In my mind that is a good thing. It should weed out the truly LAZY abusers haha. There is another benefit to doing it the way we have done it. You can imagine that a lot of free hosting services remain unused and dormant for long periods of time, consuming resources for no good reason. With us, if the Carrots are not claimed every month, and the service is not 'paid' for, then our system will know that the VPS is not in use and will proceed to automatically close it down.
@Chuck, glad to be of help. Hope you enjoy the VPS.
I can't access my VPS
@Strikerr. Sorry about that. We are back online now.
Hi @randvegeta, how can we add / update the rDNS / PTR? It is blank for my IP.
Just open a ticket. Its free for paid vps plans or $5 for free vps.

Perhaps you could run your test again :-). Small config error on the network and it should be much faster now.
Just to let people know. Only 3 free VPS left on existing nodes. Next nodes will be deployed tomorrow.
network looks better now: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2015/07/10/cWhnWc4OBByUAFL7
other question: what happens if i dont "pay" the bill in time (for example when i´m on vacation for two weeks)?
And is there a way to change the keyboard layout on the console?
@brendy2001
If the bill is not paid on time, the VPS will be suspended and then it will eventually be terminated. You need to make sure you claim your Carrots and pay the bill before that happens. Near carrots are available from the 1st of each month.
I don't think it's possible to change the keyboard layout from the console, but it may just be and OS config setting. You may be able to change it from within the VM somewhere.
Lithuania location with Hong Kong IP, nice
Hong Kong based company :-). We had a spare range or two so decided to use them :-)
can i install windows server in VPSbit?
@runfaster If you are talking about free service, you can provide own ISO and they will mount it for $5. It's good deal.
@runfaster, Yes. But to run Windows we advice you to have atleast 2GB RAM. We have the ISO uploaded and you can install it yourself. If you want us to install it for you, it will cost you $5 one time.
Also, it won't be licensed copy, you will have to get it licensed yourself.
If you have any more queries, contact me or @randvegeta
We are here to serve you.
Windows server needs more than 512MB RAM. Windows XP does not. If you want to run XP on the free VPS then we can attach your ISO for $5 but you install yourself.
I would recommend Windows 2003 Server instead XP.
Ah yes, Win2k3 will run fine on 512mb Ram
Seems nice - trying it out.
Hi,
When will it be in stock again?
Thanks in advance
Is anyone there?
Announcement
We have restocked and only 60 VMs are available on this node. Hurry up while the stocks last!
Any hint as to the precise location (datacenter) of these servers? Far from Vilnius?
Hi @Shot2,
Sorry for the late reply. The location is Kaunas. 100km from Vilnius. Are you in LT?
Thx for the reply!
but always interested in knowing the datacenter / peering / geoloc of any server...
Nope
