I was setting up a test vps there a couple of days ago and made plans to try out the $5 plan with $20 credit they were giving me on a $5 charge. So I had a runway of about 5 months but when I made payment, this $2.50 plan was right there, and it wasn't there before the payment. Now I have 10 month trial period. Never been happier.
The dashboard is nice, the ram is a bit low (but the price point is killer), I wasn't able to deploy a lets encrypt cert without pooled memory. The service seems to be excellenct in the few days I've used it. It doesn't seem to have a "don't ask for 2FA on this device for n months" option but it's a small complaint.
- adiabatty 10y ago> I wasn't able to deploy a lets encrypt cert without pooled memory. You mean you had to enable swap to run the Let's Encrypt client?
- pfg 10y agoIf you use certbot-auto to install the client, part of the installation process involves compiling some crypto library (IIRC) which tends to fail on low-memory systems, hence the need for swap. Packaged versions of certbot (from your distribution's package manager) don't suffer from that problem and have fairly low memory requirements.
- Achshar 10y agoYeah right swap memory. I'm a server management newbie. This was a cent os instance and apparently it didn't have a native certbot so I had to use certbot auto.
