    Red face Free VPS

    Maybe having a Free VPS plan with very very minimal specs

    Like...

    Ram: 128mb

    Storage space: 5GB

    Transfer : 7GB

    No auto backups
    Just the free control panel
    Choice of only 1 OS

    Or is this a little too much? I mean it would be pretty cool as it would be the only free vps around?
    Sorry if im dumb

    Won't happen. Free VPS's aren't like Free Hosting - for hosting you can fit thousands of accounts on one server without much of a problem. For VPS's, you can't - you pretty much would have a system with about 4mb ram, 250mb storage (if that), transfer would be fine, but you'd also have such a limited cpu it'd take the OS an hour to boot.

    That's the real problem; a VPS is essentially a virtual machine running as a separate instance on the server. You can't fit nearly as many onto the server without crippling all the VPS's.

    Re: Free VPS

    Also there is the fact that each VPS needs its own IP address...
    So yeah, I afraid it's not going to happen :-P

    Denied. :P Yeah, as they said, it would require way too much resources. You'd have better luck pushing for free shell accounts. ;)

    Ooh, free shell accounts. Now there's an idea. Perhaps an x10Reward for a couple thousand credits?

    I don't think so, having root on the free server could be a bad thing. It open the doors to hackers......

    who ever said root, jailshell with access to cd, ls, php, and a shell script which runs rm -rf /* as root

    cPanel can provide shell access that completely jails users to their home directory.

    Also, I see what you did there, supermatthew.

    Re: Free VPS

    This would be really nice, But it would make x10hosting services very ****ty, Sorry to use such a word but its true the sites would run really slow and it would cost x10 a lot of money to do this.
