    No shared host in their right minds is gonna let you consume 1GB if not more on a $3/month or less plan. It would not be profitable for them to do so and hence where VPSes comes in.

    The reason a VPS host can however is because their Virtualizor (or similar) licenses are literally like $10/node or less. So they can afford to give you more “bangs for your bucks” Unlike Cpanel/DirectAdmin/etc, CloudLinux, Immunifiy365, etc.

      Right, but you wouldn’t need 1GB a month for running on PHP right. The whole goal here is to leverage this dirt cheap hosting easily for small web apps. For anything more serious there’s the VPS. The other aspect that’s worth noting is maintenance, once you set up a VPS you’re going to have to do at least some minimal system administration like security patches.

        Actually I barely need to logs into my VPS for gaming thanks to Unattended Upgrades. Sure it’s not “sysadmin free” and you gotta know what’s your doing but it SURELY gotten easier over the years with that, docker, snaps, etc etc etc.

          Sure, but I still don’t see what the problem is with having more options for cheap hosting is. :)
