This idea has been floating in my head for about 10 years. Some of you might remember LowEndSpirit.com back before it became a forum, I started that. I've been obsessed with making tiny, cheap VPS actually useful ever since. TierHive is my attempt to make 128MB VPS great again :) It's a NAT VPS (KVM) platform with true hourly billing. Spin up a server, use it for 3 hours, delete it, pay for 3 hours. No monthly commitments, no minimums beyond a $5 top-up. The tradeoff is NAT (no dedicated IPv4), but I've tried to make that less painful: - Every account gets a /24 private subnet with full DHCP management.
- Every server gets auto ssh port forwarding and a few TCP/UDP ports
- Built-in HAProxy with Let's Encrypt SSL, load balancing, and auto-failover
- WireGuard mesh between locations (Canada, Germany, UK currently)
- PXE/iPXE boot support for custom installs
- Email relay with DKIM/SPF
- Recipe system for one-click deploys Still in alpha. Small team, rough edges, but I've been running my own stuff on it for months.
Would love feedback — especially on whether the NAT tradeoff kills it for your use cases, or what's missing. (IPv6 is coming)
