What should I do with 35 VPS's?

AdvinAdvin Hosting Provider
edited December 2022 in General

I bought 35 VPS's with absolutely no plan for them. In hindsight, maybe I should've thought about it a little bit more before pulling the trigger.

The specifications of each are as follows:

Some Intel Xeon CPU (1 core)
2GB DDR4 Memory
20GB SSD Storage
100 Mbps Unmetered
Dedicated IPv4 and IPv6
Total cost is $33/month for all of them

30 of them are in East Coast USA and the other 5 are in the West Coast.

I was thinking about maybe cancelling ~10 or so and turning the remaining all into TOR Relay's, ArchiveTeam Warriors, various honeypots, and maybe some other projects.

Alternatively I can just idle them all

    this will be a good fit for docker swarm.

    next article i work on such a use case but with far less node.

  • You let them idle.

    That is the way of the LESbian.

    Offer the ones you don't want for transfer. $11.31 /yr average price with the specs shown and 100 Mbps unmetered transfer is a really good deal.

    Are they KVM? You could put a few LXCs on each of them and resell although it’s probably really not worth the hassle

    Sounds good, more relays won't hurt.

  • You cancidle them.

  • Donate their bandiwdth to Tor. This is highly needed now, especially with a worldwide conflict at out doorstep. People need to stay informed and possibly exercise their rights to vote while also staying anonymous and informed.

    i wouldn't mind taking any of your vpses with 2C2G20GB and above

    for $11

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

  • Ian_Dot_TechIan_Dot_Tech Hosting Provider

    Personally, my suggestion would be to increase from 35 to 50. Get out of those rookie numbers!

  • Is there a plug-in for selling these on whmcs, so you never have to cancel any of them?

  • Could host some open source services with those as well. Syncthing always needs relays.

    There is a module that can, maybe I can resell them at $2/month for a whopping $1.03/month profit :p
