@FrankZ where did the previous thread and comments go?
Team push-ups!
we discussed this with an LES member and we added a note on this thread that This free offer is non-renewable and the VPS will be deleted at the end of the 45 days.
They were removed to avoid confusion. The offer was modified after discussion with the provider to comply with the rules for Free Offers and Stuff posted by providers without a provider tag. In effect this is a new free offer.
I already filled my details from last thread.
Please delete them. I don't need it anymore.
Team push-ups!
Please let me the know name you mention and I will delete your information from the evaluation list.
I filled out the form and hope to experience it firsthand.
You have my details now. @dedicatedcore
https://microlxc.net/
Sure
Okay, thanks for registering.
Registered, curious how much this kind of specs you generally charge? Perhaps a LES exclusive deal?
Sorry, they can't post prices without a provider tag.
Which by the way @dedicatedcore we don't charge anything for the Hosting Provider tag. You just need to apply here
thanks, we received your application.
** by the way @dedicatedcore we don't charge anything for the Hosting Provider tag. You just need to apply here
Thanks, @FrankZ we will apply soon.
Thank you for your participation. We will begin evaluating users based on our rules and credibility. The deployment process will start soon.
I'm curious. What will you do with such server for 45 days? Other than idling.
Thank you for your question! During the 45-day period, you can fully utilize the VPS for various productive tasks such as:
Application Testing: Develop and test new applications or software in a controlled environment.
Backup Storage: Use it for secure data backups or file storage.
Development & Staging: Set up development or staging environments for web or software projects.
Performance Monitoring: Monitor and optimize system performance.
Lightweight Hosting: Host smaller websites, databases, or services that don't require heavy resources.
The server is yours to use as you see fit, and we’re excited to see how you’ll make the most of it!
!!Deployment Update!!
Congrats!!
@vyas @Fritz @fan @14569
We just verified the mentioned users and deployed the services.
and others are still in the verification steps so we will soon complete the evaluation step and deploy the rest of the servers.
It's dedicated core so you can run heavy compute tasks like video encoding or machine learning.
We accept Karma donations for the last flan. 🍮 affbrr
You have earned my data

Hello @Fritz Yes, we are using all these servers only for Giveaway purposes that's why it's showing a noncommercial license, also we want to ensure you have a control panel where you can able to use the server without getting any errors.
for bandwidth, if you need more please let me know I will ask the team to allocate more bandwidth to you.
Hope! you like the server configuration.

Dear Community Members,

Unfortunately, we were only able to verify 8 users for this offer. For those who have not yet completed the verification process, we have contacted 2 users via email to finalize their verification.
We are excited to announce that we have successfully delivered more 4 VPS servers to the following users:
@yucchun
@nathanielsilva
@astro
@Tomato
Congratulations once again to all the users who have received their giveaway VPS! We hope you enjoy the performance of our Indian VPS, which boasts a 3.2 GHz base frequency, offering outstanding value in the Indian market.
We trust that these servers will meet your requirements, and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
I am doing a comparison with hostDzire. The apparent pricing you mentioned in the last thread doesn't even come close. Not trying to attack you but just laying facts.
Team push-ups!
Thank you for your feedback! We understand that pricing can vary between providers due to differences in infrastructure, strategies, and services offered. We focus on delivering high-quality hardware, reliable performance, and excellent customer support, which can sometimes impact our pricing. We always aim to provide great value, and the services we offer are designed to ensure a top-notch hosting experience.
Here is the YABS (ran it yesterday, got back to laptop a little while back). I think the OS is some Redhat / rpm based.. (Alma/ Rocky?) Stock OS by the provided when VPS "keys" were handed over to me.**
Might run another set of tests once I install Debian.
Edit: Added the following Notes with initial impressions :
1. Currently not possible to mount iso / other than AlmaLinux, no other OS option possible. @dedicatedcore can the iso mounting option be enabled/ ticket to that effect ?
Virtfusion License- Noncommercial use.. Okay for trial period- hope for production servers this will be addressed
Closest comparative "Stock" plan I see on their website is VPS-EX4 (CPU Cores and RAM, 80 GB ie smaller disk) for US $ 16.99/month. I saw some discussion on pricing -(or lack thereof) considering this is a "free" VPS for 45 44 days...
Lets wait a while, kick the tires a bit more, before commenting any further.
Leapswitch Network - Panvel (Navi Mumbai location, not BOM but close to the new airport - code NMI...as a recent discussion around datacenters in New York area taught us, location needs to be mentioned clearly :-))
What can I expect from this VPS for the coming days? More importantly, what is the provider expecting from testers? time will tell. For me personally Debian would have been the preferred choice. But hey, it's still Linux, though with a different learning path. Time will tell what I get out of it.
Makes me reflect on the days of yore (2019/20) when I and a few other folk used to run tests on VPS - from OGF Poisson is a name I recall...this was the pre-YABS era. Then came LES, YABS and Benchmark King on LES, and a counterpart on OGF... jsg with his "superior" benchmarking script that may or may not have been open source. He used it to effectively prove that 7 out of 9 VPS of a cetrain perfume seller from Romania were reachable...
Now with NWS and YABS, will 300 GB bandwidth be enough (about 10 percent already used) ? Time will tell.
Cheers and thanks again

