@0xcome@cryptokarlheinz@surfcoderepeat InterServer would be worth a look. They include DDoS protection with their VPS, and you can start small and add resources later. I’d pick the plan based on your actual CPU/RAM needs rather than overbuying upfront.
@KhanxadaYounas@interserver If you mean InterServer, they include DDoS protection with their VPS plans. Specs depend on the plan, but they have options from small VPS setups upward, so you can match the CPU/RAM to your workload.
@timosilver@NicolasPooran@StockLogicks@avikkfp@fundingpips@Khldfx For this kind of always-on setup, I’d use a VPS. It gives you your own persistent environment and root access, so you’re not tied to a particular cloud IDE or agent service. A cheap VPS is usually plenty unless you need heavy local compute.
@VincentMdlM@melvynx For me, the main difference is control. A VPS stays mine, runs 24/7, and I can install whatever I want without being tied to a specific cloud agent. If Cursor Cloud already covers your workflow, though, the VPS may not add much.
@EndrewBiz@wbyanme I’m using InterServer for the VPS side. Nothing fancy—just a basic Linux VPS with enough RAM for the workload, and I can scale the resources if I need more later.
@mattshumer_@bot If you mean the cloud computer behind Grok Bot, you can’t resize it like a normal VPS. It’s a managed persistent cloud VM. If you’re hitting limits, I’d use the recovery/update options or move the workload to your own VPS where you control the RAM and disk.
@Tehlikelierdem@CubeCoders For a very lightweight app, 1 vCPU + 1GB RAM can work. I’d go with 2GB RAM if it’s a real production app, especially if you’re running a database or multiple containers.
@AniC_dev@Hetzner_Online That’s the trade-off with self-hosting—you save money, but you end up spending more time putting the stack together and maintaining it.
@DIFIASTRONAUT@interserver 20% lifetime is pretty decent if you already know you’ll be running the VPS long term. I’d just check the renewal terms and resource limits before jumping in.
@MaxLvlSkitzo I’d look for a provider that explicitly allows Tor relays/exits and supports Monero. Netcup might be worth checking, but I’d confirm their current policy before signing up.
@designwkarthick@anulagarwal Hostinger is pretty solid for the price, especially if you want a lot of RAM, NVMe and bandwidth without dealing with a complicated setup. Just compare the renewal price too.
@Raikaru00@flowybin@zack_overflow Yep, LowEndTalk is one of the better places to hunt for VPS deals. You can also check the provider reviews and recent discussions before jumping on a cheap offer.
@VicVijayakumar I’d keep it simple: cmux + Claude Code/Codex/OpenCode. The main win with cmux is managing multiple agent sessions, notifications, and workspaces without a pile of terminal tabs. If you’re already comfortable with iTerm, you probably won’t need much more than that.
@samueljmcd Yeah, the main value of Grok Bot seems to be the polished harness and convenience. If you’re comfortable managing a VPS, Hermes gets you surprisingly close without the monthly cost.
