By selecting Agree, you agree that you will not abuse nor use this for mailing or spamming. Any abuse will result in immediate terminate with NO Refund. IP you get maybe listed with like barracuda so you cannot use it for mailing.

Seriously? No mailing at all? Then this is "no go" for me, because I wanted to use it as backup MX for my domain...

Their network is really good.

I bought their $2.99/year for 128MB RAM and free reinstall.

I see $3.99 for 128MB, do you mind sharing the one you bought? Was holding back because of the reinstall policy, this seems perfect.

Just bought 2, 64mb and 128mb both on pccw. This is a great deals

Can't resists, jumped on the boat. Happy so far.

Got the PCCW package for better Asian connection, 3 years $7.49 (128M RAM).

For some reason CPU info is not visible, maybe nested virtualization?

Does it yield the same results when run manually?

Someone more knowledgeable than me about nested virtualization will probably correct me but I believe it's nested in a Xen container.

Mine look okay.

budi1413 said: Mine look okay.

Might be on different nodes or even different containers and they stuffed up the permissions. Knowing OpenVZ though he'll probably restart the container, it'll fix itself and I'll be completely wrong.

david_W

hmm.. Mine didn't come back after a reboot attempt... Something is wrong..

Time to see if they have support..

It would be nice if there was a plan with more middle ground disk space-wise in between their 5GB SATA/64MB $2/yr "no free reinstalls" plan and their 1GB SSD/128MB $4/yr "reinstalls allowed" plan. I'm definitely not a linux expert, but I do know that I've run out of space on locally-hosted linux VMs when trying to apt-get upgrade if I make the HDD only 1GB. (Yes, I do understand most of the cost is going towards the IPv4).

Stilling showing the empty CPU model after reboot.

Support got back to me this morning and confirmed that's normal and they are not running nested virturlization.

Hello, Sentris whats up with this?

Awesome offer, just bought one.
If anyone can help me on setup a VPN on it that would be great, would pay 1$ bitcoin if you can do it, PM me if you're interested.

Rami said: And for pptp server check this

I find a bit uneasy about the lack of a warning telling how insecure PPTP is. There aren't many good justifications for using PPTP over something like L2TP+IPSec for example.

I was just offering another option but I always prefer OpenVPN but a lot of people still using PPTP

And I like your script and use it

Perhaps they meant to say this is normal for nested virtualization because it is not a normal behavior for OpenVZ on baremetal server.

Sometimes better not to have too high expectation

What's the DosDrive thing? They're offering 50 GiBs for free with it.

Free 50GB Space access from Web, Android or iOS app, or file sharing.
