VPS v. Cloud hosting

Looks like I should give up on AWS.


What is the cheapest VPS I can get to use FreeBSD on and is such a thing as free trial period available?

hruodr A few years ago, I was still running on RamNode with 32-bit FreeBSD. I put in a ticket and asked about changing to the current version 64-bit. They said, "Sure" and made the iso available. I installed that as a regular installation goes in the few minutes that takes for no additional charges and virtually no effort.

I'm trying find out if FreeBSD is available, but I don't see an option for picking it.
 
Trial period, probably not. I can rent a VPS for a single month though. I needed to test something, added a new VPS, did my tests with it, then cancelled it again. Only paid one monthly fee for it.
 
I'm assuming that you want to serve something online, othwerwise it would make far more sense to just load up FreeBSD in a VM where you can really screw stuff up without any real consequences.

Iirc Vultr was $6/month for 1GB RAM (I always used their cheapest 1GB option with Linux but I think there's $2 or $3 512MB ones too)

I couldn't install Linux distros with 512MB (they'd fail while booting, or Ubuntu that failed mid-install; iirc Debian was the only one that succeeded), but didn't try FreeBSD.

It's not part of their regular offerings but it's easy to get and they support you like anyone else. Go here and you can do a live chat or use Discord.

I might be grandfathered in. I don't see the same plan I'm on with two IPV4 addresses and 16 IPV6s for $2/month. They only have IPV6 addresses for $2/month now and if you want IPV4 then it's $2 more. And it's plenty of everything for running FreeBSD. I've been doing it for at least 15 years with them. Or is it 20? Don't recall.
