1. Are OP prices current? The BTC/USD price has shot up lately.
2. Can ports be forwarded? I'd like to host a game server.
3. Can it run Debian/Ubuntu? The game runs under Wine on
4. PM me please

I PM'ed you a while back, and you've responded, but I am wanting to update the thread..

Prices have been Halved as of today, if USD-BTC rates stay up, they will stay at this rate.

If you every decide to offer windows in the future let me know (PM) I'll gladly buy.

Keep your eyes out for a new service called VPS Squared, in a few years. Probably make an official company, Dedicated IPs, Control panels, and all that good stuff. Either way, I will start up a VPS service again. Maybe even offer Co-Location...I like the idea of it, but I like having the server near by, So I'll be likely hosting my own network, so why not offer Co-Location to others that wont charge 100+/h for technician hands..

Will I still get that 10% off for that 5 BTC loan/donation a while ago?

I don't see why not =)

I may just be blind, but where are the servers hosted?

Also-- Do you plan on adding more operating systems any time? I'm interested in a windows VPS and VPS with debian 6 on it.

Got the ports working again, If this happens again, It will likely change the ip again.. the whole house is losing power... Only solution would be an UPS.. or a new location.. We'll see

IP: 50.39.237.67

Server went down for a second (3-4* hours before I was home and noticed), Should all be functioning again. Power outage for a split second.. I need to make an auto restart script if this continues..

New IP: 50.39.236.99

Edit(*): seems like it was only 1h 20m or so..

Anyway, If anyone ever wants a low bandwidth service, I might be able to work something out.. I need to figure out how to use the CPU power of this beast in the mean time XD

Edit:
May also have a Plan that uses a shared IP, for a lower rate, I know the shared IP was fine for some clients, so why make people pay more Cheesy

Server Moved, Everything should be functioning at the least.

IP: 50.39.237.109
Ports: The same given to you before

Bandwidth: 1mbit/ 0.4mbit (May increase someday)

If the VPS' stop being rented, I will put a hold on this service and start it up one day in a year or two...or 4.. with a set of dedicated IPs, and loads more bling, and as always, the same loyalty and honesty. Thank you for the run regardless!

Is everything ok in your end?

With the server? Yea.

Life in general...we know its a bitch. Grin

At 5PM (PDT / About 1 hour from post) I will begin moving the server, I should have them running again sometime tonight.

I'll Post the new IP when they are all functioning. The network they are on is a DSL 1Mbit Down, and the Up needs to be tested. I'll do that when I am setting the network up. This is servearly under-par than the last one, If you need a faster connection, I really can't help you right now. Cry

If this network will work for you, you are welcome to keep the VPS, I will likely drop the rate due to the network change and the increase in BTC price. In other words, WAIT to pay the next month and contact me.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Next month's payments are due on the 7th again, thank you again for the pleasure of hosting your servers.

A few changes will be happening after this month. I should be moving to a new place, the issue is that this new place doesn't have good internet. If internet speed(quality should be close to same) wont be a major issue I will happily keep hosting. If everyone drops off I'll still accept new clients.

So there's no confusion, the server move will happen between the 29th and 31st, as long as i can leave the server up I will. Please note, the IP will be changing.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sorry for being absent quite a bit. There's been a lot of things going on in my personal life. My wife's grandpa had a major stroke that they couldn't stop because of a shot he had that day.. So hes really disabled (hopefully) for the time being. So i simply haven't been home much at all.

Anyway, before its too late...

Payments are due on the 7th, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to pm or email me. Thank you for the great support though everything guys!

I'm quite interested in this, although I'm currently looking for a Windows VPS.

May I ask why your business (or most that I've seen) runs Ubuntu instead of Windows? Is it because Ubuntu is a free OS? If so, couldn't you simply purchase a Windows 7 business license?

As far as I know, it's not exclusive to just the OS' provided - a custom one can be installed upon request. It's just that the provided ones are much quicker to install =P

As to Windows VPS', I think one of the other customers has one as well, so I assume that mrgasp would be willing to install another one to fit your needs.

Be sure to, when you visit to IRC, just ask your questions, and stay tuned for a reply (better way would be to provide contact information, however). MrGaSp would most likely see it within a few hours, or else I or Diab1o could pass it on.

Sorry I missed you on IRC, I was out for a while.

The server doesn't have the video rendering capacity to host many Windows Operating systems. The one i have hosted has had many many strange issues, random lock ups, services not starting, etc, the client is happy with that though.. So i run it.

I could perchance a license, but i simply do not have the money for it. VPS Squared runs one server, and about 5 VPSs as of now, there's not much activity. I do it mostly for the fun, while paying for power and possible upgrades and what not.

Windows requires, generally, Remote Desktop, thus needing a UI, and then needing the server to render the video, sure one screen wont take long, but several adds to the cost. I've learned that running a VPS with a video card, reduces the speed drastically, most of the cycles are spent on rendering and what not..

The one VPS that runs windows server 2008, pays more than a comparable linux.

Clarify on bravetheheat's message, yes it is faster to use preloaded operating systems, just as fast as a copy of a 2GB file. I will install most other linux operating systems without hesitation though. Just give me some extra lead time, installing one takes a bit, getting faster at it after deciding to do it completely in RAM.
