@prologic FWIW, I pay a little under 3€/month for a VPS with 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB disk, 40 TB traffic. 🤔

@movq How much of that VPS are you _actually_ using? What do you run on it? 🤔

@movq What I'm talking about here is something like this:


CPU: $0.01/month per 1% of CPU cores
RAM: $0.01/month per MB
Local Storage (_not guaranteed to be persistent_): $0 for up to 1GB
Persistent Storage: $0.01/month per GB



Throw in $0.10/month for "access feeds" and either $0 (community), $10 or $20 per month for support.

@movq See this kind of service wouldn't work for you, unless you can justify what you run on your VPS and cut away all the cruft and wasted memory 😅 Here it would cost you $20/month alone in memory 🤣

@prologic What would cost me $20? Just the basic VPS (if hosted in your country)? 🤔😳

I indeed use very little of the computing power of that server. But it offers me a great deal of flexibility which I wouldn’t get otherwise.

Hmm not sure we're on the same page with a virtual machine vs. a container 🤔

@movq Nah not at all 😅 If anything you've perhaps shown me a use-case that this kind of pricing model wouldn't work for. 👌 -- Basically if you want a "machine" and the resources of a typical machine, not for you 🤣

But if you want to run a few small things that consume a few MB of memory, bugger all CPU and whatever storage, then you're looking at only paying mere cents

@movq that is soo much traffic. I don't think I have ever broken 1TB /mo across my VMS ever.

@xuu @movq The Mills DC here does about ~2TB of traffic per month 🤣 ~7TB locally.

I need to get influxdb up on my router. But I do about .5TB per week. So seems pretty on par to you with all that streaming the family does.

@xuu Yeah a lot of local data is transferred around 👌
