Free VPS for Two Years (OK, there's a catch)

I noticed nephoscale.com today, which will give you a virtual server which is very much like Amazon AWS's free tier, except it looks like it's a little more generous with bandwidth.

So, year one: Amazon AWS Free Tier, then you rsync to...
Year two: nephoscale.com free

After that, well, it's late 2013 and some other provider will come along :-)

Only downside is that both of these are pretty small plans. 10GB for disk, which is a little small to use for backup. 15GB bandwidth with AWS and 50GB with nephoscale.

    Can you provide a link to the offer?

    I can only find one with these details:

    NephoScale’s Free Cloud Computing and Storage Starter Package provides users with:

750 hours per month usage of a cloud server with .25GB RAM and 10GB persistent storage
10GB of inbound Internet transfer to the starter cloud server instance per month
10GB of outbound Internet transfer from the starter cloud server instance per month
1GB data store in the NephoScale object-based cloud storage service
10,000 GET requests in object-base cloud storage per month
1,000 PUT requests in object-based cloud storage per month
1GB of inbound Internet transfer to object-based cloud storage per month
1GB of outbound Internet transfer from object-based cloud storage per month
CentOS 5.5 64-bit (base image) and Ubuntu Server 10.04 64-bit (base image) operating systems are available for use on the free cloud server.

    They also need cc details, they also charge you $1 to youre card

  • drmikedrmike Member

    The buck you probably get back in a day or two.

  • IxapeIxape Member

    DanielM it will only be a pending charge, they'll drop it after a few days/a week.

  • kristalkristal Banned

    so is this good or what

  • drmikedrmike Member

    Well if you need a very cheap web space, it'll work. It's only got a gig of transfer or what other folks call bandwidth. That'll be an issue for many.

    They reserved only 0.01$ not 1$... Unfortunate I need to call them, because I didn't receive call back.
    I sound like this ... grrr, I hate speaking in english.

    Much better than a Texas accent. Spanish and Italian English accents are the most understandable ones, excluding the native British English of course.

    That happens when they use archaic vocabulary. I was talking about accent.

    Most native US English speakers talk like if they had his mouth full, because they don't pronounce.

    heh, not outstanding but not bad. Doesn't do a whole lot for me.

    That's because out mouths are full as we're the fattest country around and always eating. Last time I called my bank, the call center person (US by the way) was munching on popcorn. I know because I asked and we chatted for a bit as to what we like on our popcorn.

    I need to be fair and update this, speeds with Europe are amazing considering others. I just love Level 3 network...
    Sometimes I am getting nesty speed results, but most of the time it's amazing.
