    Why you have a server but don't know what to do with it?

  • Maybe he would be having some plan but didnt completed it...

  • Cancel them. If you're not using them then they're a waste of money. Short of providing services for others (whatever that might be), I can't think of any other reason to keep them. The specifications are overkill for a lot of the things people above have listed.

  • make some quick virtual machines and rent them at prices that are really low.

    Give it to me!

    Haha, you could use it as a vpn, a seedbox, game servers, most of what was suggested above. Or you could save money and just cancel them if they're really at no use to you right now.. :D

  • yes i too think you can use it for VPS and make money

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    @praveen said: yes i too think you can use it for VPS and make money

    No. Not unless you clearly advertise the zero redundancy on storage.

    @Chronic said: Cancel them

    This.

    You are planning to setup a summer host and we all know that, please don't encourage more kids to setup 1 mo business and make a run.

    From @Sashi's other thread -

    The VPS I have is in UK, however I am based in Canada

    It's quite possible.

    You could use this one for glorious streaming if you have the need or want for an Icecast and/or RTMP server.

  • I would personally use them as a mail host. I am writing a shell script that will install a mail server from scratch and add a web interface for management.
