started.
Almost anything? Let me introduce you to what started this site and forum:
https://lowendbox.com/blog/yes-you-can-run-18-static-sites-on-a-64mb-link-1-vps/
https://lowendbox.com/blog/revisiting-one-of-the-greatest-posts-in-lowendbox-history/
And can still do that, if static hosting worked on 64MB, imagine how it will fly with 2GB.
Or the LXC for hosting my main websites uses just 154 MB RAM right now. Not static sites, all run CMS written in PHP.
... lol
I run content-heavy websites on 1GB ram.
its Almalinux + Openlitespeed + Wordpress.
No need of 6GB RAM for this.
It’s one thing to host 18 virtual hosts serving static .html files, and another for those same virtual hosts to handle thousands of visits per day. It says WordPress can handle 100 visits, but it doesn’t specify that they’re concurrent. Most likely, if fewer than five visitors use the search button at the same time, the PHP will crash 502.
It’s similar to what happens here: waiting four days for Linux to boot on an Intel 4004 is not the same as using that 4004 to render a video. Sure, it boots—but it takes four days.
Modern databases are another issue. ClickHouse, for example, can consume around 3 GB of RAM just by being installed. With some optimization, especially around logging, you might get that down to roughly 1.5 GB.
I forgot I was in the LowEndBox community—around here, even the last byte of RAM has to pay rent.
Nah, it's just people there didn't forgot what optimizations is.
There's ton of tasks which doesn't require docker or super-duper modern database.
1Gb of RAM is A LOT actually.
Those dockers used to run on 1GB machine.
Lots of utility can be had from 2GB ram such as lean VPS for a static site, reverse proxy, wireguard VPN, DNS server, small API, cron jobs, monitoring, IRC/bot service, tiny database, lightweight app stack if optimized. Overhead such as a GUI can be avoided and give all resources to process.
If the goal is a full modern web app with heavy frameworks, caches, and large databases, sure 2 GB would be tight. But useless is just totally wrong -- it is very practical for low-traffic services, self hosted tools, and always on utility tasks.
If you want utility from these small deployments: keep them focused on only one or two jobs. Use the compounding cheapness to separate your online risk, one server doesn't take you down. I personally use a tiny 1GB instance for hosting my Bitwarden.
Actually, you can do quite a bit with just 2 GB of RAM if you're using a lightweight server os like Debian or AlmaLinux. You don't need a GUI, so the system only uses a few hundred megabytes of RAM at idle. I use mine to host a few small websites, run a WireGuard vpn server, host a vaultwarden instance, and run a few Telegram and Discord bots all using Docker. It handles everything perfectly fine.
Sure, you won't be hosting large full-stack web apps serving hundreds of users, but calling a 2 GB server "useless" just isn't correct. People often underestimate how lightweight Linux servers can be
You can selfhost pocketbase and easily handle thousands concurrent users with 1GB of RAM. I don't know about you, but IMHO Pocketbase is definitely Modern Database.

anything, one of my servers have 1GB or even 512MB of ram and it's useable enough for a tailscale exit node (wireguard) and nginx. it's the same thing as placeing a game in a DvD back a few decades ago
