Brutally cheap small yearly KVM?
raindog308
Administrator, Veteran
Looking for a KVM:
- don’t care about cores
- minimal disk - a few GBs is all I need
- minimal RAM - 128?
- don’t need much bandwidth
- anywhere
- must support OpenBSD or custom ISO
- the VPS will send a small amount of emails (a few per day at most) but if you don’t want to open port 25 I can relay over 587 elsewhere
- prefer to pay yearly via paypal
- I'd prefer an ipv4 because they're easier but ipv6 should be fine, as long as I can ssh out of the box onto an ipv4 network - ?
This is mostly just going to a small test box.

Should I be afraid?
Take a look at this. 2 euro/year but looks scam https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/147413/vps-cheaper-than-your-coffee-2-year-vps-pennsylvania-canada-germany-bulgaria-finland#latest
Sorry it is openvz
I do recommend waiting for BF.
no need for IPv4 ?
Ooooh, good catch. No, I don't think I do.
Well, I need to be able to ssh out of it to an ipv4 network, but I can connect to this VM over ipv6 no problem.
What's the price range for brutally cheap?
Gullo has been around quite a bit. I very much doubt he is a scam
OvZ...I need KVM.
Vultr’s $2.50/mo would be $30/yr. I’d love $10/yr. Possible is likely somewhere in between.
ignore...

Perhaps?
Even the cost of an IP address is at least $1/month. ( my ISP gives for $1.5/month).
So, how is he able to provide 1 year for just $2
It's NAT IPv4, meaning you don't get the full IPv4, only a port. @Cam offers legit services
Aruba is $14/y, what's not to love?
Cam ain’t no scam, muthafucka.
Kinda dodgy host...j/k. Out of price range.
That might work!
Actually I can't find any info on whether they support OpenBSD or a custom ISO. Maybe not.
This https://cloud.google.com/free/ . Block incoming traffic aside from ur ips and you won't get charged, unless you send mails to asian servers. I think the free included traffic is only for US/EU but the instance itself is free(for life they say). I've yet to test that as my trial ended not long ago.
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/135169/ultravps-eu-special-deals-low-end-kvm-virtual-servers-and-storage-servers12$/yseems they removed the 12$/y plan, but i guess you can ask them if they have place.
@UltraVPS
https://tinykvm.com ($15/year)
Can recommend. I run NetBSD on one.
Vmhaus 256MB KVM@ $15/y US/UK
You'll hurt @AnthonySmith 's feelings
If you are looking for IPv4

It's "brutally-cheap-small-yearly", bring back the 7$ plan
I should have bolded KVM and OpenBSD.
Frack, not that goddamn ascii panel again...having to open a ticket to set RDNS...
Well, maybe. I was with TinyVz (same company) for a while and they were good.
Fair point. Their panel isn't necessarily the strong point, but at least it's their panel.
Ram Host is behind the curtain.
Anyway, I've had a positive experience with my tinykvm.
Can see FreeBSD 10 but not OpenBSD. Custom ISO not possible on their 1 Euro plans.
Custom iso is definitely possible - just install some linux distro template, install grub-imageboot, put your .iso under /boot/images, update grub, launch their pseudo-vnc web interface (it's laggy and ugly but works), reboot, select your iso, install your stuff.
VMHaus is definitely great hardware- and networkwise (poke @vmhaus)... but I haven't found how to install a custom iso, not sure if it's possible, and the grub-imageboot trick results in a kernel panic.
Just curious what's BF?
It is KVM and as for the OS they do support importing custom boot images so you should be able to get it working fairly easy. Here`s the guide https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/import-existing-image
