I'm literally running 5 sites and $40k MRR on a $5 linode


I love hearing stuff like this. What are you using for your database(s)?


MySQL - just checked.

I would've sworn it was postgres. Just shows how much attention I pay to anything that isn't business logic


Wow! What kind of sites are these to generate $40k MRR and fit on a $5 linode? I can think of one or the other but not put both together

"Sweaty Startups"

- Lawn work

- Accounting/Bookkeeping

- Power washing

- House cleaning

And a single content site monetized by affiliate/ads


That’s awesome! Do you mind sharing about your tech stack or how you deploy?


I have a linode vps and easyengine

When I want to create a new site I ssh in and type:

sudo ee site create yourdomain.com --wp --letsencrypt

And I have a deployed wordpress site and ssl certificate.
