[Free] your NAT LXC VPS :>

Hi there, this time I already got permission from Jon.

๐ŸŽ FREE NAT LXC VPS Giveaway โ€” up to 30 Available

Hey everyone! I've been approved to run a giveaway for the next 7 days, and I'm offering up to 30 free LXC VMs. This is a non-commercial project I run for LXC testing and education, and I'd love to get these into the hands of people who'll actually use them.

Specs (per VM):

๐Ÿง  256 MB RAM
โš™๏ธ 1 vCPU
๐Ÿ’พ 5 GB SSD
๐ŸŒ 20 Mbps unmetered
๐Ÿ”€ NAT/shared IPv4
โŒ No IPv6
๐Ÿ“ Location: US, Durham

The important details:
Up to 30 VMs available โ€” first come, first served
Manual activation โ€” please allow up to 24 hours for your VM to be set up
This is a non-commercial project used for LXC testing/education
No paid upgrades and no commercial services are associated with this โ€” it's 100% free, as-is
Servers are located in Durham, US

Who gets priority?
To keep things fair and reward the community, registration prioritises existing LET (LowEndTalk) users first. If you're an active LET member, add as server hostname same as LET username when you sign up โ€” that'll speed things along. Everyone else is still welcome to register, but LET members get first pick while spots last.

How to grab one:
Access this link and register yourself. It is completely anonymous.

I'll confirm and activate in batches over the next few hours. Once the 30 are gone or the 7 days are up, that's it โ€” so don't sleep on it!

Please note: These are NAT/shared IPv4 only, no IPv6, located in Durham, US, and resources are limited โ€” perfect for lightweight testing and learning, not production workloads.

Notes: Please do not spamming in this thread and asking when your account will activated.

  • marlmarl Member

    i still didn't get mine, i think i registered 5 mins after this was posted. but i didn't do/read this:

    If you're an active LET member, add as server hostname same as LET username when you sign up..

    :D

    It doesn't matter if you put something else. Login again with token you got it must be active. You wouldn't get a notification for it.

  • Mine is still pending, VM name "codeplace".

  • Sorry, I didn't notice "username as server name" at first, so I applied for one using my username.

    Please cancel the application for "lxc-n1". Thank you, and sorry for the trouble.

  • Registered same username on LET.

  • I have applied for the server name using my username. If the request can be approved, please help me activate it. Thank you very much.
