FREE KVM! (Help us test KVM please!)

Hello, I'll keep this short. We've built a test KVM node to play with an want some help testing it so here we are. We have 5 of each option: 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB (all come with 5GB of disk space and 100GB of bandwidth to play with).

This is for testing only, these are not on production servers and do not have everything our public release will have (assuming we decide to offer KVM after testing is done). Right now we only offer 3 ISOs (Debian 6, CentOS 5.8, and Arch Linux), do not ask for more as we are not adding more in our test environment.

All VPSs last 14 days after order and we will manually provision orders to prevent abuse (I will process orders when I have time, it may be a few hours before I return to my PC so I apologize for the wait). Not all orders will be processed either so we apologize if your order does not make it. Thanks for your help! Any feedback you can provide would be appreciated!

Thanked by 1djvdorp

    Not enough ram to install CentOS (the 512mb will work) and Arch is for Hipsters :P

    Arch is a nightmare to get working with propriety drivers.

    Wow, I think like 90% of the sign-ups are from overseas (and mostly from the UK). I'm going to cancel the remaining orders and will open up some more for US and CA users since we only got 1 of each. LoL.

  • Thanks, Just signed up, I'm from the US!

    Hope I get accepted.

    @liam said: 128mb is plenty to play with!

    It is considering that my other plan with them is 32mb :P

  • Nice disk IO:

    (booted from the arch iso, waiting on my cent6 32 bit disk image to upload, at 1mpbs)

  • I also ordered one. LOVE IT :D

    Just order one, in fact, I like KVM, and I would like to have a 64M RAM VPS for a vpn server.

    Thanks. We hope it will be even better on our production server (6 drives instead of 4).

  • JoeMeritJoeMerit Veteran

    Thanks!, looks like a great way for people to test your new network location out as well.

  • I keep getting authentication failed when connecting to VNC.

  • netomxnetomx Moderator, Veteran

    Wow, I've never used VNC for CD install... nice!

    Installed CentOS 6 (In ~8.4 min), now to do some more tests.

    If you want to use that disk image, it's at http://199.167.31.125/cent6.gz. Just rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and remove the mac address line in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 then reboot to fix networking. If DHCP doens't work, you'll have to set up networking manually. Root password for the disk image is "temp-pass" without quotes. Be sure to change that after rebooting.
