Seeing it's so low price, I can't help to buy it 
But after I paid... I realized... how to use it?
VPN? I already have many VPNs and I am an Astrill subscriber....
Just install LNMP and leave it idle? A PHP probe with 7 IPs? Hmm.....
Who have any better ideas?

Yes
ask ninja maybe she know something
Cancel it, try to reorder and install LNMP.
make profit by reselling it with $10
I hope that this will fail.
You don't use them, just keep them idle.
I have a couple of the 512 MB from their first offer, and it's good for trying out different control panels..
I can help u to use it .
我来帮你利用起来吧，小伙伴。
How to? Hahaha
怎么利用？哈哈哈
whatever you want to use it for, dont use it for spam
Not a spammer or abuser
I run a SSH server on it.
Can you post a tutorial please?
Give it to me. I'll find a use for it.
That would take to long, don't have time for that, sorry
Graph it up with http://infinitystat.com/ !
Give me a car, I'll find a use for it.
That's not even remotely funny
Bought mines in haste didnt realize couldn't use for irc lol. I jus let it idle for the time being.
Key it to your other boxes and make aliases in bashrc to quickly login to those boxes, like a short name. Then so you don't forget, put the names of those boxes in the motd. Suddenly it becomes the master server for all your others. Experiment with different ways to administrate your other boxes from one master (salt maybe?).
Keeping "keys to the kingdom" on the cheapest possible yearly OVZ (where the host or an intruder could easily enter your container, see your motd and from there on proceed to your other boxes) doesn't sound like the most awesome idea.
Ha, fair point. It is a more unique suggestion around here though
It's what I do but I also do it on a server where I personally know and trust the person physically overseeing the server from a few feet away.
Catalyst Overseeing Services LLC?
If there's one thing I think few people would disagree with me on it's that Ryan is freaking awesome at what he does
A ssh honeypot?
Make a script to stress the cpu for random small intervals that increase with time and see how long it takes to get the container disabled
It will not get disabled, but rather downclocked.
Make the password extremely long and hard to crack.
Then make a script to scan and log each unique IP address from /var/log/auth that tries to bruteforce their way in.
Then delete the list.
Now you don't have to say it's just idling.
These are amazing for testing new software. OS reinstalls are almost instant. Though the five/seven IP's are a little overkill..
