// EARLY \\ Valentines Day Offer?

Hai,

Just wanted to ask if any provider is willing to provide a good VPS deal for Valentines Day, here are the requirements:

  • ≥ 256MB of RAM (can be combination of pure RAM and swap)
  • ≥ 2GB of disk space
  • ≥ 100GB of bandwidth @ 1Gbps OR ≥ 200GB @ 100Mbps
  • at least one vCore, duh

PLZ GIFF ME GOOD DEAL BECAUSE I AM 4EVA ALONE.

≤ $5/yr ($0 is preferred)

// as suggested by @GIANT_CRAB

    That @davidgestiondbi offer via @traffic is your best bet at about $6.?/y

    'unsustainable' offers from non-idiot providers are the way to go. (@drserver, @mchphil, @serverian have all done these at some point and work fine to-date)

    Edit: heck, someone might sponsor that vps for a 'Open-source project Hosting sponsored by -provider-' link on your www.

    I think I seen it before, thanks for the heads up. Have one box in the same DC as their LA location (Swift Internet), so will probably use it, as it would be used for communications between with HostUS LA, AlphaRacks LA (Swift Internet DC), and they seem to be < 1ms apart when I run a MTR.

    Yeah!

    Well, I'm making a SSO for all my websites' backend, so I don't have to remember passwords for all of them, so I don't think anyone will see it, other than me.

    I have another LES box serving as my Git server, but yeah, its pretty decent. Most of my code are closed sourced, so I wouldn't expect anyone to want to sponsor that :)

    I do recommend providers (particular LES ones) to my other online friends out of this community, since they do a pretty good job and their services are really worth for the price.

  • Royalty cant afford over $5 ?

    Shoutout to gitlab.com(free private repos! ). I'm using them now, as I got tired of ensuring perfect upgrades on each fortnight's release of my self-hosted gitlab.org instance (1.5gb ram at rest) .

    The idea is: transitioning to self-hosted in the future, won't be jarring, since your UI muscle memory would carry over.

    Lent my friends my PayPal account so they can make their purchases, they paid me in cash and now my card has $7 SGD.

    Too lazy to head get my card topped up right now, I don't go to the shopping centre everyday after school (to idle) anymore, since I now have triple the workload to handle everyday.

    Use Gogs instead, its nice and runs < 256MB RAM. I made a script to update my installation, so when a new one comes out I can update the gist (to the new zip URL) and wget & run it.

  • gitlab bloody hell slow

    Github then, get the paid subscription via Github Education :)

    enjoy some private repos!

    Be careful even from "non idiot providers", a provider, that you can certainly call non idiot, offered one with a hidden catch: it renice 19 any process you run in that vm that wasn't in its process whitelist.

  • @theroyalstudent said:

    I have come here to tell you about BitBucket.

    Unlimited. Private. Repositories.

    Well I'm not surprised if they renice 19 on sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root, its called damage control :D

    I have come here to tell you about selfhosting your Git server.

    Unlimited. Private. Repositories.

    with full control under you, and Git Hooks work really well and can automatically deploy my code to respective boxes

    Setting aside your horrible joke, I think you're a smart guy and knows why renice 19 in a oversold and loaded server is bad.

  • @theroyalstudent said:

    But free?

  • I think @traffic has probably sold so many plans here lately, after spamming every thread, that he should be able to give you a free vps to give back to the community.

    Thanks for this one - this is the first time someone told me that my joke is horrible... Well I'll make better jokes next time then :)

    I know what it means, used it before to make sure I don't get suspended by another LES provider when I was running apt-get (CPU and Disk I/O usage was crazy)... PM'ing you soon to get more info - I don't need everything to be renice 19'd.

  • @0xdragon said:

    No. But as good as free, when you have LES :)

    That would be nice of him, probably will repay him one day if he does that :)

    Mercurial, my first choice dvcs.

    No point in fighting the git horde now. All thanks to Github momentum.

    Thanks! QuadHost contacted me too, will be running tests between the two providers from both my servers and home internet to see which one is a better choice. Probably GestionDBI though, since QH offered me London.
