It's obvious that the choice for low-end VPS solutions is vast. There are services that shine, there are plenty that are outright horrible, and there are hundreds somewhere in between. We have VPS hosting for as little as a couple dollars per YEAR, providing really amazing resources for a myriad of innovative, ingenious, and yes, sometimes malicious uses.
But what's around the corner?
The low-end VPS world, in its current state, amounts to little more than generally unmanaged Linux instances. In and of itself, that really is truly amazing! Having your own virtual Internet server for literally pennies a day shows just how far we've come. But beyond the obvious nuances across companies such as varying RAM, HDD, connectivity (IPv4, IPv6, NAT), etc., they all generally provide the same thing: an Internet-connected, basic Linux instance.
So what's the next big thing in low-end VPS? What could be added to or changed in the the current offerings to enhance them and make them more competitive, more useful, and more innovative? Or will the low end VPS world simply become a vast scavenger hunt for fastest VPS whose IP addresses aren't blacklisted?
