## HostNamaste (Compute)

- `compute/hostnamaste` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category cloud VM
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-22 (live) | stale on 2026-11-22
- url https://www.hostnamaste.com/openvz-vps.php
- free tier: OpenVZ-512 at USD 3.49/month: 1 CPU, 512 MB RAM plus 512 MB vSwap, 20 GB SSD, 1 TB bandwidth, SolusVM panel, 1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6, in Los Angeles, Dallas, Mumbai/Pune, Paris or Quebec. The page states "Plans starting at $3.49/Month", with the same plan at USD 10.47 quarterly, USD 20.94 semi-annually and USD 41.88 annually. The tracker lists a cheaper row, OpenVZ_256 at USD 2.00/month billed yearly (1 Intel core shared, 256 MB RAM, 10 GB HDD, 256 GB/month, 0.1 Gbps, Los Angeles) and states "starting at $24.00 per year", but no 256 MB plan appears anywhere on the vendor page read, so this record leads with the plan the vendor actually sells. | unit: GiB | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: none
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: bandwidth is a plan line item, 1 TB a month on OpenVZ-512, with no overage rate and no post-quota shaping policy published on the page read | metered: yes | free allowance: 1024 GB per month on OpenVZ-512 | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: not stated
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 1 TB a month on OpenVZ-512 is about 33 GB a day, and the 256 MB tracker row carries 256 GB a month, which is 8.5 GB a day. [1]
- limits note: 1 TB a month on OpenVZ-512 is about 33 GB a day, and the 256 MB tracker row carries 256 GB a month, which is 8.5 GB a day.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: root OpenVZ container with a SolusVM panel and TUN/TAP/PPP enabled, so any client runs inside it and no wrapper is needed; the vendor documents no API on the page read. OpenVZ is container virtualisation, not KVM, so the kernel is shared and a custom kernel module will not load.
- composes with: At USD 41.88 a year this holds a public IPv4 with root and a SolusVM panel, which makes it a DNS secondary, a mail relay or a cron box; 512 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk cannot hold a working set, and 1 TB a month moves control traffic only, so the data path belongs on a volume-quota host or an unmetered one.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The tracker and the vendor disagree on the floor: the tracker sells an OpenVZ_256 row at USD 2.00 a month, and the vendor's own OpenVZ page says plans start at USD 3.49 and lists no 256 MB plan. A record that led with USD 2.00 would have quoted a plan nobody could order from the page read.

## HostNamaste, KVM 1GB (Diwali annual)

- `egress/hostnamaste-kvm-1gb` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category vps (hosted, Los Angeles, KVM, IPv4 and IPv6) | tier KVM 1GB (Diwali annual)
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-11-03T07:36:42.856Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-04
- url https://www.hostnamaste.com/
- price USD 17.99 per year with 2TB/month included | parsed USD 0.7496/TB-mo
- free tier: No free tier. KVM 1GB is USD 17.99 a year (about USD 1.50 a month) on annual billing until 8 November 2026: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 2TB/month of bandwidth, Los Angeles. The standing KVM ladder starts at USD 3.99 a month (KVM-512: 512 MB, 15 GB SSD, 1 TB premium bandwidth, 1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 address). | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-11-03 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable: a virtual server, not an object store | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable: a live server, not stored bytes | source: [1]
- egress: 2TB/month on KVM 1GB and 1 TB/month on KVM-512, on a premium port of 1-10Gbps; extra bandwidth is sold at USD 2.00 a month per 1 TB. No overage rate and no post-allowance policy is published on the pages read. | metered: yes | free allowance: 2TB/month included in KVM 1GB | price per TB: USD 2.00 per 1 TB per month (KVM upgrade add-on) | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: unverified: the client-area register page says an account is made by placing an order, and the order-form fields were not read; the pages list 'Multi Currency Payment Supported & Accepted' without naming a method.
- interface: ssh
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 2TB/month on KVM 1GB [2]
- binding note: 2TB/month is the only published ceiling on KVM 1GB; the first failure for a high-volume job is the allowance, after which extra bandwidth is a USD 2.00 a month add-on per 1 TB.
- interface detail: Root SSH on a full KVM guest; SolusVM or Virtualizor panel on the standing ladder, a VPS control panel and Docker Manager on the Diwali plans.
- tooling: ssh, any VPN or tunnel daemon the guest kernel supports; the OpenVZ line states TUN/TAP/PPP.
- composes with: A KVM guest with one IPv4 and one IPv6 address per plan is a UDP-capable endpoint in Los Angeles; the pages read state no NAT, no port-forward count and no inbound filter, and no routed IPv6 prefix (one IPv6 address is listed).
- reliability: The annual price is a promotion that ends on 8 November 2026; the renewal price is not stated on the pages read.
- notes: Cheapest annual plan on the vendor page, with a standing monthly KVM ladder that includes an IPv6 address. Inbound port policy, NAT and IPv6 prefix size are not stated on any page read.
- evidence note: The price, the 2TB/month allowance and the IPv4 and IPv6 lines are vendor sentences read on 2026-11-03. Identity, the renewal price and whether the IPv6 line is one address or a prefix are not stated, so the record is not raised above documented for those fields.
- extras:
  - nat: not stated; the plan lists one IPv4 address
  - ipv6: one IPv6 address per KVM plan; routed prefix not stated
  - inbound: no inbound filter or port limit stated
  - udp: not stated; a KVM guest with root
