Thank You to the Community: Offering Resources for Starter Websites
Hi all,
I have a 2023 Black Friday Crunchy VPS with 4.5GB RAM and 3 CPU fair share. I am offering resources for anyone interested in building a personal site using either WordPress or Ghost CMS. Priority of limited plans will be given to open source projects, community projects, or nonprofits.
What you can choose between:
* WordPress: A versatile and user-friendly platform perfect for beginners and experienced users alike. WordPress offers a plethora of themes and plugins to customize your site according to your needs, whether you're starting a blog, building a portfolio, or creating an online presence for your business.
* Ghost CMS: An efficient and modern platform focused on professional publishing. Ghost stands out with its integration with Mailgun for seamless newsletter distribution and robust out-of-the-box features for subscription management. This makes it an excellent choice for content-heavy sites and those looking to build a strong subscriber base.
Resource Allocation to be provided:
* WordPress: 1 CPU (fair share), 750MB RAM
* Ghost: 1 CPU (fair share), 1000MB RAM
* Storage Limit: 5GB with a 20MB file size limit
* Transfer Limit: 100GB per month, 10GB daily limit
Hosting & Management:
The containers will be hosted and managed using a free license of EasyPanel. Hosting will be provided for a one-year term only, giving you the opportunity to host your site, learn, build, grow, and eventually migrate to a bigger host when ready. All you receive is an admin login for your website (Wordpress or Ghost), nothing else.
Important Notes:
* WooCommerce is strictly prohibited.
* File download and high bandwidth / transfer sites are prohibited.
* Using this service to redirect traffic is prohibited.
* Sales are not allowed to be processed on the server; nonprofits, for example, may direct to PayPal for donations or a store hosted elsewhere.
* Mailing is strictly prohibited, use a paid service or another server.
* Security: Guaranteed by EasyPanel product, free open-source version (no insurance provided). I've spoken to the owner, and he is very smart and maintains the platform well.
* No support will be provided.
* No service level agreement. Free is free with nothing attached, no guarantees.
* No future migration support will be provided; however, many free tools, forums, and hosts are available that will do this for you for free.
* Fair share usage is subject to CrunchBits' fair share rules. You will be accepting all terms from Crunchbits by applying for this offer, and they may be changed at any time.

Awards:
Only 3 awards will be provided to avoid any abuse of the server resources. Both WordPress and Ghost CMS users will receive a fair share of max 1 CPU. To request consideration, please fill the form linked below. Business and identity verification for security purposes may be required for nonprofit and personal requests. Community and open source projects can reference their public communities for evaluation and consideration.

Thanks for doing this, but take care regarding abuse. There's been so many times I was thinking "why not sponsor the community a lifetime zap vps" for shared hosting, or even get a lifetime dedi as a joint effort. However, abuse and the person officially handling things having their life fked up by it always held me back. Good luck!
