I have a high-spec enterprise server (i.e. not some fly by night operation in someone's basement) that I am running Citrix Xenserver (http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/subfeature.asp?contentID=2300455) on. I'm currently underutilizing it and willing to offer up a massive portion of it to 1-3 people AT COST in bitcoin.

This is not part of a business venture I'm just looking for a few people to share the server with proportionally to cover expenses. You won't find any VPS company in the world offering this

What I'm offering:
Shared bandwidth
~1900GB bandwidth on 100mbit connection (there is a 2TB limit, I use about 100GB/mo)

32GB Ram | 800GB Disk | 3 IPs  = $165.09 or BTC equivalent
16GB Ram | 400GB Disk | 2 IPs  = $93 or BTC equivalent
8GB Ram | 200GB Disk  | 1 IP     = $51.80 or BTC equivalent

Preferably paid via bitcoin, but will accept CC if you are a trusted member.

-1 VPS with your resources or you can split it into however many VPSes you want (I can setup any vlans or host-only adapters you want).
-Bring your own ISO! Citrix supports almost any OS, including windows.

Reply or PM if interested or if you have questions!

For comparison, a 20GB VPS at linode would cost you $800/month

Any other company will have similar pricing.

Nevermind.

I didn't think Joe's had a data cap...or at least for more than 1-4U of space...oh well...good luck

Maybe not in the past, now it's capped and a fee for uncap and it runs about 80mbit actual.

I'm semi interested, how can I know your trustworthy? It seems a little too good to be true.
Can I see proof that you currently own the server your speaking of?

Proof? You mean a picture of me smiling next to the server with today's newspaper? C'mon..

If you want it I'll give you access before you pay. "Me first" as the fun-loving skeptics on bitcoin-otc like to say.

Haha that's good enough for me I guess.

Oh another question, how long should I expect my service to stay running? As in, how long will you be keeping your server and selling a part of it to me?

If this offer is still open by next Friday (paycheck) I'll be looking to buy it, cheers!

It'll stay up forever as long as I'm breaking even on it. And since it's just two of us I might kindly ask you to pitch in if a piece of hardware ever dies like an HD or something.

Hi, I need VPS capable of running Team Fortress 2, please contact me for this small deal.
Thanks

I'm only interested in splitting it up to 3 ways -- 32gb, 16gb, or 8gb.

Oh yeah almost forgot, I bought it!  :D

Bumping. Currently have 8gb free -- will have 32 available after the month is over. Current user is Tittiez (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=51152), he can vouch for the service.
