In my experience with NATVPS.net 256MB NAT KVM, Debian works but requires swap to run apt.
I agree that with some modifications it will run. I have a 222MB VirMach VM that runs fine.
Debian has a how to reduce the memory footprint outline here for anyone that bought one of those tiny VMs
My fav is
Reduce the size of the initramfs
create /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compress with the content
COMPRESS=xz
reduce it further with
sed -i s,MODULES=most,MODULES=dep,g /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
update-initramfs -u

Nope. Nearly a couple of times but has to be a REALLY good deal (+2G RAM & >=2IP) for me to bite, at this stage.

We have two rules: hostname and RTT.
Based on these rules, we are disallowed from buying anything.
Hostname limits: vps2 and vps7 are available, which needs to last until July.
RTT limits:
No servers within 30ms of existing servers.
This basically excludes the entire North America.
We have Eygelshoven and Tokyo from other providers too.
We did buy offer 1024 in New York (YABS published) that is only 11ms from Toronto, but only because we are running out of RAM in Toronto.
We accept Karma donations for the last flan. 🍮 affbrr
Storage servers are RAID 10, but I don't think the Specials are. I have been know to dispel misinformation at times. If this is the case I expect VirMach will provide a correction.

Do I remember that they were at one point but it was actually making things more unstable so it changed? Seen to remember the ASRock motherboards being an issue....

Okay let's try something new. It's going to be an evolving coupon. Existing customers only, so keep in mind it might not work on your account because WHMCS isn't great at deciding who's an existing customer.
Every 30 minutes or so I'll check the usage and as more people use it, I'll increase the discount. It's a social experiment.
By using it, you know someone else is going to get a better discount than you. Limit 50 quantity, caps out at 50% recurring. Starts at 0% recurring. Every use adds 1% (it's not live updated.) I'll warn you guys though, I don't think we'll actually reach 50% because I think everyone's finally sober and had more than their filling. Oh and to make it extra annoying, it rotates which of the three it works on every time I update it and final twist, it's only one time use Unless when I update it, WHMCS breaks it and lets you use it again.
Coupon code: 0PERCENTOFF
Sorry, but the coupon no longer works?
I wanted to use it for offer #1362, but unfortunately it said that no items quality for the discount yet. :O
^ Code works fine; it's your interpretation that's at fault. You need to read more of the thread.

There were a few servers that were RAID10. We decided against it pretty early on, and it was a good call. Almost all those servers with RAID10 had some type of catastrophic issue and probably ended up with more downtime, and eventually pulled out.
I have a lot of personal opinions on NVMe SSDs now and probably know way too much about them. If we could go back and start over with how that technology progressed, I think we should. I don't like this NVMe timeline. The main problem with it is that for RAID10, the cards didn't really exist at the time and several years on, the cards that do exist with it that you can trust are outrageously expensive and bottleneck the NVMe SSDs pretty quickly. Then to actually make it useful with hotswapping, you get into really expensive chassis designs as well. So you're talking probably 2x the price per server to do it in the correct way, and that's today. Wasn't even possible back then. Like a $1400 controller for $800 worth of drives and another $800 for the chassis, then another $400 for the hot swappable form factor for the drives.

Wasn't the code discount percentage supposed to go up as people used it? Unless it was reset after hitting 50 already or some timer sort of set up. Can refer to black and green screenshots up for example

It's at 8% currently, you guys didn't hit the 15% while I was sleeping.

Alpine is the best all-around for these small RAM/disk boxes but as usual it depends for you usage etc

What have happened for the last 8 hours?
you missed a $999/yr deal.

virbot going crazy again, $5 -> $4 -> $3 -> $2 -> even $1/year vps deal is available to purchase.

$9.999/y is what I can afford. Even so it feels expensive.

So much for my scheme of buying 20 small VMs to get a good coupon on a larger VM.
Wire me some money, I will buy 20 small VMs for you so you can buy one large.
