Zappie Host "free" vps for sale
2 months ago I won a free VPS with Zappie hosting (http://zappiehost.com)
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/80123/zappie-host-new-location-free-give-away-competition/p1
The TOS was recently changed and is now disallowing me from hosting my game server here.
Looking for someone who wants it.
It is the Medium VPS in any of their locations.
Time remaining on the free period: 9 months
Specs:
1GB ram
2 CPU Cores
50 GB HDD
200GB/month (NZ) or 400 GB/month (ZA) or 600 GB/month (India)
100mbit/s
This would normally set you back $63 ( $7 x 9), looking for offers. Can go cheaply.

$1
$5*
$7
Sure they'll let you transfer a freebie?
Nop $9 USD
$10
$11, or 5million Zimbabwe dolla, whichever is the most.
(you know I'm kidding rn right)
You win. I don't think 5m Zimbabwe dollars worth a lot., at least not this generation.
I'm trolling. $11 still, though (though $10.50 would be nice too). 5m Zimbabwe seems to be quite little... provided:
From the ticket I sent about it:
Heh, no need to buy one of these since I also won the server jellybean contest
You can win it, I guess?
So the point is?
You guys are too damn cheap, bid some higher (fun fact: that 5 million zimbabwe dollars is approx 12k euros)
Then again, it's a freebie i got and have no use for anymore, so it'll go to the highest bidder on monday, 27th june at 23:59 local time (GMT+2) (about 51 hours remaining)
So far, @theroyalstudent is in the lead with $11.
Got a request for test ips, so here's the official LGs for Zappie:

Well, they change their currency once every few months but the name is still the same. It may worth some money today, a month later it would be back to $5usd again.
£1 it's worth about the same atm
I just read up about the Zimbabwe dollar on wikipedia, seems it's been demonetized entirely.
Anyway, bids are at $11 (us dollars)
I'm only buying because I can probably resell this to clients at half the value + get paid extra for admin work. Indian location is perfect.
@teamacc, can you provide me with benchmark for this VPS? UNIXBench and FreeVPS. Client is interested to move over from DO India, since I'm offering this + free sysadmin service for cheap. A little uncertain on performance, but otherwise we're ready to go!
Just spotted this thread. I have an upcoming project that could use the low latency to the target audience in India.
So, 12USD or 4340 Zimbabwean Dollars in case this auction is still open.
$13
Just sent a ticket to the host to unsuspend the vps so i can run the benchmark. Will update the topic when done.
$15
16.50 USD / 5,971.35 ZWD
Haha, 18 USD / 6514.2 ZWD
But yeah, some benchmarks would be nice!
20USD / 7,238.00 ZWD
my final. @K4Y5 if you can beat this, then it's okay, i don't have much cash to spare right now (zzz paypal balance on the way back to my bank account)
@theroyalstudent I'll wait for the benchmarks before I post another bid. Until then, you're in the lead.
you're making my profit margin shrink man :P
intended to resell this for $25, with free setup and sysadmin tasks... facepalm
guess who's gonna make $5 from sysadmin tasks.
Stahp! Else you're going to make me cry.
comtinue with the gifs thanks
offering sysadmin tasks because i want free money while gaining more knowledge lmao
