    Happy to provision one for you, but as mentioned a few posts above, TYO is donation only access, ie, you need to show proof a recent donation of an equivalent of 1USD (in any currency, any organization) to get one.

  • Thanks to this thread I was able to use up my virtual card balance ;)

    The VPS I got is supposed to have 1GB but I only got 674MB. Is that right?

    Actually, can I temporarily get 2GB for a couple days? NixOS needs some additional RAMs for installation. Once installation is done I only need 1GB.

  • @terrorgen said:

    Yes, the kernel takes up a chunk of the RAM. This happens with every VPS from every provider.

    Actually, can I temporarily get 2GB for a couple days? NixOS needs some additional RAMs for installation. Once installation is done I only need 1GB.

    Have you tried just adding a swap file?

    I need to do this one one of my Oracle Free Tier VMs. :)

    If you have the option, use the Arm VMs. They come with 4 cores and 24GB of ram that you can split up or use as 1 big VM.

  • Hi @terrorgen
    Tokyo is special case for us, we have very limited resources inside a KVM there, instead of a full blown dedi. Also, the location is more abuse likely which is why we have minimum specs and donotion only access there.
    We only have spot for 15 nodes inside it, so if I bump the RAM it will affect our other calculations and stuff.
    ( See https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/137733/#Comment_137733 )

    I know you are great guy ( @Not_Oles has vouched for you ) and actively contribute to the forum, so I will consult with the team once more if we can do anything.

    If location is not important to you, I can redeploy on any other location with significantly higher specs - 2 cores, 2GB RAM, 40GB space and 500GB@200Mbps

    Let me know!

  • thank you, the VPS is awesome but the recurring price is not affordable for me. I wonder if this is bug

  • @selalumenang said:

    Nah, that is intended.
    Check your credits, there should be some amount available there which can be used for renewals :)

  • Hey @FrankZ

    Can you help me edit the OP to include WebHorizon stuff in?(#ThanksWebHorizon)

    Hey! Thanks @Not_Oles for vouching for me!
    I think I can make do with the resources I have currently. Thank you for considering my request! I didn't know this freeVPS is actually inside another KVM!

    Would love 2048MB RAM, 2vCPU, 40GB, 200Gbps, Chicago, USA
    I love tinkering and learning about different distros, Linux capabilities, and networking. Currently learning about PXE servers/images, squid proxies, and reverse proxies.

    Big thank you for supporting nonprofits! Must be a good project if Not_Oles supports it!

    ThanksGTHost, #Thankscrunchbits, #ThanksScaleBlade, #ThanksPieHasBeenEaten, and #ThanksWebHorizon

    I am confused... You used your vcard balance on "Free NAT KVMs"?

    He donated his vcc balance to archive.org and earning him a donor spot on freevps.org

    That is correct! But archive.org says I'll generously add $0.52 to cover fees, and 1.24 - 0.52 = 0.72 < 1, so I don't think it is acceptable as a freevps.org donar.

    Hi @terrorgen!

    Hope your day is going well, my friend! There are three nice guys who are volunteering at FreeVPS.org. They could use additional help maintaining the threads here at LES and at LET. If you wanted to join the staff, I'm sure the guys would love to talk with you about it. Thanks for considering!

    Best wishes!

    Thanks for asking! Watch the FreeVPS.org threads here at LES and on LET. Consider, investigate, evaluate, and respond to requests. When needed, discuss requests with the team.

    There are additional, alternative ways to contribute. If you wanted, you probably could help with the server administration and the websites. Longer term plans might include trying for 501(c)(3) status.

    Since I started it, FreeVPS has grown from one to five providers. There are four POPs in the US, one in London, and one in Tokyo.

    FreeVPS.org needs a Project Manager, if that role seems interesting. :)

    Thanks again for asking!

    Tom
