Get a Pi in the Cloud! Raspberry Pi Hosting from RPIServers.com!
If you want a low-end dedi…well, what could be more low-end than a Raspberry Pi?
These little card-based systems have come a long way from their start. The current RPi 4 boasts a quad-core 64-bit processor, up to 8GB of RAM, dual-monitor 4K resolution, and gig-E (with enough horsepower to drive it as full speed).
Is an R Pi a better hosting platform than a VPS? A better question is how it compares to other rock-bottom-cheap dedis. Perhaps the nearest competitor is the 5-EUR-a-month Kimsufi KS-1. Unfortunately, those are very hard to find in stock, and if you hunt hard enough, your reward is an Atom N2800 and a hard drive with 1.3 million hours of power-on.
Yes, an RPi can be quite competitive if you keep perspective – plus as a dedicated server, you can run the CPU at 100% 24×7 if you choose. Your provider won’t care – these things are using ARM chips so power burn is very low.
So perhaps you want to try one…well, now’s the time! RPI Servers (run by LowEndTalk veteran @DataIdeas-Josh) is running a sale.
That RPi 4 I mentioned (with a 4GB) config is usually $7.50/month. You can get it for $3.14 for the first month (to celebrate Pi Day!) between now and April 6.
Other price points:
- Micro Pi Zero: $2.50/month! I believe this is the cheapest dedi on the Internet.
- Pi 3B+: $5/month!
And of course they have bigger Pi 4s available as well. Get in on the deal here.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I’m not in front a screen I’m into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
