[Hostodo] Resource Pools are live — split one VPS budget into multiple KVM servers

Hassan · August 26

Hi LET. We built Resource Pools.

Buy one Hostodo capacity subscription, then create multiple KVM VPSes from the same RAM / disk / IPv4 pool.

No promo code needed for these two launch pools.

Order / manage pools:
https://console.hostodo.com/instances?utm_source=lowendtalk&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=resource_pools_launch&utm_content=thread

What this is

Instead of buying one fixed VPS at a time, you buy account capacity:

pooled RAM
pooled NVMe disk
VM slots
included public IPv4s
create / delete pool VMs for $0 while inside quota

Good for labs, dev boxes, monitoring nodes, small customer environments, or anyone who wants multiple real public servers without managing separate subscriptions for every tiny VM.

Launch pools

AMD EPYC · KVM · NVMe · 1Gbps · public IPv4 per VM

Pool	RAM pool	NVMe pool	Max vCPU / VM	VM slots	IPv4s	Price
Nano	4GB	80GB	2	2	2	$5/mo
Starter	8GB	160GB	2	4	4	$10/mo

Examples

Nano gives you 4GB RAM / 80GB NVMe / 2 IPv4s.

You could run:

2 × 2GB VMs
1 × 4GB VM
smaller mixed shapes as long as you stay inside pool quota

Starter gives you 8GB RAM / 160GB NVMe / 4 IPv4s.

You could run:

4 × 2GB VMs
2 × 4GB VMs
1 × 8GB VM
smaller mixed shapes as long as you stay inside pool quota

Create and destroy VMs inside the pool without opening a new invoice every time.

Locations

Las Vegas, NV
Detroit, MI
Tampa, FL

Subject to live regional capacity / IPv4 availability.

Las Vegas: https://lv.hostodo.com

CLI + MCP

Resource Pools work in the console.

MCP support is live, so AI agents can list pool options, inspect usage, and create VMs inside a pool.

odo CLI support is released in v2.2.1:

brew install hostodo/tap/odo
odo login
odo pools list
odo pools show <pool_id>

Create a VM inside a pool:

odo instances deploy \
  --pool pool::yourpoolid \
  --os "Ubuntu 24.04" \
  --region DET01 \
  --plan EPYC-2G1C32GN \
  --hostname web-1 \
  --yes

OS options

Ubuntu 25.04 / 24.04 / 22.04
Debian 13 / 12 / 11
AlmaLinux 9 / 8
Rocky Linux 9 / 8
CentOS Stream 9
Fedora 43 / 41
Arch Linux
OpenSUSE Leap 15.5
And more.

Unmanaged. Instant provisioning. Stripe, PayPal, Crypto, and Alipay.

no

but next will have IPv6 only VMs and remove slot limit. Potentially instead an IPv4 enabled reverse proxy/hostname

You've mentioned just 2vCPU for Starter package. It won't limit the machines to just two? How can we create four machines just with two cpu pool?

each VM can have 2 vCPU.

So if I create 4 machines, I'll have 8 CPU in total? Is it right?

Unfortunately, my recent experience with Hostodo has been extremely poor.
My VPS has been inaccessible for several days. During Hostodo's troubleshooting, the server password was apparently changed, so I lost access to the VPS.
To make matters worse, I can no longer log into the Hostodo client area either. The password reset email arrives, I follow the link and successfully set a new password, but the new password still does not allow me to log in.
So at this point I have:

an inaccessible VPS for several days;
no working credentials for the server after Hostodo's intervention;
no access to the client area;
a password reset system that does not actually restore access;
and no meaningful response or resolution from support.
I contacted support again, but the situation remains unresolved.
I cannot even provide the support ticket number here because I currently cannot access the Hostodo client area at all — which is part of the problem.
Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend thinking twice before ordering from Hostodo. Announcing new “Resource Pools” on LET is nice, but perhaps existing customers should first be able to access the services they have already paid for.
At this point, the whole situation is starting to smell suspiciously like a sighting of that rare but particularly unpleasant creature known as “Scamus vulgaris”.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that Hostodo can demonstrate otherwise by actually restoring access to the service I'm paying for.
@Hassan, since you are active here promoting Hostodo's new services, could you please look into this? Please PM me and I will provide my account email, VPS IP/service details and any other information required to identify my account privately.

Hassan · September 2

@user0990 apologies for the poor initial experience. We had an incident this past weekend which greatly influenced the friction you've experienced with the platform; which has since been resolved. I've identified the issue with your account and I'm working on getting your login resolved ASAP

I ordered a starter pool but never received instructions on how to access it. Ticket finally answered. I guess it was because of the security breach they had. My servers are running fine now that I got access to create from the pool.

Neoon · September 2

MCP is overrated, you just give it shell access and ask it write itself a a tool to interact with the API.

Hassan · September 2

@user0990 sent you a DM - can you confirm your email?

As much as the clanker frustrate me, occasionally they do be absolutely smart.

I told it once where to find a flaresolverr instance because I needed some specific data and man, it was beautiful.

We didn't have a Welcome email built in - this has been added now.

Thanks, Hassan. I’ve replied to your DM and confirmed my email.

I appreciate you looking into this. Hopefully we can get both the client area access and the VPS access fully restored now.

Update: resolved. Hassan investigated the issue and confirmed that my original VPS was unfortunately lost during Hostodo’s internal post-incident recovery/reconciliation due to a control-panel/provisioning issue, rather than as a direct result of the attack. They’ve provided me with a replacement VPS and IP, kept my existing rate, and added 3 months of free service. I’m back online now. Thanks to Hassan for being transparent about what happened and getting this sorted out.

With our MCP you can provision the instance, manage it, and execute shell commands through the MCP (with permission) all in one session

can these vm be in different locations? or need to stay in one DC itself?

yes you can provision across all locations

Frameworks · September 3

DDOS protection available?

Howdy, Stranger!
