@kobold digital ocean is the cheapest right now i think

@er1n @kobold seconded, works well for me

@troubleMoney @er1n y'all have you heard of this provider? they're offering a RIDICULOUS sale for long-term use

@troubleMoney @er1n oops,link: https://try.ssdnodes.com/v/landing/7-year-sale/

@kobold @troubleMoney jfc what

@er1n @troubleMoney i'm trying to figure out if it's "this is the contract we offer you and we will upgrade your hardware over time" or "this is for the same hardware no matter what"

@er1n @troubleMoney i've reached out to support but i might end up getting the 3 year plan, this is v worth

@kobold @er1n ...wut?

how?

bloody hell that's cheap

@troubleMoney @kobold @er1n uhhhhh that's

Suspicious

i mean more power to them if it's legit!!!

cf runs on linode which runs about half price of DO (2gb for $10/mo)

@squirrel @troubleMoney @er1n various reviews say they are Legit

@kobold @troubleMoney @er1n it's extremely enticing but ive been burned by Extremely Cheap VPSes before

one of them just

brought all of their VPSes down with no prior warning and disappeared lol

@squirrel @kobold @er1n oh, DO changed their pricing a while back, 2gb with them is also $10 a month now

@troubleMoney @kobold @er1n ahh

it was double that when cf started and i just never checked again lol

@squirrel @troubleMoney @er1n this place has 3.35/mo for 2gb! https://www.ovh.com/world/vps/vps-ssd.xml

@kobold @troubleMoney @er1n yea but the storage is too small :(

@squirrel @troubleMoney @er1n ah fair i didn't pay attention to that

@kobold @troubleMoney @er1n the 2gb linode comes with 30gb storage but that one as cheap as it is has only 20gb for their 4gb one and ... oof

it'll kinda negate it like i want to upgrade our vps to run gitea along with mastodon and we won't have enough space for both

@squirrel @kobold @er1n yeah, I keep an eye on prices just to see if anyone has anything smaller and cheaper for my handful of vpn connections to mildly inconvenience my isp
