How does a 32MB look like: SecureDragon O32
Long before IPXCore publish their 32MB VPS offer, SecureDragon already offering VPS with 32MB of RAM. Myself finally bought this one yesterday, and here's few benchmark for you:
It has access to one CPU

It has 32MB RAM that burstable up to 64MB

Conclusion
Besides their greater IO and Network Speed, SecureDragon also provide 16 IPv6 and I can automatically setup RDNS via SolusVM control panel. With almost $2 difference from IPXCore's ($4.17/quarter), SecureDragon's supposed perform better indeed. Joe obviously prepared for this offer, another thing that make me happy is they are provide me a Debian 6 Minimal.

How does a 32MB look like: IPXCore 32MB
Inspired by 96MB.com, I try to run a blog on a LEB (Low End Box), but instead of WordPress I use Blite! and instead of 96MB I use a 32MB. Bought the box from IPXCore's latest offer on LET. People said, that after few tweaks a 32MB will able to host a blog. Well, it does. Now, let's find out how does a 32MB look like:
