This is how host1free NOT finally ceased - They're back in business

Jeffrey

I got my Free VPS within an hour of signing up. I also had one in the past and did not receive any Emails from an automatic creation they were talking about.

I applied before it went down and have applied now and can't get one :-(

Yes, I also get rejected now for the re-application of my original account.

I got one, took 2 days or so...
@sundaymouse - maybe a change to the thread title is needed?

Jeffrey

@asterisk14 The Title change is up to the mods/admins, not the topic creator.

It depends.

After some tricks been used, I also received a box from them. So I have to admit they are not dead yet.

I got my VPS too.

How did You get the VPS? Just applied on the webpage form?
How long did it take to get it?

I signed up for one today, i'll be using it as a DNS server, most likely.

netomx

@Janevski Yup, like half a day.

Looks like you guys are lucky, this is what I got:

Hello,

We are sorry to inform you that your free VPS application was not approved.

There could be multiple reasons behind this:

• You have not supplied correct personal information in the registration form;
• Our servers currently do not have enough free resources to create virtual machines.

Please try submitting your application again in few months.

Please note that HOST1FREE technical support is provided ONLY in HOST1FREE http://www.host1free.com/forum/ technical support forum.

Best Regards,
Host1Free.com

They suspended registrations, as they ran out of IPs.

Thanks for the info.

Today i got my rejection notice, it states that either my supplied data is invalid (which is not) or their servers are full.

Anyhow, i got what i *paid for - nothing. *Except for sharing my personal information with them, as requested.

I thought they own the IP block, otherwise the cost of IP alone would probably ruin their balance sheet...

Whois on their IPs clearly says that IPs are PA from Ghostnet.

As this doesn't usually happen in the industry, this IP change has marked the sign of their consideration of ceasing the free VPS service.

Hang out a little bit longer and you'll see this. Not everybody on here runs their own networks and a LEB provider being kicked out of a DC is not unheard of

Funny thread title. Doesn't make much sense. ;-)

When they were down, the original title was "This is how host1free finally ceased".
But as the things propagate, the reality is against what I predicted, which forced Mr @spirit to change the title.

I think @spirit took the easy way out and applied a Boolean NOT operator on the title. |:P

I am waiting for the thread with the XOR operator then

@Spirit is just back from short (2 days) vacations. He hasn't touched anything at LET yet
