People that rent a $15/year VPS use it to run an IRC bouncer or a small web log, something you don't need to know a whole lot of sysadmin stuff for. They just need a machine that's always on.

- lucb1e 12y ago> $15/year VPS Do tell, where do I get one of those? Cheapest I know of is $60 ($5 a month).
- travoltaj 12y agoHere's one that I know of: http://ramnode.com/vps.php http://ramnode.com/vps.php Other than that, I'm sure you can find something on webhostingtalk forums.
- briandh 12y agoCheck http://lowendbox.com/ http://lowendbox.com/ , though YMMV.
- xrjn 12y agohttp://serverbear.com/compare/vps http://serverbear.com/compare/vps is a great place to find these VPSs, they list some of the smaller services.
- vacri 12y agocloudatcost has $1/mo small servers, or you can buy one 'permanently' for $35.
- waxjar 12y agoI rent one on BuyVM (http://buyvm.net/ http://buyvm.net/). I use it to run an IRC bouncer and an IRC bot.
