Bored, created a PHP based IRC bot/script - where can I host it for
cheap (besides locally)?
reddit / irc

How cheap is cheap?

DigitalOcean is $5 a month. You'll find a few coupons for $10-20
around the place.

> DigitalOcean

Had no idea about this service, it's exactly what I had in mind.
Thanks!  Do you have a referral code or something?  I'll getcha some
referral bonus if they have it.

It depends on your definition of cheap.
[Ramnode](https://clientarea.ramnode.com/aff.php?aff=1952) has 128MB
VPSes for $15/year (Atlanta, NYC, Seattle, Netherlands) (Ramnode also
has a really nice auto-null system for if you get ddossed)

[Crissic](https://my.crissic.net/aff.php?aff=607) has 512MB VPSes for
$15/year (Los Angelos)

(To be honest, I don't know if you can possibly get any cheaper than
that. Well you can. Crissic also has 256MB VPSes (again, Los Angelos)
for $10/year)

There's a lot of good deals on VPSes to check out, more at some times
than others, on [LowEndBox](http://lowendbox.com/). Got myself a 512MB
VPS for a year in LA, only $10 at the time.

I got a 512mb VPS from bluevm for $15 a year in one of their monthly
deals, I'm happy with it. Though it's tempting to get a digital ocean
or linode one next.

Wow thanks.

I just signed up for a referral code now. Apparently it gives you $10,
too.

I'm sorry :(  I didn't hear back from you in time.  I actually signed
up after not hearing from you when I got home from work.  Here, take
some gold for my appreciation.

Yes, that's why I came here to ask for suggestions (regarding hosts
hating IRC).  I went with digitalocean -  Cheap prices for a great
control panel.

If you're a student you can get 100$ of digitalocean credit through
github, also.

I've long been out of school, thanks a bunch for the offer though.
DigitalOcean is pretty awesome, great results so far.

You could use amazon or microsoft for a year for free.
