I like the new EduVPS, 1Gbps Port & Fast I/O
Not sure if EduVPS has always been like this, but it is performing really well.
Over 250MB/s I/O and 100MB/s Network. It outperforms 99% of my LowEndBox's
Edit: For those that don't know, EduVPS provides free VPS servers.

wow...
We well soon be at... http://abuse.io
looks exactly like my @iniz ssd vps, except IO is 900+ and upload is closer to 1gbit
Yep! Just hope it takes a few days.
But Iniz isn't free...
What is that
script?
I can't even register. My country not listed.
Very interesting service. They ran out of IPS 1 minute after I created an account.
Another sustainable business model...
If the aim is to learn linux, sysops, devops then having a publically routable VPS from the start, copy-and-pasting stuff from LEB/WHT/google as you go on, is just not a good idea. There exists a ton of solutions from VirtualBox, VmWare, Parrellels, etc.. and Live CD, Live USB that one can experiment without being on the tinternet. Combined with a decent course, or a few decent books, it is much better than signing up here or WHT, and your opening thread being "hey man, how I secure my linux server, I am a noob, help me learn"
Also whats the point of these benchmarks, if the VPS is ephemeral and for learning only, it just needs a minimal performance profile to be acceptable to a tinkerer.
Given this a terrible way to learn, I cant see any more hosting companies jumping to sponsor this anytime soon.
Just my opinion.
Note, if you do desire a free VPS backed by company that will be around tomorrow, AWS has a free tier which allows 12months micro instance for free, this would be a better option.
Overall pretty nice for a free vps.

i'm unlucky , Can't deploy anymore vps.
Thanks!
Pretty good deal, no IP's though.
I tried signing up but apparently i have a existing account. So i think they use anther domain to offer these free accounts. My old account still show no free ips...
I can understand people sponsoring virtual servers to projects that need them and support a good cause in one way or another. But to give them entirely free, resulting in the mass of freebie lovers picking them all up, benchmarking it and then leaving it idle/unused seems like a waste to me.
It's supposed to be used for "educational purposes" but looking at a screenshot they posted on facebook, it's just people running minecraft servers or emulating windows xp in openvz.
Wow, they offer for the UAE (my country), usually we are never on "accepted" countries for some weird reason. Kudos to EduVPS
Shockingly the fraud rates I always saw out of there seemed about average at worst, for a country that so quickly sets off risk detection.
cant even ssh...
Mine is snappy as ever..
Mine is ok, connection drops at times on ssh but it reconnects in a jiffy.
We have a saying here @jarland , not all your fingers are the same. There's always going to be some bad apples, but not everyone is a bad apple
