Sadly, I have bought two 512mb, but can't handle my work, just a little more ram would be nice, wish there could be some 1gb presents
You need to optimize the program. That's the challenge of low end VPS.
I bought two 128MB. I tried to deploy 3 services (separately), and managed to get two working.
npm doesn't work. I have to run npm elsewhere and rsync the node_modules folder. The program (LevelDB) could start, but it's very slow and unusable.
pipenv doesn't work. I have to redo the scripts to use venv. After that, the program (QUIC to UDP gateway) works, but it's using 25~35% CPU when active and I don't know if I would get a warning.
Go compiler doesn't work. I have to compile the program in GitHub Actions. The binary (network probe) works great.
I think a bit of swap should make these tiny boxes more usable, especially during installation. If there's swap, pipenv and Go compiler would both work unchanged.
Actually, just a little bit more ram would be great and stable, 512mb with no swap is enough for many services, unfortunately, not for me. The CPU is not the most important thing which I care about. The tricky thing is that I would rather have a larger ram server than optimize the program, optimizing the program would be a huge undertaking, lol
If you know the program inside out, you can optimize / rewrite it in a few weeks.
Throwing hardware at an inefficient program is not good.
It's a choice between time and money, finally, time is money
you could have lifecycle script (in package.json) to bundle everything (your code with all node_modules js files) during build process on dev machine and deploy only this single file to 128MB VPS
this way you don't need to use npm on VPS at all
for bundling you could use (webpack, parcel, rollup etc.)
during this building/bundling you can even minimize this output file (compress by removing blank chars, replace vars with shorter names etc.) or even do tree shaking (bundle only used code from libraries instead their whole files)
you could even add shebang line to this output js file and have single .sh executable file with your app
this way, 128MB is plenty for modern node.js
Interesting dichotomy
Correlating time and money, and present the choice in LE forum.

Yes using something like gitlab ci/cd or github actions, we can run npm install or composer install and just deploy all finished files
how about flashdeal of LVZ 512 ?
No need flash deal actually just read through the first post again and realized there was an offer with an independent IPv4. Didn't expect it was something that would be available. Grabbed one immediately - Singapore.
Well... I have too many kvm boxes already and honestly... NAT or OpenVZ are definitely not I really need... but what I respect and like about this provider is that he really lives up to LowEnd spirit - Offering something like $1 / $2 / $3 / $5 / $8 per year. And uptime is so far very nice.
BF is the first time I saw his offer - and now it is my second time. And whenever people call for a promo code, he always responds to them positively.
The yearly cost is like a cup of coffee but it might mean a lot to the provider. I trust we all want him to continue offering so let's show some support
@Cam
I hope you don't mind if I ask a question - this box has an independent IPv4 but why GB5 was not allowing me to get the score?
Thanks for the kind and inspirational message!
As for GB, I'm not too sure actually. Maybe the script is prioritizing IPv6 in some way?
LVZ 512MB Any location! - $7/year
10 Available

PS!
All promo's end tonight! Midnight EST.
So this one looks OOS now(can't select location and other things) but I can still click in and add it to cart. Does it still valid?
EDIT: OK it's back again
Ooops, Forgot to update the product stock. Try now.
Thanks! Got one. Any chance encoring NAT-512MB-6D?
Is it sold out?
It's over before it starts
Just added 20 more
l love you,
Is it 500G traffic?
Yep
Is it possible to get an rDNS record on the assigned dedicated IPv4s?
If you can justify it, open a ticket
Yay! Thank you very much.
Here's the benchmark:
@add_iT grab it fast , Sirr
possible newyear-dolla-nat flash sale?
@Cam is doing great. I got his service once. Well, I don't want any idle vps anymore
Am I late?
I am really interested in LVZ in SGP, 512MB Ram, 10GB HDD, 500GB Bandwith - $8/year.
Take a guess
Yes, we are late. Maybe @Cam will extend to 12/31?
