Crypto VPS, AI agents over MCP, trading-bot hosting and paying in USDC/USDT — no KYC.
Linux or Windows VPS: which one do you actually need?
The choice decides your price, how much RAM is left for your work, and how you run the server day to day. Idle RAM and disk measured on fresh Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu and Windows Server 2022 servers, real plan prices, and the short list of jobs that really need Windows.
How much disk space does a VPS need? We measured what actually fills it
A fresh Ubuntu server uses 2.7 GB, Windows Server 14 GB. After that, the disk fills from Docker images, logs nobody limits and years of updates. We measured each on our own servers, so you can pick a plan with room to spare.
Windows 10 or Windows Server on a VPS? Why every host sells Server, and what you lose
People search for a Windows 10 VPS and get offered Windows Server. Here's why: licensing, the end of Windows 10 support, and what actually differs day to day: RDP sessions, the Store, memory, updates until 2031. With numbers from a live Windows Server 2022 VPS.
VPS or sandbox: does your AI agent need its own server?
A sandbox lives for minutes and costs fractions of a cent. A VPS stays up all month and has a real address. Which one an agent actually needs depends on three questions, and the price crossover sits at roughly 80–90 hours a month.
After the order: how an AI agent runs its own VPS over MCP
Buying the server is the easy part. What an agent does on day two and day thirty — waiting for SSH, reading metrics, rebooting, renaming, keeping the balance up, asking for help, handing access to a person — tool by tool, with what we saw in testing.
When you actually need 64 GB of RAM (and when 2 GB is enough)
Most slow servers aren't short of memory. Before you pay for 64 GB, find out whether you're waiting on RAM, on disk or on CPU: three commands that tell them apart, the workloads that genuinely need a big box, and the ones that run on 2 GB for years.
What AI agents actually need from infrastructure: 7 requirements, and where human-first hosting gets in the way
An agent that rents compute isn't a faster human. It can't solve a captcha, read an HTML error page or notice a runaway bill. Seven concrete requirements for infrastructure that software can use on its own, what each one prevents, and what is still unsolved.
VPS vs shared hosting vs dedicated vs cloud: an honest comparison
Four ways to rent a place for your code, and each one wins somewhere. Where shared hosting is simply the better deal, where a VPS earns its keep, when a whole physical server is worth it, where big cloud platforms shine, and the places a VPS is honestly worse.
Per-second billing, explained: why a 20-second sandbox costs $0.00055
“Billed per second” hides half a dozen decisions: what is counted, when the clock starts, minimums, rounding, and when the money actually leaves your balance. Here is our full formula with worked numbers, and the point where per-second stops being the cheaper option.
NAT or your own IPv4: what one forwarded port can and can't do
A NAT VPS gives you one personal SSH port and a normal outbound connection. Here's what runs happily on that, why port 443 and your own domain don't, the workarounds that are worth it and the ones that aren't, and how to move to an IPv4 plan without reinstalling.
Moving your VPS to a new provider without downtime
A migration checklist in the order that actually avoids downtime: lower the DNS TTL days before, build the new server next to the old one, sync twice, test it before anyone sees it, then switch. Plus the things that break most often, and when you can't avoid a short pause.
Container vs microVM isolation: 4 levels compared, from a subprocess to a full VM
A subprocess, a container, a microVM and a virtual machine all promise to contain code you don't trust. They stop very different things. Here is what each boundary actually blocks, how each one tends to fail, what it costs in start time, and a table for choosing.
