My VPS solution

PUBLISHED ON 27/12/2017 — EDITED ON 11/12/2023 — PROJECTS

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

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.

FreeDNS.si

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.
