Gen 2 Self-Serve Virtual Hosting

Log

Aug 2018

Lots of Low End Box, and there are more - I have not looked closely yet.

Note these often use OpenVZ ... which previously had trouble with Java now (Aug 2019) it's better and depends on the hosting provider setting limits on memory / not overselling too. Also restricted to Ubuntu supported by OpenVZ base image which is 16.x at the moment.

Container technology and Docker does not work due to older kernel.

Here are the offers: 

2GB-SSD-VPS

  • 2 CPU Cores
  • 2GB RAM
  • 25GB SSD Storage
  • 3000GB Monthly Transfer
  • 1000Mbps (1Gbps) Network Port
  • 1 Dedicated IPv4 Address
  • OpenVZ/SolusVM
  • Full Root Access
  • $$18 a year
  • [ORDER]

3GB-SSD-VPS

  • 2 CPU Cores
  • 3GB RAM
  • 40GB SSD Storage
  • 5000GB Monthly Transfer
  • 1000Mbps (1Gbps) Network Port
  • 1 Dedicated IPv4 Address
  • OpenVZ/SolusVM
  • Full Root Access
  • $25 a year
  • [ORDER]

6GB-SSD-VPS

  • 4 CPU Cores
  • 6GB RAM
  • 60GB SSD Storage
  • 5000GB Monthly Transfer
  • 1000Mbps (1Gbps) Network Port
  • 1 Dedicated IPv4 Address
  • OpenVZ/SolusVM
  • Full Root Access
  • $80 a year
  • [ORDER]

These are very inexpensive prices and there's further discount if you pay for the full year up front! However, keep in mind this is VPS hosting which can end up oversubscribing resulting in a very slow system.

I spent some time to look for cheaper alternatives. This is still best bang for the buck despite Gen 3 Cloud services.
