@sonic@Rahul The free VPS folks mostly are idlers following their initial login and bench. But @david and I wanted some load on the server for testing purposes. So we ended up asking a friend to set up a VPS to run, I think it was, a Minecraft server. The little baby Xeon D-1521 processors don't bench at all impressively, but, in the real world, the D-1521s seem to get lots of work done. They seem especially good at compiling. For example, as against another processor, bench score increase of 100% gets 5% decrease in compile time. The game server didn't bother anybody.

May I ask - do those minecraft servers peg one CPU core to 100% usage with LXC containers? This is an annoying issue on our machines and qemu/KVM.
Come to think of it, in New York City, the $10 I am asking for a month of LXC VPS Gold might get me a sandwich and a cup of coffee at some places. When I subtract the cost of the servers, it's less than $10 monthly profit per VPS. Maybe that qualifies as "almost free?" Of course, the economic situation isn't the same everywhere. If you guys or other readers really can't afford a VPS, you're invited to PM me with an offer of how much you can pay and the details of why you cannot afford $10. And maybe there will be free VPSes again before too long. Maybe to test an upgraded server.

Just to check the language, by "one CPU core" do you mean one dedicated core with two threads? Or do you mean one "vCore" = one thread?
I have no experience with restricting the LXC VPSes to one thread. I don't think I've ever done that.
Sorry but I don't remember how many cores we gave the VPS that was running Minecraft. I do remember that it bumped the load average a bit, maybe 0.25 or 0.5? The server was running most of the time around 1 plus or minus 0.5. It would hit 8 for a couple of minutes if somebody was running a bench.
I'm far from an expert, but the kernel has sophisticated core sharing mechanisms. Why not use them? Why restrict each user to a tiny maximum percentage of the machine's resources (one vCore) when the whole machine is more or less idle almost all the time.
What I do do is restrict each VPS to a maximum of half the processor resources. Maybe that should be three quarters. Just in case.
I watch the load averages every day. If somebody is really a pig, I'll catch it.
So far everybody says the machine runs okay. I'm glad!

I mean one vCore - and no matter how many they are allocated (most playing minecraft have 4-8) - there will always be one CPU vCores showing 100% usage on our end. This must be a bug that doesn't affect LXCs. Strange, but interesting. Thank you.
Guest machines are seeing 10-20% CPU usage, while we see 100% CPU pegged for each machine running Minecraft. Apparently they aren't actually using 100% CPU - but our side sees that they are. At least we know which users are running Minecraft.

@Not_Oles said: Come to think of it, in New York City, the $10 I am asking for a month of LXC VPS Gold might get me a sandwich and a cup of coffee at some places.
From here where I live, you can get a cup of coffee at any where between $0.13 and $0.27.
Sandwich though not very common here as it falls under the premium tab, but you can get one at $0.67. Also snack items are available at the above mentioned cost of a cup of coffee.
So for just $1 you can satisfy your hunger.
This is a common scenario in most Asian countries except ones like SG.
As a byproduct, don't you notice that cheap yearly vps gets sold like hotcakes ?
In 2014 or 2015, I thought of signing up for google voice since the rates were lower than offered by telecom providers even when considering the exchange rate. But the exchange rate went up a year later and continues even now to.

Is the number of IPv4 available the first bottleneck when it comes to deploying VPS according to you ?
Why not use the LE way of offering IPv4 NAT VPS so as to keep the prices low since, IPv6 is a far cry even now in most places.
@Rahul said: Is the number of IPv4 available the first bottleneck when it comes to deploying VPS according to you ?
Hi Rahul!
The OVH/SoYouStart nodes I am using each come with 16 extra IPv4s for VPSes. They cost $29.95 per month. The srvr.ovh plans are $5 per month (Silver) and $10 per month (Gold).
I have had at most maybe 10 or 12 IPv4s in use on any one node so far, and that was when I was giving away the VPSes for free. So maybe there are enough IPv4s for servers that are not overloaded?
Not fancy benchmarks, but, in real world use, the modest Xeon D-1521 CPUs seem fine: so far nobody has complained about performance.
Why not use the LE way of offering IPv4 NAT VPS so as to keep the prices low since, IPv6 is a far cry even now in most places.
Could do this I suppose. The servers come with only one IPv6 /64 which I haven't been using much at all. How many IPv6 NAT users should there be per node? How much should the plans cost? How would I handle tickets for a large group of users? Seriously, I'm very new at this. I don't know the answers to all these questions. So I am going slowly, and I will learn more as time passes and as you and the other guys here continue to teach me.
Thanks for your comments! Best from Mexico!

Shared IPv4 with 20 Forwarded Ports + 1 SSH Port, /112 IPv6 Subnet, Control Panel including Reverse Proxy management managed from the regular Client Area.
The above mentioned IPv6 Subnet mostly comes to life from that /64 and with that sweet Reverse Proxy( ha proxy ?) option you can host a website just like on port 80, magically.
Note that any Swap is not provided at all so as to not degrade disk io performance since, the disk itself will be the first bottleneck ( if I recall correctly )
@Not_Oles said: How would I handle tickets for a large group of users?
He runs on better servers then I do (which is why my bottleneck is the disk i/o).
That was for LES back in the day, these days I would say that is more like (roughly) 128 users per 8GB Ram.
I would also agree with your points 1 - 5 but add that this is for the majority of use cases and users, there will always be some that this does not apply too it really depends how you target things.

