Free vps?

Came across this on WHT earlier. They removed the thread, but check this out.
http://www.stylexnetworks.com/

Obviously not the smartest open ended offer for what I'm guessing is a new company, but hey, a front row seat to see how it plays out and maybe a freebie if they are actually giving them out. Haven't received mine yet, just thought I'd pass on the find.

    Their GeoLocation must be a little wacked out. I get a 30 second ping from PA.

    Another attempt to hijack this thread. Cogent getting off abovenet then GBLX, hwng then abovenet?

    And I just did a traceroute from Cogent's looking glass, ORD->208.48.236.130 directly get off from cogent to GBLX via their 10G connection.

    Yeah, it's in Amman, I got a friend to ping it :P

    @Daniel said: Its not really free :(

    Yeah, I wouldn't even trust 1USD with them. Not worth it.

    That's really hard to guess why, isn't it? Or are you trying to spark some kinda debate or something. :L

    If a server is in Palestine it will prolly get bombed, but parts of West Bank might be ok.

    Well, my curiosity won this time so I ordered one with Paypal (not subscription).
    Will post benchmark when provisioned. Servers are located in the USA they told me.

    Maybe glasses with polarizing filters to enhance the 'cloud' effects? :)

    Nah, they're safety glasses.

    I mean I've seen sites with a worse presentation. I always give the benefit of the doubt, no clue how they're funded or what their plans are. Their products are priced to be profitable at least, short of this freebie.

    7 Racks, yea - It's also bomb proof.