DId I win?
The Yeti has left the building.
Shipped out with AlmaLinux, this greeting message definitely scared me
@vyas -- If you're like me and hate Alma, this script seems to be running well for Debian12, just make sure you run it over VNC or else it'll be like shooting blind.

We are excited to have you be a part of our first-ever VPS giveaway! We’d like to take a moment to share some important details and clarify the purpose of this offer.
The 10 free VPS we are giving away are designed with one goal in mind: to support you, our dedicated community members. This giveaway is meant to help you with your testing and development purposes, and it's our way of contributing to your ongoing work. We are not offering this as a long-term hosting solution but rather as a way to give back and build a stronger relationship with the LES community.
We understand that flexibility is important, which is why we provide you with a control panel to easily choose and change the Alma OS on your VPS, allowing you to set up your server with the OS of your choice.
If you notice any "last login failed" messages, there's no need to worry! This might be due to incorrect password attempts and doesn't reflect an actual issue with your account. We conduct thorough checks before delivery, so this is simply a result of previous login attempts.
Our goal is to help you, and we don’t wish to compare our services with others. We don't have hosting provider tag yet so we are not able to post any offer and pricing details. Our main aim is to support the community in your testing and development efforts.
Lastly, I want to sincerely thank everyone who participated in this giveaway. Your involvement has made this DedicatedCore first giveaway a success, and we are truly grateful for your support.
Thank you again, and we look forward to continuing to serve you!

Can't use the form, cause need acces :'(
Hello,
Sorry, the promotion is over that's why you are not able to access the form.
I will update you in the future when we again open such an offer.
Thanks again for giving your valuable time.
Damn guess I didn't win 😕
The Yeti has left the building.
As always. Give up.
Just about to give it all up
The Yeti has left the building.
So you hate Alma because it told you your ssh port was exposed? :P
No, no, that is informational.
My hatred for AlmaLinux extends as far as CentOS and it is solely out of my pure spite and hatred of RPM packages. Nothing personal, just don't like them

Wow that script works as described, never been happier to get back to Debian. Muscle Memory/ Complacency (to learn new things)/ old age making me grumpy. Whatever the reason...
Thanks again

That script has saved me more than once. Its super quick, especially for dedis without having to fire up a IPMI session.
Team push-ups!
Hello Team,
The current offer will expire in 3 days, after which your VPS will be automatically terminated. Please ensure you back up your data before the deadline.
If you need an extension, please open a support ticket, and I can arrange a 10-day extension on your VPS.
Hello, I've offloaded my system, thank you for the great giveaway.
I managed to learn a lot about rclone and Docker on it, stuff I couldn't do on my other VPSes due to the lack of resources.
Congratulations on your provider tag!
