Looking for VPS providers that provide lifetime/1-time payments for research purposes. Don't care if it's onshore or off; neither KVM or Xen. I do know that these types of hosts are basically a fucking legend.
I already know about CloudAtCost and LinuxBear, but is there any other hosts stupid enough to try for it?
Maki!
Doesnt exist
Years ago I bought a cpanel reseller account from some site and then cancelled the paypal subscription, but somehow they forgot to close my account. Used that account for like 4 years with no problem until the company went under (I wonder why..)
Maybe try that with a few cheap looking hosts
>pick any VPN service
>find yearly rate
>multiply rate by 60 years (or however long you're gonna live for from here on out)
>set aside a dedicated bank account with that much money in it
>purchase yearly subscription
>set subscription to continue indefinitely
Tada
There isn't much economic incentive to stay running when all of your clients already paid you and won't pay any more. You should go with an established provider and pay several years in advance.
The hosting market is so volatile that a plan that lasts for the lifetime of the company isn't likely to last for more than a few years.
