Wait what?! That's stupid...
I think they mean you can't use it as a file dump. A web server would be one use case.
I also have applied for a free VPS from Host1Free (actually they are from Host1Plus, the premium service daughter company of Host1Free) and I got one. It was activated quite late and after I got it it was down for more than 1 1/2 days. Actually the whole NODE2 and other nodes were down at that time for days.
A detailed review about it on FreeVPS.us: http://freevps.us/thread-4855.html
It is something, but still "oversold crap". I have the feeling they built a dedicated server with Intel Xeon or Intel Core i7 CPU and put so much users on it that it dies after a few days of usage and needs to be rebooted.
I would not use the VPS for anything serious, just use it for a VPN or something you can afford to lose when their stuff goes down once again...
They clock the CPUs to 266MHz on NODE2 per VPS, on this clock even 2 cores are useless. Geekbench took very long for me and Byte Unixbench was a hell so I stopped it (btw the VPS crashed during Byte UnixBench...).
In the UK, It's £9000/year for the University Fees.
You then need to add the living expenses - Accommodation, food, and booze.
Presuming you stay at home and live off pot noodles, you the minimum you're looking at for Uni is about £12,000/year.
Needless to say, foreign universities have started to look a lot, lot more attractive >_>
Wow thats much, but what are the extra £3,000 for? I just did a quick check and my anual spending (for everything) is around 8,000€. But still many people go study in other countries/cities where its even cheaper
Do many unis in continental Europe offer subjects in English?
Why did you have to bring up this subject? It's still a sore spot for me -.-
Basically because I live about a mile outside Austin city limits (in a suburb), I pay $2500/semester for community college, instead of something like $750/semester. Plus a few hundred worth of books, etc, of course.
I derped (please delete)
Mine was just setup, it seems that it's in Germany. I'm on node2.
Hetzner?
No, not Hetzner.

Lol
Node 4 Germany for me too. Mine won't even boot... (Just took a while)
We get a LOT of CPU though :P
Mine's just been deployed. Also on node2. Will be fun to see how this performs... :-P
Free education for the win! Hooray!
Mine got deployed, just 10 hours aprox.
Couldn't pass captcha after trying 10~ times, cba anymore. The performance is not worth another try.
All nodes are in Germany in Frankfurt am Main (GHOSTNET GmbH).

Mine has been booting for like 20 minutes and still going.
My free VPS at Amanah is a lot better then this one, hell it's better then my paid 123Systems box.
Amanah said my order was a fraud although I provided my real and vaild information
I was waiting the call/sms/whatever to confirm my registration. It never arrived.

...Seriously? My home net is over 2x that...
I am currently uploading at 60-65mbps to my Vienna server from home..
However the VPS is quite useless. Really, really poor IO.
They removed it because of the large flood of orders, you had to submit a ticket
Well, I can't remember if "guest" users were able to submit tickets.
Lol i guess they just throw everyone on a few boxes and don't worry about performance.
Too slow to even operate (i.e. actually ssh in) for me and I can't find how to cancel so it's just sitting there.
@FieldMoose yea that's a delima...how do they know if a free user isn't using their services anymore if they don't put in a cancellation request (why would one put in a cancellation request anyway)
@corey I'm not gonna use the thing better it already goes back to the already crowded pool; and better i don't keep getting follow up emails 12 months from now about every fscking outage they have.
