Show HN: Tiny VPSs without exhausting IPv4 addresses

I'm confused. £4 ($6.83) for a 64mb RAM, 3GB VM vs. $5 (£2.93) 512mb RAM, 20GB SSD from DigitalOcean I'm seeing zero advantage and a whole lot of disadvatage for my extra $1.83. Honestly, you can colo a Raspberry Pi and have a better machine for cheaper.

DigitalOcean even has ipv6 now. What's the point?

We offer it for £4/year not month. SO significantly cheaper.

A Raspberry Pi would not provide better performance than the E3 we have.

Anyway an idea: it's fun. Trying to run a whole LAMP stack or a RoR stack on 64MB RAM is more fun than not using all your resources. Also we're cheap and people like that. We might not always beat them in performance but we don't break the bank either.

I was about to post the same comment as the GP. I thought this was per month, and was going to say it was horribly overpriced. Now it's not :P

The £4 is per year (ie: compared to $60 for the year with DO).

We're a UK company but we house our servers in NL.
