• 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 17 hours 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: 5 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 / 7 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 / 8 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 / 9 months ago

• Build and deploy a Next.js ecommerce website in 5 steps

• How to ditch Neon

  1) Render.com currently offers postgres databases for $7 a month. The $7 instance is pretty weak as far as RAM and CPU, and their prices also get pretty unreasonable after that. However, this is a quick setup and cheaper alternative to Neon. - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago

• Ask HN: Those of you who don't use AWS/Azure/GCP, what do you use for hosting?

  I use Cloudflare Serverless for front end apps and Render for backend services. - Cloudflare [1] scales easily and has a lot of easy to use services like databases and storage buckets, JAM Stack front end pages, and CDN services for images and videos. - Render [2] has been great for us to spin up Python services quickly. I haven't worked with a production load on Render, but I hear good things :) [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago
