• Alternative clouds are booming as companies seek cheaper access to GPUs

  I've got a dedicated machine for $30/month. It's ancient, a xeon L5640 with 16 GB ram, and 1 TB spinning disk, but it's dedicated and it works great. Well actually, the first one stopped working well, and I got a replacement with double those specs for the same price; and the second one is working great. I also run with full disk encryption, because I don't trust their opsec on wiping drives, so that's a bit of a... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Day 0 - Creating Your Own Local Server

  We normally recommend using Amazon's AWS "Free Tier" or Digital Ocean - but both require that you have a credit card. The same is true of the Microsoft Azure, Google's GCP and the vast majority of providers listed at Low End Box (https://lowendbox.com/). Source: 6 months ago

• Replit moves to permanent paid hosting after 7 years of free service

  I get them from the aggregator https://lowendbox.com when companies offer deals; some have been great, some poor, but all very cheap; I think $14/year has been a decent one. Although my current one only has 512MB RAM and isn’t enough for Rust to compile Scryer Prolog. Prolog, a language first run on the computers of 1971 and standardised around 1998. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Tech Independence

  FWIW, I recently found a VPS offering for $1.41/month (!) @ 1.5GB RAM & 30GB HDD via https://lowendbox.com/, at https://my.racknerd.com/index.php?rp=/store/black-friday-2022 (please note I have no idea how reliable it is though!). I managed to deploy NixOS there through nixos-infect (https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Migrating WordPress from Do to Hetzner

  Hetzner is still expensive for a blog. Check out offerings on http://lowendbox.com/ you can get a 4GB/2vCPU for like $45/year. Year, and not month. That is the kind of margin these big brand sellers have. I have been using a couple for the past 3-4 years and been pretty nice so yeah. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Free version control for game development handling large projects??

  Self hosted Gitlab instance is an option. The only cost is hosting (personally I am using hetzner.com CPX31 instance, 16€ for 160GB a month but you can add 1TB volume for 45€ a month if you need more space). Just keep in mind that Gitlab needs about 8GB RAM to work correctly (it crashes on 2 and is only kinda stable on 4). You can also use an older computer or a NAS if you prefer to go that route.

• What Absolute control?

  Personally, I use hetzner.com's dedicated line, so I rent a full piece of physical server hardware. AmazonAWS is gross. Source: over 1 year ago

• Privacy friendly, EU-based, host providers

  Hetzner is awesome and they allow you to sign a data protection agreement contract. Source: over 1 year ago

• Writing a DNS Server in Rust

  I went ahead and purchased the domain dnsfun.dev from my registrar for 19.99€, and I purchased a VPS from my cloud provider for about 4.50€ per month. I then logged in to that VPS and ran something like this:. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• We reduced our annual server costs by 80% by moving away from AWS

  We've just finished moving servers from AWS to https://hetzner.com - and saved 10X with servers of double the capability. A great experience so far. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
