First I spent 167.7 yuan to purchase a 5‑year term, then spent the same amount to renew for another 5 years, for a total of 10 years, costing less than 336 yuan.
Configuration:
2 vCPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8269CY CPU @ 2.50 GHz
512 MB DDR4
2 GB ESSD
200 M bandwidth; 20 GB domestic, 200 GB international free, the remaining traffic is charged per usage, about a few tenths of a yuan per GB.
Main purpose: run an FRP server domestically to bridge my home network, a KMS activation server, a personal navigation page, a fixed yellow page; it feels just right, the space and memory are just enough, and the domestic latency is really low, averaging only about 60 ms, which is great.
The disk space issue is minor; if you run out, you can just pay to expand it. Adding +1 GB for 5 years seems to cost only about 16 yuan.
As for memory, with an Alpine system installed, having 512 MB + 256 MB swap, I feel that running some basic programs is definitely plenty. With such a small system, you can’t expect it to run very powerful software and databases.
Given my modest needs, 20 GB is definitely more than enough. I estimate I use less than 10 GB per month.
Even if I exceed it, I’m not worried; the overage is only ¥0.8 per GB.
I don’t have any coupons either.
This mainly involves creating custom Alibaba Cloud images to get such a low price.
Like this, if the ESSD is only 1 GB, the price is even lower.
Domestically, you don’t want to think about not registering.\nYou can still make a website, but IP access doesn’t require registration. If you want to bind a domain name, registration is definitely needed.\nWith only 20G of traffic domestically, are you doing this just because you think you have too much money.
