$10 or less per year IPv6 + IPv4 KVM providers?
I'm looking to have a spare VPS that will do remote monitoring to my network. It needs to have IPv6 + IPv4. Any recommendations?
The closest deal I have come across is @RackNerd $9 / yr deal but that has no IP6

Monitoring doesn't need dedicated IPv4.
You can get 256MB NAT for as low as:
Also, @Lyphiard has dedicated IPv4 KVM:

There is at least one that matches your specifications, happy hunting.
Why would you want a kvm with so little ram etc. The kernel will eat like 80% of it
Maybe you can look into this offer : https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/170487/inception-hosting-the-sales-strike-back-part-ii-triple-bw-double-disk
Take a look at http://lowendstock.com/deals/
Special Mini Sailor KVM from HostSailor meets your requirement.
That offer ended some time ago
mrvm.net
Aren't those $2 ones 128MB?
Running a monitor takes very little resources, what you're after is some geographic/DC diversity and to not have it running on one of the nodes you are actually monitoring. The motivation is not to get little RAM but to save money.
I'm in exactly the same situation. I need KVM because my setup scripts flip it to Alpine linux which doesn't have an OVZ template.
Not KVM
Their LA DC02 location has native ipv6 support
256MB is $2 on Black Friday.
Wait a few months and you'll get it.
@WebHorizon has KVM at $10/year.
256MB RAM, SSD storage, Poland location.

OK, good clarification.
That's a good current example. Also look at justhost.ru.
Most often their deals are not for LAX but other locations like Chicago is the only one available in the current deal.
This is actually a great website to bookmark. I agree, I think the $6/yr hostsailor with IPv4 + IPv6 may be the best option if I wanted to not deal with NAT restrictions.
I am planning to run a simple too:

Thanks for sharing these. Looks like @Cam no longer has $2/year offer it seems to be $3.50/year now.
@WebHorizon coupon "ClearNAT" seems expired now. 1 year at $7.
For what it's worth (maybe not very much!) the general problem with such tools is that they don't do distributed monitoring. So if there is a problem with the network at the monitor agent, it considers the target to be down.
It is more desirable to monitor from multiple locations and to set some condition whereby X% of the monitors must be up for the target to be considered healthy.
How about webhosting24 10x10x10? This deal is 10 euro. Price is litte over your budget, but pretty solid.
Do you have any suggestions on an opensource platform or script that uses low resources and can do the distributed monitoring? I think zabbix is a memory hog.
That actually seems like a pretty solid deal, its about $12/yr 1GB ram 10gb disk and tb data. I'll consider it
I guess it depends on your particular use case. The first question is why not use Hetrix or UptimeRobot. If these suit your use then avoid a new/more complex answer.
My needs go beyond those two platforms so I have been using naemon and spreading the checks across about 4 remote workers. The workers in particular are lightweight, and the central naemon server isn't too bad, but maybe overkill for simple http/icmp.
Without looking more than 5 mins at statping, you might be able to achieve the result with a fairly simple script, i.e. if you want to monitor http://example.com then point the monitor to http://localhost:8080 and have a script that collects check results from the workers.
Hey,
If you need KVM, $10 / yr - Poland & Singapore - HERE
OVZ, $7 / yr - HERE
Those come with NAT IPv4 + dedicated IPv6. Many people use these as VPN & latency monitors.
some locations are out of stock; PM if you need a specific location I can see if possible.
