Free 4GB VPS from Incero

edited March 2013 in General

@Fliphost posted a thread about this, but didn't mention that you could literally deploy a 4GB VPS with 100GB disk and 4 cores of E5 goodness within seconds of signing up for an account: http://portal2.incero.com/cloud-register

Combine this with https://receiveee.com and it's pretty damn easy to abuse the service....

    Yikes, yeah. Not really clever, took me ~20 seconds to get an instance, literally.

    Abuse heaven.

  • Try abusing and see what happens then.

  • RobertClarkeRobertClarke Member, Host Rep

    @Infinity it even logs you into the account automatically after signing up for an account.

  • What? Instantly deployed. lol

    Was going to say that but meh..

    Abusers will love this thread.

  • RobertClarkeRobertClarke Member, Host Rep

    @DStrout @Infinity I made the thread, not doing the abusing myself...

  • netomxnetomx Moderator, Veteran

    and why it is free?

  • RobertClarkeRobertClarke Member, Host Rep

    @netomx Probably because they're testing stuff.

    Interestingly:

                 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

    0 memory used on an Ubuntu instance.

    And Gordon will kill the whole test because of them. He's a bit like me in that, I've got a hole in my wall for each time someone abused my services.

  • Its not real cloud setup though, false advertising. Doesnt even have a SAN!

    I get this too:

                 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
    Mem:           256         21        234          0          0         21

    Do you know for sure what the setup is? You can pretty much host this on CentOS in a ESX cluster using a SAN datastore. This would technically work and be redundant.

    Being able to provision your own OpenVZ containers is pretty neat in itself.

    Alright, next time I want to break into your house I'll abuse your services multiple times. :P

    @RobertClarke said: @DStrout @Infinity I made the thread, not doing the abusing myself...

    I know that, but abusers will definately be looking out for opportunities like this, yes, even on LowEndTalk, and especially since LowEndTalk has a great Google index, it'll easily get in the abusers view. Either way, it doesn't matter now. ;)

    I you look at the IOping it is always .1ms, which is basically impossible on SAN. And the disk IO is too fast for SAN :(

    Just remember I don't fight fair :P

    nevermind

    Now I'm going to have to try this! But I'm sure you're 100% right.

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    Now you guys know darn well that "cloud" actually means remote desktop and file sharing, all of which can be done on this!

    My daily poke at Microsoft. Was beginning to wonder where I'd get one in.

  • This is what I'm getting for ioping on Debian632minimal on Debian64-2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 in ESXi with a SAN.

    Odd this is what I was getting http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/03/11/rFr9U99aZDquyo0h

  • The point being that this isn't a SAN.
