The product is the cheapest in-stock machine: USD 5.99 a year is USD 0.4992 a month for 256 MB, 5 GB SSD, 800 GB and 20 ports plus a dedicated IPv6, with 71 in stock, and the vendor states in its own FAQ that the 20 ports carry 'both UDP and TCP', which answers the question most rows leave blank. That is the first of the two traps was told to look for, live and unmitigated: a named UK company dissolved while still selling annual plans. The corpus already holds this evidence - dossier/compute/natkvm-nat-lxc.json quotes the same Companies House record, including 'Dissolved on 26 December 2023', in its evidence array and in its reliability note - and still rates that record qualifies-with-caveat. The evidence and the verdict disagree, and the verdict is the weaker of the two. I am recording the new tier at qualifies-with-caveat only because that is the corpus's existing vocabulary for 'buyable, with a named defect'; the caveat here is not a caveat, it is the whole risk. What is not established: the checkout fields, the payment rails beyond crypto being accepted, and whether a successor entity exists under a different name - the store names none. A buyer should treat the annual prepay as money at risk. The one thing that would change this verdict is a different named entity, live in a register, on the same checkout.","extras":{"shape":{"vcpu":1,"ram_gib":0.25,"disk_gib":5,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null},"billing_model":"annual","term":"annual","m10h_usd":0.5,"m24h_usd":0.5,"price_arithmetic":"USD 5.99 a year / 12 = USD 0.4992 a month.
