2usd/year with a public IP? Link?

At that price range it'll be IPv6s and NAT'd ipv4. The v4s are specific port ranges (and to SSH). I bought a 5 pack multi country one recently to experiment with distributed stuff. :)

A more respectable machine is probably like 15 usd a year (1gig w/ ipv4).

Keeping in mind that you get what you pay for

That first link redirects to spam on mobile. I sure wouldn’t trust them with my credit card.

oh wow. Yeah that is indeed rather dodgy. Sorry about that.

Yeah I'm not giving anyone in this price class a credit card. Paypal & disposable credit cards only.

It's also quite possible that they close shop fly-by-night style so I wouldn't rely on them for anything serious. Still for the price I find them useful for experimenting & learning.
