How much can you really get out of a 4$ VPS?
I am a big fan of cheap VPSs. I start many personal projects, bring up a VPS, play around and then wipe it. Never have to worry about accidentally running up bill in 100s or 1000s of dollars. I run this blog on $4 server.
So this was interesting to read how far can a cheap VPS go.

Blue Thunder and Moon
Ayden was a curious and adventurous five-year-old boy who loved nothing more than riding in his favorite monster truck, Blue Thunder. He spent hours each day practicing and perfecting his skills, always dreaming of one day becoming a professional Monster Jam driver.
One day, as Ayden was practicing his jumps in the backyard, he suddenly found himself soaring higher and higher into the air. Before he knew it, he was hurtling through the atmosphere, leaving the Earth far behind.
As he flew through the vast expanse of space, Ayden couldn’t believe his eyes. He had always dreamed of going to the moon, but he never thought it would actually happen.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Ayden’s monster truck landed softly on the surface of the moon. As he climbed out of the vehicle, he was amazed to find that the moon was made entirely of cheese!
Ayden couldn’t resist the temptation and began to dig in, devouring as much of the delicious cheese as he could. He knew that his little brother, Zayn, would love it too, so he carefully packed some of the moon cheese into a bag and climbed back into Blue Thunder.
As he flew back towards Earth, Ayden couldn’t wait to show Zayn his incredible discovery. When he finally landed back in the backyard, Zayn was overjoyed to see his big brother and immediately begged for a taste of the special cheese.
Ayden happily shared his lunar treasure with his little brother, and the two of them spent the rest of the day eating and laughing together. It was a day that Ayden would never forget, and one that he would always treasure as one of the most amazing adventures of his life.
