Thank You!
Good morning, Guys!
On the FreeVPS Team's virtual office's conference room table, October 28, 2023:
Update OP To Include New Node Sponsors
-- How? Too many Sponsors to fit into thread title!
New Team Members
-- Welcome them, help them integrate, make jokes.
HostEONS Website
-- Create FreeVPS account as requested by HostEONS
Install Virtfusion And Test New Nodes
-- Internetport
-- HostEONS
-- Microtronix
-- Hosteroid (status? does FreeVPS have this yet?)
GTHost PHX
-- Does anybody mind if I try @tang_cn's libvirt tutorial on this node? @GTHost said it was okay to try. Trying the @tang_cn style libvirt means installing Virtfusion might have to wait awhile for this Node. If I can get libvirt working, maybe FreeVPS could give away a few bigger VPSes with static IPv4s?
FreeVPS Birthday Giveaway
-- Finish provisioning winners
-- anything else?
Incorporation / Registration
-- $20 donation "Beer Money for @Not_Oles" received from Anonymous Benefactor
-- Status $160 - ($40 + $16 + $20 + $7) = $77 to go (Including Beer Money)
What Else?

Hi Guys!
Just added a listing of Node locations and Looking Glass links to the OP.
Special thanks to @FrankZ for the markdown code which was added!
Best!
Tom
Done. Account deleted as requested.
Thanks! @TheOnlyDK @Not_Oles
Hi Everyone!
Added @babywhale to FreeVPS Team! Welcome @babywhale!
Now FreeVPS needs to onboard the three recently added team members, finish installing five (is it really five?) new Nodes plus PHX (PHX has new disks and new Debian 12), and announce the winners of the uptime contest. Maybe (just maybe) PHX might offer about two or three larger VPSes, each with its own static IPv4 and IPv6.
Overall, things have been a bit slow. All volunteers on the Team. Family issues, illness, exams, etc. Life happens.
Hope you all are enjoying your free VPSes! Does anybody else want a FreeVPS?
Thanks to all our FreeVPS Sponsors, users Neighbors, and Team Members!
Tom
Heard a rumor about a possible new Node in S i n g a p o r e. Maybe this actually could happen!? Woohoo!
I'm happy to come aboard

This is a great thread. I admire each and every one of them. Because it represents a great potential for abuse.
I'm hoping to get a free nat kvm for the western U.S.
thanks for everyone
I don't meet the Requirements
Hi @haolun!
Thanks for your request! I took a quick look, and it seems to me that you meet the requirements. So I apologize that your FreeVPS hasn't yet been provisioned.
The FreeVPS Team has been behind due to significant life issues. FreeVPS recently added three great, new guys to the Team, but their onboarding has been scheduled and cancelled twice due to someone being sick.
Eventually, your VPS will be provisioned. Thank you for your patience!
Best!
Tom
Hi!
Glad to see you here! Please post more! Ask questions. Help others. It won't be long until you do meet the requirements!
Best!
Tom
FWIW, I have had discussions about additional FreeVPS Nodes in India and in Singapore. The machine anticipated to become the FreeVPS India Node has been installed with Debian, and it's now being tested. SG is maybe still just an idea in the mind of the Sponsor, but he is a good guy. We will see what happens. Might take awhile!
Deployed in US WEST (Crunchbits - Liberty Lake, WA)
how's everyone doing?
Just doing it you know
All good here!
Hello Everyone!
Were excited to announce new Locations!
Bucharest, Romania and Salt Lake City, UT-USA are now available!
*Only NAT ipv4 is available right now with 20x forwarded ports but IPv6 will be coming shortly!
Thank you for the generous donations from @Hosteroid ( Bucharest, Romania ) and @HostEONS ( Salt Lake City, UT-USA )
Thank you @Hosteroid & @HostEONS!
Nice project

Service has been deployed, have fun.
Good morning, guys! FreeVPS is delighted to announce that its long search for a Project Leader finally succeeded! Eric @crunchbits generously has stepped forward to take leadership!
For quite some time it has been my opinion that the long term future of FreeVPS would benefit greatly from leadership better able to accomplish overall, high-level structural organization, corporate registration, and possibly even non-profit status. Moreover I keep wanting to invest my time toward additional goals.
Nevertheless, there was no one who was willing to take over FreeVPS! Finally, back in February, I tried leaving the Project Leader position open. That didn't work. By March 21 there had been ten or eleven days without a post on the FreeVPS thread. So I had to come back.
On October 21 I was able to raise only about half of the $160 that I requested to incorporate FreeVPS. Not incorporatiing FreeVPS closes the door to tax-exempt donations. Moreover, all the server Sponsors quite reasonably want a name on their sponsored server accounts as the party responsible. With incorporation, the corporation can be the responsible party. Without incorporation, one or another of the individuals on the FreeVPS Team has to hold personal responsibility for sponsored servers. That isn't fair!
Right now, behind the scenes, FreeVPS is being approached by still more server Sponsors. India, Singapore, and Africa are being considered! The FreeVPS Team recently has doubled! FreeVPS is above 80 clients, well on its way to reaching 100!
Already, Eric has suggested an agenda for further progress, upgraded the FreeVPS Team's internal chat, and has mapped the steps leading toward incorporation. I ask everyone to be kind to Eric. He is more than just a Provider. He is one of us here at our beautiful Low End! The FreeVPS Team members and I have talked with Eric every day for months and months. Please appreciate the amount of work and expense Eric has taken on by assuming leadership of FreeVPS after nobody else stepped up to benefit the community. FreeVPS has shown many signs of future success, and Eric has shown many signs of capable leadership. Both groups of signs give me hope and confidence that FreeVPS has a good chance for a great future!
As I said back in February, I still want to study some more C! So I might be around less often.
Special thanks to @GTHost for sponsoring the server on which FreeVPS got started! And then for sponsoring a second server! Special thanks to @jbiloh for providing Low End Talk!
Thanks so much to all the FreeVPS Server Sponsors! So many of you now! Thanks so much to the Sponsors of our administrative and billing sites, software, and consulting. To the FreeVPS Team, what can I say? I love you all! To the guys in the Community, our FreeVPS Clients, I love you too!
