    [root@vps ~]# uptime
    20:28:38 up 80 days,

    On Node8. :)

    Bah Free VPS. Why use it for production server? If I were you, I would use it for monitoring purpose (even though I doubt how good it will be ). Hell it is free :P

    I saw their TOS and it isn't mentioned anywhere. Can we use it to just backup our files (using simple FTP)?

    If yes, free 10GB backup service! I only need around 5GB (after 7zipped) to backup my application / web project though.

    Oh, even if its only 128MB ram, we got 640MB Vswap. Too bad the CPU freq only 2 cores 266 mhz...

    i applied but no change..

    anytone want to get rid of his vps i can use it as a learning machine,

    i bought a128mb non brust vps and cant update or install lighttpd memory cannot allocated, ticketed for refund..

    yes noob here . :)

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    You probably got a centos one. For low memory get debian. Or reinstall with debian.

    .....

    128 mb memory shouldn't have an issue with Centos. I have a vps 128 mb (host1free), and run well using Centos. I only use Nginx and PHP5 (fpm) without database/MySQL.

  • tridinebandimtridinebandim Member

    yum had some isues with a module everytime i try to update erase or install app it stopped throw an error i dont remember,
    now i installed debian, first run it used 6 mb.., i did aptget update && apt-get upgrade(yum is shorter to write thats why i like centos..says noob) while update proccess my connection lost, and memory loaded around 50-55 , i did ps aux, see that named using 6mb mem. killed it merciless, mem usage went down to 22 mb, i rebooted now mem usage 55mb and named is there and sucking my mem. (i must write a noobs blog)

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    to remove named do apt-get remove bind9.
    Unless you need it somehow.

    when you are running yum on low memory systems, disable plugins in /etc/yum.conf
    This way i was able to run yum update even on 32+32MB vps. Hope this helps.
    also kill whatever process you can before trying.

    I doubt he need it :)

    Edit:
    You can try using minstall script to stripdown debian installation. Im on mobile. Just google: maxexcloo minstall

    (My first post!)

  • budingyunbudingyun Member

    Just get for myself too. I'm on node 15 btw. :D

  • kkasbergkkasberg Member

    I just signed up for one of these accounts as well. I setup a small wordpress blog with the stats, and am gathering stats on uptime. These are not high performers, but they could be good for developement/testing, or just having some fun playing with.

    In SolusVM I didn't see bandwidth usage being monitored. Did they offer unmetered bandwidth?

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Yes, as far as I remember.

  • kkasbergkkasberg Member

    Yes, bandwidth is unmetered.

  • kkasbergkkasberg Member

    Agreed, this is defiantly not something that I would consider for a production application. It is not bad though for being able to test out new configurations/code.

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    it had better speed before and i doubt the decrease is due to abuse, more like a reduction from owners.
    Even so, it is enough to learn and test things.

    I am wondering if someone here still read and/or care about those new and new Host1Free bench results every day :P

  • NanoG6NanoG6 Member
    edited August 2012

    I do, because the benchmark result keep changing everyday ;)
