Wish this was available in Europe, i would be moving our main site to one in no time.
for those RAM hungry guys - will update with dropbear if you want =P
@GetKVM_Ash -- You'd move your main site to a VPS with 32mb of ram? Wordpress takes enough just having a standard installation, I'd be surprised if you could get a working billing portal and running cron jobs effectively with WHMCS & A backend DB.
:']
You're my hero
We're sticking with Phoenix for the meantime... Phoenix has been good to us, plus we're physically here. I get a little freaked out about relying on 'remote hands', though i've never really heard any horror stories about it.
Update:
On that step, select the locale you want, I suppose you want EN and EN_US UTF8
change NO_START=0 to 1
without disconnecting that session, open another one to check if Dropbear worked. If yes, disconnect eh first session.
And after a reboot:

Good job Damian! Did you build some specific nodes for this kind of small vps?
Please come join my MC server running under 32mb.
68.171.100.213:25565
you're kidding, right?!
Nope, join.
It crashed out a few mins ago, but I think I fixed it.
@Damian
How much does extra bandwidth cost?
you're using the C++ version of MC right?
Ofc.
It seems to run oom in around 1 min, I've disabled trees, water, lava, mobs and pretty much everything but generation.
Yeah, why not. Our site only actually consists of a WP install and static HTML/PHP.
We don't use WHMCS, we use an external PCI compliant system (Remotely hosted on a cloud) and just built a PHP order/ticket system. Our email etc is also hosted on Google Apps and DNS at our registrar.
Thanks! We did not, this is not one of our best nodes (as you can tell by the CPU), but I'd like to see it have a bit more action.
Our standard cost is 12 cents per gigabyte. I understand this is a bit high; unfortunately bandwidth is our least-plentiful resource.
Oh well I got a MC server running, until someones starts talking, then it runs out of memory pretty much instantly.
Its a proof of concept, you can indeed run a minecraft server on 32mb of RAM
Wanna try switching to burst ram instead of vswap?
I think I am going to buy one of these today
Yes please, 68.171.100.213 is the IP.
the mineserver gc dosen't like going into the swap, so it just kills itself as soon as 1 little byte touches sit.
It's switched, make sure you're seeing 64 on your free -m output, then try again.
Hmm, where at?
how much for additional hd space? let say 20 GB/40 GB/100 GB. maybe that great for backup
@tommy: 4 cents per gigabyte. So for 20gb, it would be 80 cents extra per month. The 40 and 100gb would be greater than the monthly transfer allocation. On the other hand, i'm not going to be an evil human being about it; if you manage to upload 100gb of stuff over time, but then need all 100gb in an emergency, we're not going to block you.
irc.freenode.net #lowendbox you should join us
@MrLadoodle try to disable logs ?
Mee too, I've been looking for a good UK VPN...
Just some testing in this vps, so anyone not needed to perform benchmark which might slow down another user.

The Unixbench scores may be a little low; the hostnode is running a script to auto-nice any process that runs for more than 10 seconds and uses more than 95% CPU.
@Damian : sorry for causing high cpu usage at the node
