- dchestA warning about openbsdhandbook[.]com - this website has completely incorrect information for some things. Like hallucinated, even though I think it was created before LLMs.
- 8by3I've always gone with Vultr (vultr.com) for BSD VMs, its properly supported by them and while I've never hard verified this, they seem like a nice smaller player. Like they have offered Open/Free BSD VM's for > 10 years, kind of nice.
- FLeXMurphyDO burned me recently due to their unwillingness to handle DDOS attacks: "The best we can do is change your IP." Thanks guys.Switched to OVH immediately.
- githubholobeatYou can even go completely free with Cloudflare tunnel with your own office/home hardware. I have a simple web running on my old Raspberry Pi 3 + nginx + golang web app. Also with ssh access to the Pi.
- toleranceBack in my day a blog post like this would've included a promotional link for $100 in DigitalOcean credits!
- cedricgleDoes DigitalOcean still only propose up to 4 basic cpu as droplet maximum ?. All their compute capacities disappeared overnight 2025/2026 without any reason.
- daneel_wI run OpenBSD at netcup.de for €2/month. It's very low-spec, but it's enough.
- slekkerFor a little bit more you can rent on https://openbsd.amsterdam - they also donate to the OpenBSD foundation!
- ScarbuttCrazy that after so many years of cloud compute a 8GB VM is $48/mo.
- assimpleaspossiRamNode does $2/month but just one ipv6 address. Add a ipv4 address and it's $4/month.
