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. Community projects need a formal organized structure in order to be governed by the the rules outlined in important notes.

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays!

WHAT'S THAT!? It's a bird... it's a plane... it's Lu Bu... NO!... it's a huge list of Steam keys that I need to get rid of! Haven't done this in a couple years, so my backlog of games to give away has grown pretty large. Most of the games in the list are from my humble bundle monthly subscription when either I forget to skip the month or just claim one or two games from the bunch leaving the rest to idle. Anyways... in the LowEndSpirit of the holiday season, I would like to share a game to all of my friends to enjoy!

READ FIRST: Rules to claim game -
1. Account must be registered on LES forum on or before 17 Dec 2021
2. Minimum of 1 comment or discussion posted during 2021 (from 01 Jan 2021 to 17 Dec 2021)
3. Each LES member can claim 1 game from the list
4. No duplicate accounts please... or off to the gulag with you
5. I humbly request that you don't try to resell the key. Please only request a key if you plan on playing the game or are gifting it to a family member or friend to enjoy
6. Post your request of a game marked available as a comment in this thread, I will PM you the key

I will try to get the keys out to everyone within 24 hours of your comment. Keys will be issued on a first come, first served basis, so pay attention if anyone before you had requested the same game. My sincerest apologies in advance if due to my poor organizational skills a key doesn't work or has already been claimed -- I try my best to track which one's I've given out and which ones are still unclaimed but with so many keys, mistakes are bound to happen. Happy Holidays everyone and Happy Gaming!

Cheers,
