I wish I had of realised how good that deal was at the time.
Just want to say congrats & enjoy your servers
Have fun when inevitably the police come and smash down your door.
At very cheap price... I don't really think so, considering the implications that come with it... alongside the fact that you claim to be good enough for SMEs, it's pretty scary if they trust a one-man show running stuff at home.
Just want to share with you guys the lowest performance server: http://pastebin.com/SKzDcCeA
@MichaelBui how much would you charge for that server in the United States Dollar a month?
This better be for pennies per month considering it's a homelab and dynamic IP NAT...
Why do you say that? It's decent hardware and network speed. Dynamic DNS is no big deal.
@ethancedrik That server is $19.95/m if no contract, $15.95/m if contract 6mths.
@Cyph3r You can't find that price for a dedicated server with 4GB RAM & 64GB SSD & unlimited shared 1GBbps, especially for a server in Singapore.
@willie Thanks
@MichaelBui This has now turning into an offer thread. While I'm happy to see you've pulled this off please apply for a provider tag if you wish to make an offer to the members here.
Don't get me wrong! I'm just comparing the cost with other offers on the market. I'm not considering as a provider because there are lots of things missing to reach that level.
Back to the origin, I'm a software engineer and I'm building a network to study scalable web apps. Then I realized there may be people looking for the same things for me so I share this opportunity with the others.
Just a friendly reminder
Seriously though, it's not tough to get a company registration done for this business you're trying to run, unless you're underage... prove me wrong!
Pretty sure I can get one of my associates to register a company for me for this in no time, and house the server inside our office, connected to a proper business internet line, which obviously comes with a proper SLA and dedicated IPs.
...and that would be better than what you're trying to run here.
Sounds like a plan, but I won't do it. pfft.
I got married and have a 2yo daughter so I'm surely not underage
And like what I said above, I'm a software engineer & leaning about horizontal scalable architecture. I'm unable to run the business so I don't want to register a company (even I'm eligible to do so)
It's really better to have a company registered, pretty hard to get anyone to trust you without a company backing it... even a local like me
Good luck on this, though!
flies off
This is sounding more and more unfeasible by the day, but I'm interested to know what kind of hardware/setup you're running with this (what's the NAT gateway, what ISP is this on), etc.
One more thing - please do remember IRAS, they definitely want a cut regardless.
Contract?
Would you mind showing us an empty copy of the contract template?
@Janevski By saying "contract" I mean the commitment from the person.
@eLohkCalb Thanks for reminding me
@Boltersdriveer I just open certain ports for certain servers inside my LAN. For ISP, I'm running M1 Fibre Broadband @1Gbps.
Alright.
From MobileOne's Terms of Service:
Knew someone sooner or later will try to do something like that with their residential internet plans. As @Bolstersdriveer has pointed out, what you're doing is breaking the ToS you signed with M1.
Do you allow tor exit nodes?
@thharris: If you are not abusing and not running any fraud/scam activities then it's fine
@Boltersdriveer All telecom companies has those terms but people does run HTTP/FTP services from there home. I think as long as we are not abusing the network or running any unlawful activities, they don't really care.
The fact is: You are knowingly selling services off a residential Internet connection - which M1 has disallowed - and yet you decide to continue doing this.
And there you go folks, unless you're looking for 'Singapore home IP server' type services, you're signing up with someone who does not abide by their service provider's AUP. I don't think I need to say more.
Yes, you are totally right and that's the reason I only recommend these servers for development & study/research purposes
Still not allowed unless you are providing free services off of it.
@Boltersdriveer According to term (c), even I provide server for free, it's still NOT allowed.
Correct. However, if you have their Static IP service, private non-commercial use is allowed.
