Actual hourly billing with 1 hour minimum

Meshed NAT, each user gets a /24 from 10.0.0.0/8 you can use your /24 over all locations and all your VPS can talk to each other over the mesh no matter the location.

Until the end of March, the minimum top-up is $3 instead of $5, credit never expires, services auto stop when you run out, you have around 3 days to recover, after that they are deleted, we auto cancel debt, so you will never owe anything.

We are privacy-focused, we don't want your ID or personal details, the free trial credit does not require a credit card or validation, its enough to get you running for a few hours or a few days or weeks, depending on what you deploy.

Locations:

• Canada East
• Kansas, MO, USA
• London, UK
• Frankfurt, DE

You can self-migrate your own server in most instances. Big HDD storage is only available in London right now.

Project updates

• Lots of bugs are coming to the surface now that the user numbers are going up, we have gone past 2000 active users now on our way to 2500, so the last 10 days or so has been spent realising mistakes were made and fixing said mistakes, every day has been a new drama to be honest.

• IPv6, I got greedy, ambitious, and pushed this a bit to hard, we were not really ready for it, its now about 7 days overdue, I suspect we will be lucky to have it in place by the end of the month, but it is coming, maybe not in its final form, but so many people keep asking about it, we will do it, even if that means calling it a future legacy system I will publish numbers on Ipv6 use when it's in, if the loud 1% has changed much from last time I was in this game (only 4 years ago) I will hat my eat.

• The minimal alpine and debian (any day now) articles you have seen from me recently were not just for fun, we have come to the conclusion that the official distro images which is what we use now are a blaoted mess, so we will probably still use them but make more effort up front and run them through a template stripper first, work in progress.

• Real-world non-requested or hinted reviews have started appearing in the wild, which makes us very happy

• We spoke again about the idea of running free.tierhive.com with a tiny set of minimal templates, maybe a bsd variant, alpine and debian only with a lot of the fluff cut out, a single resource level, maybe 128/256mb 3gb disk and 10 mbit, instead of getting a /24 users would get a /29 we would be inviting sponsored nodes into that, a node can be a VPS, and the location details will be your host name or whatever you want it to be, dont worry they would be pretty spam, torrent, tor, portscan. mining proof as standard. Would love to hear some thoughts on this.

Old info being repeated from last time:

• We have discovered a lot of people are using this service for Discord bots, as most of them will run just fine on a micro instance, which is around $0.10/month equivalent, if anyone runs any commercial projects that need resources on demand in small amounts like this and wants to do some sort of post provisioning billing system we can arrange that, i.e. you can run a certain amount in advance and then you only pay if you get paid, we would love to hear from you.

• If anyone just has any cool or interesting projects and wants them to be sponsored and hosted for free, if it fits with the spirit of the project, we may consider providing free resources within reason. we recently sponsored the Kansas location for https://check-host.cc/ for example, what have you got?

• If anyone has an article ot howto post idea they want fleshed out, we will give you some free credit to do that as long as it's posted on LES first, even if that ends up being a "Why this does not work" article.

I hope to see the SQL availability in the USA soon!

10$/y for IPv6 only seems quite expensive.
Any 7$/y deals?
