Raindog308 is a longtime LowEndTalk community administrator, technical writer, and self-described techno polymath. With deep roots in the *nix world, he has a passion for systems both modern and vintage, ranging from Unix, Perl, Python, and Golang to shell scripting and mainframe-era operating systems like MVS. He’s equally comfortable with relational database systems, having spent years working with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, Raindog runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
Beyond the command line, Raindog is a lover of German Shepherds, high-quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop RPGs, and hiking in deep, quiet forests.
His goal with every article is to help users, from beginners to seasoned sysadmins, get more value, performance, and enjoyment out of their infrastructure.
You can find him daily in the forums at LowEndTalk under the handle @raindog308.
Looked for storage VPS for backups, about 500GB and 15-120 euros per year – didn’t find.
Found dual-core VPSes in Europe with 6TB bandwidth and /64 IPv6 in Europe, bought 2! :)
*15-20 Euros, pardon :)
Hosthatch had 1 TB servers for $20/year in Sweden.
Congrats on scoring two of those deals.
Cheap VPS, Cheap storage
I was looking for: Cheap VPS System, Specific Geography
What I found was: Cheap VPS System, Specific Geography (Finland), Storage (2TB), 2x E5-1650 v3 @ 3.50GHz, 2GB RAM and AES-NI VM-x/AMD-V Enabled with 20480 GB/month transfer (Clouvider | Los Angeles, CA, US (10G) | 800 Mbits/sec | 324 Mbits/sec).
For how much you say? 1 Year @ £55.00 GBP
Now to see if I can add CPU RAM…
Thanks for the feedback, Cody!
Cryptocurrency hosting for an affordable price with unlimited bandwith.
Neat idea, we will be on the lookout for offers like that to feature.
