So how to get that "carrots" free?

Since I didn't see any this can't said to be a true free promotion.

What the fuck are you going on about?

Anna_Parker

@justin4869 Read carefully whole page. Firstly claim your 50 free carrots (LOL!), then you'll be able to pay with them.

To sign up for our free VPS services, you will need to use CarrotPay and claim your free SiteCoins.

Sorry but at this point I have to ask what the fuck they are going on about.

Guess there not allowed post your Hong Kong deal..

@Anna_Parker also you should edit away all mentions of plans which are >$7, because this is outside the LET price limit. Just nuke the entire "Paid plans" sections as they don't have any <$7.

The funny thing is that you can claim infinite sitecoin carrots, creating infinite carrots accounts (someone says "mailinator"? ).
Those sitecoin have an expiration date, so after you got a some on a new carrot's account you can just make a payment on vpsbit to have some carrot credits available to pay future invoices.

CarrotPay seems totally crap, IMHO.

They are using Hong Kong IPs in Lithuania (because makes sense, right?)

You should check the actual location with traceroute.

I see that the "Coming soon" free VPS in US has 512 GB of RAM. Wow...

elgs

Is it free for only the first month?

elgs

Got one, thanks. What is the carrot USD exchange rate?

lifehome

Any LowEnd discount/offer on HK VPS? Would LOVE to buy some.

elgs

@lifehome I know of EDIS and 36Clould offering HK servers. EDIS is more expensive, but their network is much faster. 36Could is slightly cheaper, but their network is limited to 2Mbps, not really usable.

elgs

@Anna_Parker I just cannot login with the root password I set at provision time.

elgs

Has anyone got it work? Everything seems to be good except cannot login.

Anna_Parker

@elgs Login as user (defined on deploying), then use su command.

elgs

@Anna_Parker I saw it's optional, therefore I cleared it out. So is it not optional?

Strikerr

@elgs check your sshd_config file for PermitRootLogin without-password line.
Change to PermitRootLogin yes

elgs

@Strikerr, thanks. I'm still outside the box, and am still struggling to login.

elgs

Thanks @Anna_Parker, @Strikerr, it works with charlie now.

You're silent hero

elgs

Thanks @Anna_Parker. I played with the server for a while, and the overall performance is quite good for a free server. I'm actually interested in the Hong Kong servers on your website. Do you think it's possible for a Hong Kong server to be anything less than $10 a month, with half specs of the $10 one?

gonggo

While it's sucks to some US locations, it's quite good for a free stuff. Let the time will tell how good/bad it is.

Anna_Parker

@elgs The problem is it's not my site: I am not in any way affiliated with VPSBiT.com, I have just found that promotion on neighbour forum and posted it here. Just ask them from your client panel - they are answering on tickets pretty well.

Chuck

1 Month free only?

Hey, can anyone tell me the billing software of this site? Thank in advance!

No its free every month but you need to claim the SiteCoin every month too.

Technically yes you can get an 'unlimited' number of site coins. But you need a different E-mail for each site coin claim so it's not without effort. It's also against the TOS to do that, and if you are caught the VPS will be terminated.

US$1 = 10 Carrots.

The cheapest HK VPS is $20 /month and includes 1GB RAM. I suppose if you want somthing for less than $10 (say $7?) then the spec could be something like 256MB RAM and 10 GB disk space. But is that really desirable these days? With such small RAM you would not be able to run most OS, including CentOS 6 and 7.

Free VPS registrations have been enabled again! Stock for 32 more. They wont last long though

BlaZe

Hurry up while the stocks last

Also, we have paid plans and the paid VPS will be provisioned on a different than the free ones so don't worry about it. Maintaining quality of service is what we thrive for.
