TAG Request - Slow Servers

slowservers

Hi,

I'm requesting to be added as a provider.

I offer VPSs hosted on OpenBSD, on second hand, low power hardware, from Spokane, Washington, USA. The datacenter is in a building built in the 1800s. I rack the hardware myself. IPv4 is available for $1/month, routed /64 IPv6 allocations are standard. The cheapest server is 768MB/24GB disk for $3/month, the most expensive is 16GB/512GB disk for $64/month. One vCPU with all, and it's not a fast one. I generally just do annual billing, especially for accepting cryptocurrency.

Payment is Monero, Bitcoin, or Bitcoin Cash. Can also send cash in the mail. I may start offering USDT and maybe Ethereum. Surprised by how many people want to pay with USDT.

https://slowservers.net/
Or: gemini://slowservers.net/

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you!

PS: I also run SporeStack, which I started in 2017. Slow Servers is from this year.

Thanks for your honesty.
Server is indeed as slow as a tortoise.
$7/year welcome offer is requested.

slowservers.net is probably one of the best hosting provider website that I have seen, very informative and straight to the point and no javascript.

I am using older hardware as my primary daily driver (it has only 2GB of RAM), and I do appreciate simple websites like this that do not require excessive CPU cycles and RAM to load.

Thank you! My daily driver has 4x the memory, but some provider websites are painful to load. The ones with animated backgrounds slow things to a crawl.

The HTTPS site is proxied from Gemini. I've started writing a Gemini-to-HTML converter that will allow me to gzip the pages and make it a tiny bit faster than it is now. I'm also planning on converting the Gemlog to an RSS feed so that more people can use it. Of course existing Gemini users won't be impacted at all. I'm making Gemini the base, basically a CMS for the rest of it.
