What 96mb.com should be - pubcrawler - 03-27-2013
Well let me start the flame war
I think 96mb.com should be about what you can do and others have on small servers. Not just VPS, but embedded systems as well.
What is totally absent for most of the time I've been participating on LET is tutorials and discussions about small resource solutions. Instead majority of the chatter is about big everything (i.e. 2GB of RAM, many cores, 50GB of disk, etc.).
I'd love to see small resource offers on here also. Even if they are 128MB (which is the new lowend over there). The "deals".

Well, seeming that 96mb.com is focused on low-end VPSes and reviews of providers with such plans, I agree.
However, I don't really know because the entire "LowEnd" Market trend has been going towards higher resources allotment.
In the end: A big Ehhh... I don't know which side of the fence to fall.

That said, all the virtualization forums are just making the site look un-like low resource interests and more like a barren provider website. Prune em.
RE: What 96mb.com should be - 96mb - 03-28-2013
pubcrawler, I do agree with you that 96MB should be about low end VPS and that is what I have been mostly focused on. In fact, my plan with LowEndPress.com (which is hosting on @Backtogeek's 32MB Low End Spirit plan) is entirely about that idea.
However, obviously with the forum and of course the blogging on 96MB itself, I am struggling in maintaining LowEndPress.com and feed it with useful info, so I am actually thinking if I should be opening up LowEndPress for some community-contributed articles. Is that something you'd be interested in contributing? Thanks a lot!

32MB plan... where's the link to check out those plans?
Killer.Is this site hosted on a 96MB plan?
Lowendpress, yes, stopped by, new and barren.
I'd set yourself an editorial schedule. Block off an hour or two every X days with the only purpose being to create content for that site. Once you get the ball rolling, others will jump.
Would be nice to get more of the tutorial types from LET over here and roll content from here perhaps sometimes over to LEP. I hate the low end naming schema though......

The only problem with plans that low in ram... is you can't run anything but a few websites. OpenVPN uses over 100mb of ram, and it's running on the lowest plan I have with buyvm @ 256mb along with a webserver, mailserver, and znc server. I wouldn't use anything less than 256mb.... I don't want to have to have a different vps for every service I want to install.

OpenVPN client does work. It's the server that doesn't. Also your BuyVM comment is when they had Burst and not VSwap right? That makes a difference.
Also DNS servers run on 128MB or less. So do a few other things.

Not true, you can run large websites too. I think 96mb was a good example until it started recieving floods I believe. FreeVPS is another example, it's run on less than 128MB RAM and look at how big it is. It's definately possible to do a lot of things, unless you're using specialist software like cPanel for example. But you can run the bits that make up cPanel and find alternatives and run them all in a small VPS.

I think @[coreymanshack] meant doing stuff other than running websites?

Like install cPanel AND THEN run websites? :p
