Low End Dedicated Server Share, Vint Hill, Virginia, USA

Not_OlesNot_Oles Provider
in Services and Other

Friendly greetings!

MetalVPS now has a new Low End dedicated server, an OVH SYS-LE-1.

From shell accounts on this server, we can

  • work directly on the bare metal,
  • make our own KVM VPSes with almost any operating system, and
  • make several kinds of containers.

Of course, we also can directly see how well the server node is performing.

Last, but not least, we can enjoy fun conversations right here in this thread!

Let's try!

Best wishes!

Tom

    Pretty cool! My friends and I do this in a way. We have one large storage server and we each have our own user and allocated space. The server is paid quarterly and we split the bill accordingly.

    @frodothebearer Thanks for your kind words! Best wishes to you and your friends and your shared server! :)

    Sounds good!

    Sure!

    • What's inside the Docker container?

    • What server resources do you expect to use?

    • How much do you want to pay?

    Best wishes! Thanks again!
