Welcome to our first Poll on Low End Box!
The last time we asked a question similar to this was nearly 11 years ago. Time flies. Since then VPS has become common place and shared web hosting has become less of the go-to market leader as users have demanded more control, more security and more performance from their web-centric services. We have seen VPS prices come down over time and container specifications go up (way up), enabling more uses, both simple and complex, for virtual private servers.
So, without further delay, let’s get to the Poll:

I'm Jon Biloh and I own LowEndBox and LowEndTalk. I've spent my nearly 20 year career in IT building companies and now I'm excited to focus on building and enhancing the community at LowEndBox and LowEndTalk.
I search VPS for file hosting and VPN few web apps are more for managing my files on the server than really web apps.
Thanks for sharing! :)
Hope everyone takes a moment to vote in our first poll in over 10 years!
The Poll was broken for a few hours but is now fixed. Sorry about that everyone!
Awesome poll! Works for me.
There should be one more option: Email server
Sure! Another option: idle server
How many idle servers do you think people have on average?
Yeo, good suggestion. I wish I had thought of that. Next time :)
I’ve been using VPSs for apt package repository mirrors. Doesn’t quite fit any of your categories.
