My VPS solution
Here is a little bit of info on my personal hosting solution. The whole operation is composed of three various services and discrete providers:
- VPS hosting at OVH
- DNS service at FreeDNS.si
- Backup bucket at Backblaze
VPS
I was using VPS 2016 - SSD 2 that has 1 vCore, 4 GiB of RAM and 20 GiB of storage
on SSD RAID array.
As of december 2018 I am using VPS 2018 - SSD 2 that has 1 vCore, 4 GiB of RAM and 40 GiB of storage
on SSD RAID array. This was a free upgrade provided by OVH, a few clicks and a reboot
of the machine was needed.
Price: € 6.99 + 22% VAT per month
DNS
I manage my records via local Slovenian free provider, for personal stuff it is more than enough and very reliable.
Price: Free
Backup
Nightly backups using Duply are pushed to B2 bucket at Backblaze.
In just over six months I have accumulated 6.8GB of backup data. I am still uder the magical 10GB free margin. Anyway the pricing is great, so I don’t care.
$0.005 per GB per month for storage. $0.02 per GB for download.
