Reminds me of EDIS
EDIS?
Hosting company who offered free colocation for RPIs.
Please Google it, there are several posts about it.
It has 512mb of memory, I mean it's okay. I just find it a pain in the butt to work with. I couldn't find any decent templates. I'm in a love-hate relationship with my Pi.
Id personally buy a VPS and try your hand. Easier and you can upgrade too. Idk, give it a shot? It's only $35 I guess.

Currently there is a dutch (also english speaking) company offering free Pi colocation with 500GB bandwith in Gyrocenter located in Amsterdam.
I'm still in doubt if I send my pi there or keep it :P
Me too. I have 3 PIs. 2 of them are actually 'in use', one of them is still in the box so it might be a candidate.
Well if I got 2 I would have known it for sure. But because I only got 1 and on a tight budget it is hard haha
interrested in selling your 3rd cheap?
I wonder why noone is offering Raspberry Pi colocation or dedicated hosting in UK. Rapsberry Pi is maybe too slow to be a credible web server, but it could be a backup server; private data would not be on shared resources.
Works great for me php-fpm, nginx, and APC.
Wow that's pretty cool, I had no idea.
Free too! Pretty decent.
Without a KVM console or a way to auto cold-boot a Pi, it's a pretty time consuming server to support. You also have to build your own rack units, get the right amount of USB power to every Pi and so on. In short: unlikely you're going to make any money.
I still have one in EDIS DC but it's not working anymore, probably a hardware fault.
in wondering, the Pi doesnt got a power switch so what's gonna happen when you enter shutdown now.
It just turns off.. you have to re-plug it in.
A little bit aside
I've been looking for a device capable to switch the power of an usb device via software
Or at least, a simple power switch via software, and I will do the recabling for an usb device.
Done that, reconnecting a pi should be easy :P lol
USB to rs232 with shift registers.... Easy
I did some reading on this a while back and have seen some projects using it. There's actually a fair few small sites running via the PI. This device is fantastic and should deliver some nice progress in the coming years.
"Only 512mb"
Dude, this is LET...
It explodes.
Happy I sent (one of) my Pi to EDIS. Took quite a while to get set up, but all running smooth now. nginx/php-fpm ftw. Even have a little VNC running on it for some browsing and stuff. http://i.imgur.com/PZeRACR.png
@DashKiller Nice!
@DashKiller 512mb raspberry, lucky guy
25$ WOW
Sorry no
Looks great
After all we are talking of something with performance in bar with some P4 servers! It might be in one point between ~1.5 Mhz P4 and a ~2.5 Mhz P4 server that some datacenters were/are still selling it in a "special price", you can run CPU performance test on a P4 server and on Pi , or it might have been done already by someone..
Some benchmarks would be nice indead. Right now my pi at home doesn't feel "fast". More like useless slow.
I'm thinking of buying one for XBMC, currently having my TV connected to my PC to watch movies
Anyone here uses it for XBMC?
@joodle use raspbmc or xbian and ur fine
Yesterday decided to try out my pi with streaming movies. Xbmc is really easy because I can add my own page with all my movies from my vps. Because of some reason I had weird colors all over the movie. Still not sure what is the reason of that.
Actually the ARM cpu it depends on isn't that modern nor it's that powerful as I've thought, but it got improvements over time, plus it's low cost and low power consumption are main advantages.
I couldn't find benchmarks by a widely used CPU benchmarking test to compare it with Intel CPUs, but anyhow it doesn't look to have something special in terms of caching and bus speeds, but it can burst clock speed up to 1000 Mhz. Could be comparable to some of the first Intel Atom cpus, but I doubt it too.

It would be really beneficial if anyone running it is able to post benchmarking results from unixbench or similar
