Need ideas for what to use 11 VZ0 prometeus VPSs for
Hey everyone,
It seems I have 11 of the prometeus VPSs that they had on sale but I have nothing to do with them!
I know their are plenty of "what do do with your LEB" but I am not really interested in any of them.
Does anyone have some seemingly alternative uses for these boxes? Otherwise I will probably just end up setting up a VPN on each and selling access.
I would be open to running your applications on them if it's for a community or running a static page on them for something.
Any ideas? k go.

Let them expire.
What, you were hoarding for the end of the world?
Cancel these to let someone else who has a genuine need to buy them. As you know stock is limited.
@rds100
I was running calculations for predicting the exact second the world was going to end
No but really I had an actual use for them but I only needed them for a day or so and because they were so cheap it was quite profitable.
Cancel them
Profitable? You're letting them sit there doing nothing, and are paying for them.
One would think that Amazon or other bill-per-hour type of provider would be more "profitable" for such one day uses, but who knows.. i haven't run the numbers
@gubbyte
I paid $66 for 12 months for 11 of them. I can tell you now I made more than that.
I'm not going to cancel them as I have already paid for them and they have made their money back that's why I am asking for suggestions and am more than happy to host stuff for people.
Cancel it, and return it back to @Prometeus so another people can have the use of it.
And I believe Uncle Sal might want to refund you.
@ErawanArifNugroho I'll assess my options first as it seems I might now have a use for at lest half of them.
Guys, I'm going to put this out there now. I'm greedy. I'm not going to cancelling them.
Are you sure to have bought 11 50cents? I remember a few people getting more than one, but 11 seems a big number...
EDIT: they are most likely VZ0, not 50 cents, if you are who I think you are;-)
Hehe.. Well then. To give you some another ideas :
@prometeus
100% sure. Can see them in my WHMCS account
@ErawanArifNugroho
It was an impulse thing that turned out to be worth it. Probably never going to be worth it again.
the number is correct, the plan not. They are VZ0, not 50 cents
Yeah, just looked at that. Oh well more money for you
Well there you go guys. VZ0 not 50cent.
This is actually a really good idea. I am currently paying $30/month for a VPS "in the cloud" that could just be swapped over for a few of these as I'm pretty sure they are spread over different nodes.
this is also not accurate. The price you wrote before the last edit was
I'm all over the shop with the stats of what I got... Oh well
Study will be easier because they are all at the same location.
I have VPSs in other locations as well so it's not that big of a deal.
donate it to me as birthday present
@haseltine : Today is your birthday?
I mean there is no lag between them, so synchronization is fast.
If @prometeus allows it, you could set up a bunch of honeypots and upload the data to honeynet.org or elsewhere. You could also share the attacking IPs in LET, to help people blacklist them in their networks.
The real secret to how to profit from sale prices...the massive number of people who just throw money at you and never use it :P
I kid, but there's truth to the joke!
@jarland what you say is 100% truth but in no way do I regret my purchase.
Oh I know... I don't regret any of my 4 yearly buyvm's either
A personal non-enterprise cloud storage?
You could try to setup fail-over, I've never setted up a fail-over system with VPS before, would be interesting.

All those really nice suggestions
Now I know why they go so fast, because ppl buy by the bucket...
Maybe we should limit one per customer if we do this... Oh, wait, then we get someone doing 20 accounts, I just saw a few weeks before someone with 30+ accounts.
We ended up with -8 stock once...
