So I found a 4 GB RAM / 40 GB storage VPS for just USD 10.99/year (!) recently.

It's from George Datacenter, which I had never heard about before. I looked it up and found a few negative reviews but nothing that suggested it was an actual scam, so I decided to give it a try considering the absurdly low price and the fact the complaints were all from a long time ago.

So far it's been smooth. Apparently you can load custom ISOs (I haven't tried, but the UI is there) and there is toggleable VNC access.

I'm curious if anyone has any experience to share about this provider?

Also, the offer is still up if you are interested:

When I select a VPS how do I know that my data on the server is safe and private? Is trust all I've got?

We at @BoxyBSD are happy to announce our new and modern website!

While the missions keeps the same by providing a free place for beginners to learn, educate themselves and test things in the wild on BSD-based systems (such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD (or even #smolbsd) and many more ones) with public accessible IP addresses, the old nerdy design only hit a niche of users.

We want to make BoxyBSD more accessible & enjoyable to everyone and this is one of the first steps. We know, a laggy SSH connection doesn't make fun and therefore, we're also setting up new locations to provide you a better latency independent of your location.

During this time, signups for new users are currently deactivated until the new locations are up and running and the first real-user tests within the new interface have been successfully performed.

Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)

Looking for advice: which VPS would you recommend for resting a small application? (sqlite+caddy/nginx+php)?

Looking for something cheap, with low resources. I am not piky on the OS, but prefer something lightweight ( #alpine #bsd).

I saw https://deluxhost.net but was not able to grab their cheap offers: looks like they're new, but couldn't find any review.

What would you suggest?

Dear Fedi friends,

Happy Thursday from rainy northern Italy 🌧️

In case you missed it: I've spent the past two weeks doing all kinds of #selfhosting explorations, as I strive to learn #Docker to move my Ghost site there (it's recommended for Ghost v6 and going forward).

Yesterday I shared a blog post about the peaches (highs) and pits (lows) in #MySoCalledSudoLife adventures.

I'm hoping my mistakes can be useful for fellow newbies 😅

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.
