Few things I'm planning:
Mumble server for me and few friends
Spare mail server
Openvpn
Open DNS Server.
( :P )
Cancel it and save money.
One more copy of your backup.
make it even more unused.
Forget about it.
Become a SpeedTest.Net host?
Or ownCloud?
Everyone with spare vps should add their disk to my gluster for hosting "Linux Isos"
this is great when there is enough diskspace but most people dont need much so it shuold be more then enough in many use cases.
looking glass can be nice, monitor the node also, make a honeypot.
Tahoe-lafs
Also start lowenddns!!
I just got a server from xvmlab for $30/year 100GB of SSD space, 1GB of ram and I don't know what to do with at I had a plan to make it in to a backup server but then it would be a waste of the ssd space. Any one know what I should do with it?
vpn, backup/mirror, testing
Let it stay unused.
@JohnJ I wouldn't say it's a waste of SSD space, you'll just always have solid I/O when storing & retrieving backups.
I think I'm going to use one of my XVMLabs boxes as a MySQL (MariaDB) server for a few smaller scripts I host on <128MB boxes. It has low bandwidth but a good amount of ram & solid I/O for a database server. The scripts hosted on the smaller servers aren't super DB-intensive and are non-production, I can handle a little delay in DB queries.
I experimented with bitcoins but its high cpu usage with virtually no return.
Backups, tor relay if allowed, seed actual linux iso's, remote desktop, mysql replication, install vestacp and give free hosting accounts, free BNC hosting for people or sell backup space?
n.o.n.e
I would either use it for backups...or get rid of it and save money!
gift it to me.
I actually have a 2GB box with CVPS I was gonna use as a remote desktop, but latency is too bad even in NJ for it to be smooth.
I can't believe it's 2014 and they haven't invented anything faster than light yet..
why you had purchased if you had nothing to use for?
It's how this industry thrives.
What did you use to access your remote desktop? Using x2go with my HostUS atl vps works great!
Usually tightvnc and xrdp
Give x2go a try, even using VNC on gigabit local network is not nice...
What issues did you have? Whenever I used it its been fine.
i give it away in LET.
