Didn't have anything hosted there. Never saw the little registration link at the top.

Actually never even thought about looking for one...it was just a spur of the moment to pick up one of the illi VPS's to spread out the forum rsyncs. When and if I get time to set it up.

Mine is "BLUE3 - BLUEVM BIRTHDAY SPECIAL (CA)"

Works fine since last two days I bought it, though it is slow to uploads.

Also, it is sometimes slow to rebuild image (though the last rebuild, Ubuntu 10.04, installed in seconds).

Other tests:
