512MB the new 1GB: inflation hits VPS too

512MB is the new budget floor. Used to be 256MB, 128MB before that. Filtering layer: price inflation, not technical limits. ARM broke this downward. 2Gbps scrubbing at Vultr runs on 256MB nodes. Anycast control plane: 128MB. RAM isn't the bottleneck for mitigation.

mitigated 800Gbps before breakfast

Network okay.

96MB plan. 2017. Time4VPS. Still billing. Perkele.

# yabs.sh on Hostinger 512MB KVM
fio test:
  read:  82.4 MB/s
  write: 41.2 MB/s
iperf3:
  send:   380 Mbits/sec
  recv:   210 Mbits/sec

Decent disk IO, meh network. 512MB performs like 2019 1GB tier. Comparison:

  • 2019 1GB: ~80MB/s disk, 400Mbit net
  • 2024 512MB: ~80MB/s disk, 300Mbit net

Same price though. Numbers don't lie.

fio, iperf, geekbench. results or gtfo.