I've used Kimsufi servers for years. I switched to SoYouStart late last year because they offered a promotion where the SYS servers were the same price as the Kimsufis, but the SYS Xeon D-1521 servers had 2.5x the Kimsufi bandwidth and also compiled GNU binutils one third faster than the most expensive Kimsufi with Xeon W3520.
I have set up and run IPv6, but I've always had what seemed enough IPv4s.
I'm not using a billing panel. Many of the hosting industry standard control panels and billing panels are not my preferred open source and copyleft.
I have been using Proxmox to make the LXC VPSes. Just recently @Mason and @seriesn suggested that I could allow users to access the Proxmox web GUI. That seems to work, and it looks like my LXC users soon will be able to access the web GUI, where they can stop, start, reboot, backup, and reinstall their VPS. Also, the users can access and monitor the bare metal server node load averages and see the bare metal performance graphs. I'm still looking at a possible security issue that @Unixfy found. Otherwise the Proxmox GUI will be arriving soon for the users who have signed up.
Haha, although I've used qemu-kvm from the command line many times, I finally tried making a KVM VPS with Proxmox! It was for @Unixfy to test. Using Proxmox and the official Ubuntu 20.04 ISO, the networking didn't work inside the KVM. I'm sure that that the KVM-Ubuntu-OVH-failover-IP networking could be pretty easily fixed (OVH has some guides), but i want to focus more on LXC. Another approach to getting KVM which would be totally crazy but really fun would be to try running the KVM inside LXC!

It seems, @Rahul, that you really want me to go the NAT route. But, happily, people can buy NAT from @mikho and @AnthonySmith. @Abdullah too. Maybe also others. Where I think I might be going is trying to distinguish myself from other VPS providers by (1) using fast-as-metal LXC instead of KVM; (2) allowing users to monitor bare metal host node performance; and (3) using mostly open source copyleft software.
What I am trying to do, @Rahul, is to give you all this explanation as a way of showing appreciation for your kind suggestion that I try the NAT route. If you want to work with me on anything, or if you need anything from me, please feel free to send me a PM.
If anybody really can't afford the prices listed at https://srvr.ovh and really needs a VPS, they are invited to get in touch via PM or the email on my profile with information about their situation.

Wow! I am really impressed by that website. It looks great!
You could consider having a toggle for dark mode using darkmodejs, which I use on my personal site. It works very well! (apart from the Javascript I wrote that changes the logo upon toggle - that seems a bit broken)
As for hosting, I am a big fan of Netlify for static sites. I host all of my Jamstack sites on there. Yes, they are a VC funded company, but they have an outstanding track record of supporting open source. You should definitely give them a try.
Now we need someone giving free vps for vpn ?. For the ones whose internet is censored....
I am quite happy with gullos nat vps. But to my surprise I never crossed 10gb /month in @gullo 's for the last two months . While we are talking because there are so many ipv6s do websites actually consider your subnet for rate limiting you from doing stuff like scraping etc! I mean I have never seen someone doing it? What am I missing
Also forgive my 5 year old ignorant brain if i missed something obvious
So, the below will be a major challenge from preventing a "all hell breaks loose" situation.

@sonic @Rahul The free VPS folks mostly are idlers following their initial login and bench. But @david and I wanted some load on the server for testing purposes. So we ended up asking a friend to set up a VPS to run, I think it was, a Minecraft server. The little baby Xeon D-1521 processors don't bench at all impressively, but, in the real world, the D-1521s seem to get lots of work done. They seem especially good at compiling. For example, as against another processor, bench score increase of 100% gets 5% decrease in compile time. The game server didn't bother anybody.

You could consider having a toggle for dark mode using darkmodejs, which I use on my personal site. It works very well! (apart from the Javascript I wrote that changes the logo upon toggle - that seems a bit broken)
As for hosting, I am a big fan of Netlify for static sites. I host all of my Jamstack sites on there. Yes, they are a VC funded company, but they have an outstanding track record of supporting open source. You should definitely give them a try.
hey, what's up here
@Not_Oles
Tell me if anything is needed, will help as much I can.
btw. the new DARK theme site looks NICE. makes me jealous

Now we need someone giving free vps for vpn ?. For the ones whose internet is censored....
I am quite happy with gullos nat vps. But to my surprise I never crossed 10gb /month in @gullo 's for the last two months . While we are talking because there are so many ipv6s do websites actually consider your subnet for rate limiting you from doing stuff like scraping etc! I mean I have never seen someone doing it? What am I missing
Also forgive my 5 year old ignorant brain if i missed something obvious
Want free vps ? https://microlxc.net
Yes but not anymore, since I found out that.
So, the below will be a major challenge from preventing a "all hell breaks loose" situation.
So please stick to your original path
And Good Luck.
