In these NAT VPS instances you can install:

• Alma Linux v8 | v9.
• CentOS v7.
• Debian v10 | v11 | v12.
• Ubuntu v20.04 | v22.04.

You might be wondering for what purpose you can use these VPS instances with very limited resources. Generally, people think this is just for web proxies, like OpenVPN or Wireguard but you can actually use it as a web server and host any number of projects.

This could give you a hint

Personally, I use this server, yes, as a HTTP proxy but also to test bash/python scripts, as well as a temporary WordPress website, mainly to test themes and plugins. So far, I never experience issues nor downtimes with this NAT VPS instance, the service have been smoothly stable.

Conclusion

If you’re looking a small and inexpensive VPS instance just to learn more about Linux, this is a great option. Don’t forget to keep an eye on Web Horizon deals, they also offer Premium KVM VPS instances and Email Hosting Plans.
