Need a VPS sponsorship for University Project
Hi,
I'm looking for a VPS sponsorship for a University Project. It is completely non-profit and will be used to run a WordPress website where students can access co-curricular opportunities and register for guest lectures etc.
I'll be grateful if the community can help.Please PM is willing to help. Thanks!

We need more details.
You could, ya know, not say "Hey I want a VPS with a good excuse for hacking and flooding"
Sure, will provide all relevant details whatever is required.
Students at a single university or students at every university in the world?
Single University sir. It will be for benefit or 1500+ students.
Why can't you host this in your university's webspace?
On which part of the world this university is located?
India
What's your gender? This is important.
The OP joined on November 14, this is his very first post. Am skeptical.
I saw this forum while looking for vps sponsorship, so, thought of requesting here. I'd written purpose of joining forum in registration form also. And I'm ready to provide all needed details to the prospective host.
Will move it on University Servers once its fully developed and useful to students within 6-12 months.
Hm, now this is starting to smell.
Can you enlighten more information, please? Asking a single question here and there won't make sense to us.
A university that has 1500+ students and no availability of web space doesn't make sense to me!
What's barring the University Servers from deploying a KVM for a project of the students of the very same University?
I'm sorry, but this is more fishy.
Why can't you create it on the university servers now?
If it is a matter of a year, you can spin up resources from amazon or google.
University has several colleges, the website will only be for one college wich has ~1700 students. It's a student body so unless the project is fully developed and students start using it University admins won't host it plus even if they do they'll give limited control only.
You can always develop and host your website on a machine inside the university network. FB started off exactly like that. Why do you need a vps if it is only for students at your university?
Have you approached the college for sponsorship?
Strange...
Or wait a few days and spend a few rupees on a BF deal...
You can create a free WordPress site, at https://wordpress.com/ , just choose the Free plan.
Tried, but it's not accepting Indian debit card, Google Cloud suspended the billing account after it partially accepted the card...
What kind of uni hots only finished projects? Get a transfer outta there.
Actually we're not tech. students... We're from humanities stream. So, it's tricky to make our college authorities understand the thing and it's use and convenience for students... once it's live we can demonstrate and show it's usefulness...
BF deal?
pm @BharatB he will give best advise for you.
Blackfriday deals. You will still need to pay.
And, to be honest, I am not buying your story.
Me neither.
