Good uses for 512MB 3IP 5GB VPS? Only using for DNS atm...

gibstergibster Member

Hey all,
I have an old VPS - 512MB, 1IP's and 5GB storage thst is currently only being used for backup DNS for my website and I was wondering if there was anything useful that I could do with it apart from just letting it stay there...
Many thanks in advance,
Ben

  • Install and run Huginn? Maybe a private vpn?

  • Install deluge and offer a justseed.it clone for cheap

    run public vpn/proxy, run exit tor, run ..

  • run three Tor bridges on them! they won't use much bandwidth but they provide uncensoured internet access to users in repressed regions. they won't generate abuse complaints, either

  • You may use it as NTP server for the pool: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ ;)

    Because of the large number of users we are in need of more servers. If you have a server with a static IP address always available on the internet, please consider adding it to the system.

    I already use all my servers for it…

    OpenVZ servers can't be used for NTP, at least not effectively.

    It only has 5GB storage. Also the provider doesn't allow seedbox.

    Install Piwik and use it for your sites.
    ...
    Install and stream Shoutcast/Icecast
    ...
    Install a private proxy/vpn
    ...
    Mount fuse filesystems and use that VPS to sync your cloud accounts.
    ...
    Make it a honeypot to collect attacker/spammer ip addresses by writing a bash script that collects IP's from logs just to block them on your other hosts.
    ...
    Install Nginx/Varnish to make it work as a proxy for your sites, use it like a cheap CDN.
    ...
    ...

    • RabbitMQ (message queue)
    • Nginx reverse proxy to use the dedicated IP (if GRE is not available and on OpenVZ)
  • It seems to be ipsystems.

    Run useful apps like paperwork.rocks or piwik or even a mail server

    If you've got plenty of spare data transfer, you could use it to support ArchiveTeam projects?
