System On Grid 1 Year Free VPS = 1 CPU | 1 GB | 10 GB SSD | 1 TB BW
I just saw this in an AdWords ad, and I thought I'd share it here:
Thanked by 1szarka

Note that it is for North American residents only and requires Credit Card verification
I got one. The connection speed to Linode is very slow, but much better for Softlayer.
I've started a bench.sh about an hour ago and it's still not done yet. Disk I/O is subpar. I guess I can't complain since it's free.
Server location seems to be in NYC.
Edit: It has completed. Below are the results.
What locations do they allow?
@dennelly You don't get to choose the location. I think they probably only have NYC location.
Unixbench:
They use anonymous WHOIS for their domain name (https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=systemongrid.com). They use a virtual address: 244 5th ave, NY 10001. And they are not a registered company at all.
So no thanks, not gonna tell those guys my credit card.
So, completely unattached. Another meaning for free base then.
a credit card is required... hm.. no thanks!
I want to try this offer, but for unknown reasons, the captcha is not loading. poor me.. (
@unfortunately
Now, isn't that unfortunate?
Huh. I don't trust pseudo-companies with a Hitachi wand in the logo.
Hello we did not really knew that free base has this kind of meaning.
Yes we will be launching more sites soon. Just wanted to say that systemongrid was started by bunch of guys similar to the ones who hangout here. It has all been our sweat money and we have not yet reached any investor for funding as of yet. Hence we are slow in expanding, but hopefully we will be adding atleast California soon.
We had an issue with one of our Service Provider which took a while to get identified. But we have fix the problem. It will be really great if you guys can do a benchmark again so that you will get a better picture.
Nope
We definitely do understand your concerns and I will not be advocating to register an account with systemongrid.com. Just wanted to say that we are bunch of guys just like yourself and we have started systemongrid with our own money. We have not raised any funding yet. We are not perfect and the whole thing has been overwhelming. We did update the whois records for transparency. I am just trying to have our voice heard. And if it helps to build trust, let me know and I can give you a validation code so that you can try our services without providing the credit card. I am one of the developers and I can provide a backdoor by bypassing the credit card validation. And I will just post the process here so that all people visiting this site can use it for a limited time. The whole point of using a credit card for validation is just to avoid abuse of system on grid.
Give my card to a company even doesn't really exist?
Nope
Yes we are using a virtual address because we have a very small setup right now. Its been just over a year and team of 7 people who has been working on this. We have put all our own money without approaching any VC yet. Things have been tight and we have been putting more money on buying servers than actually investing on a decent office in NYC. Thats the next plan. I do not expect people to just take it for what I say, but I am just making our voice heard. We have already registered System On Grid LLC and we have a DNB number. We will be moving to a proper office soon. But we all the resources that we have, we could only do so much and we are trying to do things better.
Nope
We do exist and registered in the state of new york. You can search for our information in DNB by visiting dnb.com
The truth is:
@AuroraZ ate his own penis when on bath salts.
@WSS nope
@AuroraZ I have video proofs.
@WSS nope
Though this is really hilarious but its actually very rough on us. Somehow we did not realize that our logo has a Hitachi Wand in it. But we loved that Logo and we see the space and the data motion in it. We are not perverts nor weirdos. Just a bunch of guys who thought Cloud can be simpler and cheaper. I am not going to try convincing you to trust us, but then the hitachi wand comparison is little too much. But we will still love our logo and we see it differently.
@AuroraZ that's your fucking hitachi wand.
@WSS Nah I work sasquatch llc member?
@AuroraZ zomg hawt
