Also if my site (https://andrewjvpowell.com/) is ever down, it's no problem. It's hosted on nearlyfreespeech.net, which is pay as you go basically, so if it's down it's just cos I need to add some credits :P
@eldersnake I understood how your site's hosting works a while ago. ππ

@eldersnake Don't they have a warning system tho so you wouldn't experience downtime?

@eldersnake I use the "Non-Production" nearlyfreespeech.net plan. I put $10 in my account over a year ago and I'm still chewing through that. How much do you end up paying?

@adi @eldersnake I'll definitely check it out if I need a VPS for something. Thanks man.

@eldersnake Oh! Are you actually okay if it goes down because of lack of credits?

@eldersnake @mckinley Oh wow! As luck would have it Iβm actually building a Container as a Sercixe platform that may (hopefully) have this kind of pricing π

@mckinley Oh wow! π³ Like just straight up deleted?! π€ That's a bit harsh no? π
I guess what I wanna know (_for any Docker enthusiasts out there_); If you could use (_because they don't exist yet_) a proper to goodness gracious Container as a Service where (_for example_) running a 64M container with 200m CPU would only cost you $0.20/month -- Would you be able with it being paused if you ran out of credits? π€

@adi Yes, eventually + a limited number of free beta users to help me test it and iron out any bugs and useability issues.

My opinion exactly, no archive for a few months I guess?

It's not that harsh in my opinion. Besides, it as close to free as a paid hosting service can be for the non-production option.

@adi Yeah it has email and even SMS warning notices when the credit gets under a certain amount, and I think you can even customize the amounts that "trips" the warnings. It's not a bad system. Just sometimes, admittedly, I've been slack to fund the account, even if it's just a day here and there.
To answer @mckinley 's question though, I easily go through at least $5 per month, but then again technically I have at least 3 sites on the one account. If they were sites that had to absolutely be online all the time I'd worry about it more.

And with my personal site mentioned at the beginning of this thread, one day I've been tempted to put it on a self-hosted solar powered mini-server, akin to (https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/). In which case there could be little bits of downtime anyway.
