    @spammy I think you're being over sensitive :) and yes IPXcore is an awesome brand, or at least when I used them YEARS ago when Damien was there.

    Just me ranting I guess :)

    spammy said: Budget VPS services are being discontinued due to the continuously rising cost of IPv4 addresses.

    spammy said: it is equivalent to a 150% price increase, with no apparent reasons

    It pretty clearly says it is related to IPv4 costs.

    @spammy the term "Low End" never had anything to do with price, it was about specs. LEA did have a set price limit, but it was always about doing more with less which this site has definitely gotten away from. That being said, by LEA's definition $30/year is still in the LEB price range so your title is still wrong.

    Man I miss those times. We'd do everything to host WP in like 64MB RAM, which was very possible back then. Nowadays I'd love to do the same using a very, very small VPS.

    You'd think they profit from those 10USD/y plans... Fake news, right. Sorry, I don't know much about this industry.
    How do they profit? I'd love to know how, always willing to learn.

    I still host a DokuWiki instance on a 64MB VPS. Sadly, they’re quite hard to come by these days, folks just don’t want to sell them.

  • The definition of pricing isn't adjusted for inflation!

    I can do a special 64MB package for you in all locations ... :)

    if that is a requirement, I could do it in most locations.

  • What they could have done I guess is bill yearly so $12/year instead of $1/month.

    $1/month is just stupid due to PayPal's fees. They charge a fixed, variable, and cross border fee.

    I could potential use some little boxes in Atlanta, Milan, Sofia and Sandefjord.

    I hate to break you the news but a business doesn't have to explain everything to the customer which leaves some feeling this way.

    I don't think it needs any explanation anyway. Anyone with an ounce of functioning brain should be able to tell that the deal was unsustainable and they decided to cut the tie before taking further losses.

    It's basically because the cost of IPs. Our 64MB plan still sells, but for $3 more a year you can get double the RAM. We can't sell a 64MB plan at half the price because ARIN dropped the ball and gave out IPs like candy so now we're stuck with the IPs we have and can't afford to sell the IPs at $7 a year anymore. Hell, I can sell a 32MB plan if people want it, just don't expect it to be 1/2 the price of a 64MB plan.

    Don’t have Atlanta, Milan is @AnthonySmith.
    Sofia I can do.
    Sandefjord - nedd to check the IP price before I promise anything.

    I would happily take the chance to host a random wiki as well, and strip down a KVM VPS to get it to run there. That, is a challenge. And that was a funny way to occupy my time back then. Nowadays we got so many resources that everything simply loads.
    Unless you get jekins on it, or confluence lol.
    Or java-based shit.

    Of course, that makes sense, not only hw costs money, as do IP's / ARIN membership / future subnet acquisitions.

    Pricing in Sofia?

    @MikePT said:

    Yet to be decided :)

    For a 64mb ram, ?mb disk ... probably somewhere around $5-10/year.

    Limited edition that is.

    Got a reply about IP in Sandefjord, $2/month for the IP. add some change in the payment fees and I'm not really sure if it's worth it to create a 64mb server in NO?. I'm thinking like $30/year, for that price I would add more you more resources.

    Sofia - I'll price match the 64mb package from Securedragon. $12/year.

    I had one of their 50 cent/month 32mb openvz's for years, across several data center moves. It always worked great and they never hassled me about renewing even though they must have been losing or almost losing money on the ipv4 alone. I finally took pity and cancelled.
