ChunkHost 128MB / 3GB Disk / 35GB BW Xen VPS - Price: FREE FOREVER

NickMNickM Member
edited September 2012 in General

Came across this offer on reddit today and I figured that you guys and gals might be interested. They require a facebook account to get your free VPS (they claim they won't post anything on your wall or anything like that).

Offer can be found here: http://chunkhost.com/r/nickmoeck

In the interest of full disclosure, yes, the above link is a referral link. I am in no way affiliated with ChunkHost, but I'll receive an extra 64MB of RAM for each person who signs up using the referral link. If you don't want to use the referral link, that's your choice, and it's fine with me - you can find the offer directly on their homepage.

EDIT: I figured it would be most appropriate if I put this in the General section, since it's not really an offer from me, but if you guys would prefer it be moved to the Offers section, let me know.

    You got it? I signed up about 3 weeks ago and they said they're at full capacity.

    Same deal for me, so they harvested my email for nothing :o Glad I made a new facebook for this.

    In their control panel, ChunkySoup pending-machine

    The fact that you're using a fake facebook may be the reason you're getting rejected. I saw something that says that they check that it's an established profile, with friends and whatnot.

    Says they verify my identity using facebook but what constitutes a real facebook identity? I could go on fiverr and get 5k friends, add a few pics from google images? We'll see what happens.

  • dnomdnom Member

    I used my real FB account. I'll update you guys if my chunk will get activated after 24 hours.

    Mine's real, still rejected.

    Sweet, got one first try and it's not bad. Here's the LEB bench stats:

    [root@AsadHaider ~]# sh bench.sh
    CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5310 @ 1.60GHz
    Number of cores : 4
    CPU frequency : 1600.106 MHz
    Total amount of ram : 112 MB
    Total amount of swap : 0 MB
    System uptime : 3 min,

    I/O speed : 26.1MB/s

    Reposted this at my universities computing society forum, already got a couple of signups.

  • Antony500Antony500 Member

    Used real Facebook, referred some people, tada! VPS not working anymore, can't login.

  • craigbcraigb Member

    I got "at full capacity" too. when I click on "Chunks" in the navbar to list servers associated with my (new) account it shows "pending-machine".

    i have their free vps for about 1 month, you should use your real facebook account (tried afew times with my gaming account, no luck..)

    i think they look your fb account, infos, and decide if their capacity is full or not..

    their uptime is good...

    Well, if you are in pending-machine, good luck getting one. Also, don't waste your time, after you get some referrals on it, they block you.

    I've got 5 referrals but my "chunk" is still showing as having 128MB RAM. Has anyone managed to get the extra RAM from referrals applied?

    How about you @NickM?

  • NekkiNekki Veteran

    Just signed up with an fb account that I use once or twice a year, all good.

    I signed up, and within 15 minutes I had an account. The IO looks pretty poor. Still, you can't complain for a free VPS.

    @AsadHaider they dont offer extra ram for referals as far as i know

    @tridinebandim said: @AsadHaider they dont offer extra ram for referals as far as i know

    Really? I emailed their support about it, Nick mentioned it in his post that you get 64MB RAM for each person you refer. I guess it's only referrals who sign up to a paid plan, you get paid out.

    @liam said: what if you don't have facebook?

    This is what I was wondering.

    I deleted my Facebook a while back. =[

  • DamianDamian Member

    I tried signing up for Chunkhost quite awhile ago, during their 'beta'. They said the beta was coming to an end, and I would need to pay to continue using my 'chunk'.

    I didn't pay, so the 'chunk' was cancelled. I noticed they were still having 'beta' months later.

    These kind of things are what make me seriously consider to not ever do any kind of business with them.
