An interesting use of my LES server. How do you use your one?
@AnthonySmith is running a great service at LowEndSprit, where you can purchase low end servers with 5 ipv6 address. They cost like $4/year. So I purchased one a few days ago and using it as continuous integration server for my projects
I pointed one of my domain using cloudflare's free Ipv6 to Ipv4 proxy, http://forum.lowendspirit.com/viewtopic.php?id=441
I put a php file in the /var/www which just creates a temporary file in /tmp folder
I ran a cron job in this LES machine which runs after every 5 minutes, checks for that specific file in the /tmp folder. If found it runs a "git pull" in a repository and then perform an rsync to one of my remote server, and then deletes that file from the /tmp folder. My project code in the remote server gets update immediately. The code of the shell script is like this http://hastebin.com/rakayunexe.bash
I setup a webhook for GIT PUSH in github/bitbucket which calls that php file immediately when I push an update. This automatically makes #3 effective
Just for extra security, in github/bitbucket I added my LES server's public key as a readonly key.
It works perfectly fine. And this one single LES box is automatically updating many projects whenever I push a code update from my development machine.
If you own an LES or very low end box, how you are using it?

for my CDN, Ipv6 Native and HA Proxy for Ipv4. Over 100Days uptime... awesome.

Yeah, these boxes are cool. I purchased one in their Italian node with SSD. absolutely great
I was with them since the 1st day
Back then only 1 location in NL if not mistaken
I'm running my ZNC bouncer on it, I know... boooooring.
People use them for anything you can imagine, the only thing that is not possible (yet) is https based sites on port 443, mail server, pptp specific VPN.
For anything else why do you need a dedicated IPv4?
thats the way I think of it anyway, you get IPv4 with a port range so it works great, I personally run a few as well for web based projects.

Will be replacing the main site with one a member made and have some big plans for 2014 so watch this space
I use mine as a ftp server, just to store files and stuff
Vpn here. +1 for LES and @AnthonySmith
@AnthonySmith
Bigger plans?
I would buy a 1G server instantly. (For my skypebot)
Not possible, sorry. This has been answered many times on the LES Forums.
Here's an FAQ: http://forum.lowendspirit.com/viewtopic.php?id=551
I mean a seperate plan. Not addons.
He said he had some big plans and to be honest. Another LES location doesn't sound like 'a big plan'.
@taronyu 1024MB OpenVZ starts from 19$ Yearly but not InceptionHosting, so should not be the problem.
I already know what the "big plan" is and it's certainly not more resources :P
But... but... That isn't a LES box
You got my attention now, but I will be patient
@taronyu but but 25$ is INIZ and its as awesome as inception hosting.
True... true haha. It is weird... but I never had a server with INIZ. (not yet)
Lowendspirit isn't about high ram servers so that's the reason for addons, not larger packages.
