Free tier	A sale published on 2026-08-07 lists dedicated servers from USD 25 a month with 32 GB RAM, 1 TB of disk and 40 TB of bandwidth, in Los Angeles or Buffalo, with AMD or Intel hardware. The same vendor's earlier sale listed an Intel Xeon E3-1240 with 16 GB, a 1 TB SSD, 10 TB of bandwidth, a 1 Gbps port and a /30 IPv4 at USD 178.08 a year, which is USD 14.84 a month, and a Xeon E3-1270v6 with 64 GB and a 1 TB SSD at USD 49.88 a month. unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; kind not stated

Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	New record: no colocrossing file exists in dossier/compute. The rung is `reported` because the vendor's own dedicated page is a marketing article with no price table and the only dated numbers come from LowEndBox, which is a third-party deals site quoting the vendor's sale. The CPU model of the USD 25 machine is not stated anywhere I could read, so it is null: a reader who needs the generation should assume nothing. The annual figure of USD 14.84 a month is a 2024 sale and is recorded to show the shape of this vendor's discounting, not as a current price. ColoCrossing being a HostPapa brand is the reliability fact that matters in a lane where the usual failure is an operator that disappears.

Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	NEW PROVIDER, and the clearest dead end of the session. A LowEndTalk thread cites USD 44.44 a year for 8 GB / 4 vCPU / 80 GB / 40 TB, which would be USD 3.70 a month. The vendor's own specials page carries twenty 8 GB SKUs at USD 39.99 to USD 75.00 a year, including three at USD 39.99 (USD 3.33 a month) and four at USD 44.44. Every single one reads '0 Available', and a product page returns an explicit 'Out of Stock ... orders for it have been suspended until more stock is available'. So the prices are real, published and unusable. I enumerated all 93 plans in the specials store and not one has a non-zero stock counter, which is either a store-wide sellout or a template default; the product page's explicit Out of Stock body is what settles it, and I relied on that rather than on the counters alone. VERDICT: 'paid-only' rather than a qualification, because a row that cannot be bought is not an offer — the DediRock lesson applied one step further. Worst case exposure is moot while nothing can be bought. Worth re-checking: these are restocked periodically, and the shapes are the best in the band if they return.
Evidence rung	documented twenty 8 GB SKUs were enumerated with their prices, shapes and stock counters from the vendor's own specials page today; every one reads 0 available and the product page returns an explicit Out of Stock body.

Notes	The strongest fossil, because the product slugs still carry the year: the $12.00 yearly VPS is served from '1gb-black-friday-vps-2024'. Three of the four yearly carts return Out of Stock; the fourth repoints to a monthly category at $3.95. The six monthly VPS offers also repoint to that same category, so the $2.37 figure depends on the BLACKFRIDAY24 coupon being applied to a $3.95 cart - 40% off $3.95 is $2.37, which is consistent but was not tested, because applying a coupon needs a cart session and places no orders. Not verified: whether BLACKFRIDAY24 is still accepted in 2026.
Evidence rung	documented The Cyber Monday page and four yearly carts plus two monthly carts were read today. The page prices and the cart behaviour are both quoted; the coupon's effect on a cart was not tested because that needs a cart session.
