I thought you wanted a 32GB node for 1,000 users.

So how many 32MB VPSes are you putting on that 16GB node...500?

Looks like a 19.99 GBP/mo KS-4.

yes about 500 this was done so each user would get most disk io and cpu time.

Yes it is a KS-4 about £19.20/month inc vat

Yes it is.
Okay.  So probably a desktop hard drive, not enterprise like WD RE/Black and 500 virtual servers on a single hard drive.  You don't see any issues with that? 

1.  How is one hard drive supposed to handle 500 virtual servers?

2.  What is going to happen when that hard drive fails?  Even if you maintain backups, the servers are going to be offline for atleast a day while you struggle to get everything restored.

I watched an episode of House about someone not being able to predict future events or consequences due to an issue with their prefrontal cortex.  Have you been diagnosed recently?

Thank you for your input guys i will order the node tomorrow and have the service up within 7 days.

All money is sorted.

please can you guys provide input on http://32mb.club/

Thank You guys.
Not good. It's not even a design. Look at the websites of some of the most popular hosts.

Your public image will also help to determine the type of clients you will get. The abusers will sign up no matter what (although sometimes even they'll flinch) but even for $0.10/y if it doesn't look like you care about your first point of contact, your site, I'm not going to drop my money on it - especially a totally non-reversible crypto coin transaction.

I think I need to update my calculations.

A /64 is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPs.  I'm sure he'll be able to cram that many VPSes onto a single-disk i5.

At $1.49 each, he should net about $2.75 quadrillion.  Well, minus the 20 GBP a month for the server.
