Layer.ae ❯ L512M
Overview: Layer’s VPS in Spokane, WA runs on KVM virtualization with Linux templates. It offers 1 shared Ryzen 9 7950X core, 512 MB RAM, and 10 GB NVMe (PCIe 4.0). It provides 500 GB bandwidth at 10 Gbps, with IPv4 and /64 IPv6. Additional features include BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) support, 5 free backup slots, and DDOS protection.
Pros: The low-memory, high-throughput configuration is best exploited by network-centric appliances. It is suitable for deploying specialized routing or firewall distributions (e.g., custom Linux-based router or security appliance), lightweight DNS resolvers, or VPN gateways using minimal operating systems, and BYOIP support allows advanced routing with user-owned IP addresses.
Cons: The limited 512 MB RAM confines workloads to minimal tasks. The 10 GB NVMe storage is insufficient for data-heavy operations and is best reserved for system and configuration files. Although the port speed is 10 Gbps, the 500 GB/month bandwidth cap restricts high-volume transfers.
