 Out of curiousity, exactly what CPU and what kind of cooling are you using? Just a stock cooler, cool enough in the room... LOL Also keeping it clean helps a ton.. Sorry, didn't see the first part of that  Its an AMD Athlon II X3 455, clearly clocked at 3.86GHz  |

Well, you could make a pun with your forum game... eg "VPS's at Prices you will GASP at!", though that's pretty cheesy.  More seriously, the first question you need to ask yourself is what you want the name to symbolize, and that has more to do with your target market than anything. What key feature of your service do you want to push? Price? Unmetered bandwidth? Customer service? You want your name or motto to reflect to at least some degree that feature. Nice pun....So used to my name, kinda forgot about puns with it. I'd like to push the Price mainly, and Customer Service, but for names, I've thought of this as the first thing in my head type thought: Null-Pocket-Burning VPS (just now) NPB VPS ? That's really all I got xD |

Are you sure this device has enough processing power for encryption and decryption at the data rate you're going to provide? Not sure if it could be an issue, but I though it might be relevant.
I thought of that too, I've had ~2.5GHz systems get roughly 40% usage(quad core) from I2P, but they ARE different, but still have to decrypt everything. |

Firstly,Anyone want to help me with a name for the VPS? Kinda...lacking one, and I've always been bad at this. So basically i could use this service to wath US based online tv series and other stuff that need us based IP?
Yes, but it would require some setup. (A VPN setup would be needed. OpenVPN provides an extraordinarily easy to set up and connect "Easy Access" package that you could use. Perfect for newbies like me  ) I believe that bravetheheat has already answered for me, but as my own word, yes. Also once in a while it gets recognized as a New York IP address, no clue why. My review of Mr. Gasp's Cheap VPS Hosting:
I do have to say thank you, and you've been a patient customer. I also suggest everyone else to do tests at various points in the day, the connection should allow up to 3000kb/s downloads and uploads granted there's 0 net load.
Inside InfoI said i'd post how i keep track of everyone's nodes easy. This is the simplest way i've found (Names and USD rates are normally filled, removed them to prevent "WTH yours is $0.10 cheaper than mine =O"):  Full Sized: http://www.gasp-site.com/ge/imageuploads/1329071601.png

I have all three cores now?  proc/cpuinfo shows me three amd cores at 3.86 GHz, and minerd gives me three threads at a full >4 khash each. What's going on?  I believe 1 core is your allocation under full load; cores are split based on who is using them, so when no else is using them, you will receive all three. And, unless you're mining Litecoins, 4 Khash is way too slow, do you mean 4 Mhash? After some more testing, it turns out that you might be right! Thanks for the clarification. Actually, i goofed when i first set yours up, the cores don't change dynamically. I set yours to 3 cores like other people . Under load the server will split the resources evenly between all nodes (Gotta change first post now). Sorry for the change. Just the way it seems to be playing out. Also I've done some tests, and with him mining at 100% on all 3 cores, shows no slow down for other VPSes, which was one of my concerns. (aside from fair sharing) And yes, hes mining LTC. Once the server is full with 12-24 VPSes, I do plan on upgrading the CPU to some sort of beast, so you should see some major performance upgrade later on. I'll post about it for sure though, don't expect it for some months. Glad you two are enjoying it, really, thanks for the comments and posts. |

So far the number of requests / systems has been 3 for 'The Needy', and yours, 'That One.' You forgot about me...  I didn't 2 'The Needy' 2 'That One.' misplaced you Ah, much better. Seriously sorry about that Also one of 'The Needy' is really the first one i sold, so they're getting a tad more disk... |

*Softcaps will change, progressively down to:
1/12(The Needy),
1/24(Special Sir), and
1/40(That One.) as the system gets more nodes on the system(It will never be loaded past 12GB for VPSes)
Question, will the softcaps go down for those who have already purchased a vps subscription? Yea they'll have to,  eventually I might upgrade the CPU on that system though. There will only be up to 27-24 systems on the server, 12 if they're all 'The Needy' So caps wont be too harsh. If this server stays happily full, I'll want to buy a better server shortly. Then after that it'll have to wait, wife wants a house. I also didn't design this to be a CPU powerhouse, but rather storage and ram based, with a decent CPU behind it. (Also i wouldn't worry about yours, I think you've been on one core sense boot....I'll change/doublecheck that after i add the RAM) So far the number of requests / systems has been 3 for 'The Needy', and yours, 'That One.' As a last note, I'll be running one of 'The Needy' Systems along side the clients', and i'll do tests from point to point to make sure everything is running smoothly for everyone, compared to other VPS services. |

No Direct Downloads copyrighted content Does that mean the VPS can't be used to directly download copyrighted content or it can't be used to host direct download of copyright content. Host primarily. |

Checky tw@t your just a spammer and a troll.
Harsh reaction much? Even if you're an honest trader, that would not make me want to send you my card. |

These VPS' have the best 'bang for buck' value that I've seen on the web. I've been looking for a cheap VPS for ages, but I never did find one that would have enough resources to power what I want and still be cheap. These, though, are a clear exception! Where else can you get 2GHz of CPU, unlimited bandwidth, a decent amount of ram, and an awesome amount of HDD for such a low price? Anyway, I've been testing the VPS for a while now, and I've got to say that I'm impressed! The connection speed is decent, it downloads from the ubuntu servers at around 600kbps. At the very least, the openvpn setup I ran on it is faster than the service that BTCLot provides (especially since I connect from China). The processing power is great! I have a dedicated athlon x2 3800+ rig that doesn't even catch up to what this vps can hash. Tech support was also extremely fast, got replies and fixes within 10 minutes, most of the time only within 5. Overall, it's a great VPS service! Good job MrGaSp!! Thank you for your post and great comments Wasn't sure how it'd preform, glad your VPN works for you I was wondering. Again, Thank you bravetheheat. |

Now that I ordered 8GB of RAM for it, I'll be leaving 3GB for the system.
This means that there will be 7 "The Needy" slots available. And 2x the others.. of course.
PM me or post here if you're interested, also price may drop soon if BTC:USD rate stays up.

We are not paying for reject, but we are paying a rate (105%) that more than makes up for them. I just got back form 30 hours with out internet and will be making payments now. Sorry for the delay.
(Never been this long without internet access before!!!)
I'd be having major withdraw issues...major. Went to Bangkok to buy 7970s and then went out that night so I was distracted enough, but it is good to be plugged back in:) http://s1081.photobucket.com/albums/j343/TyGrrTech/?action=view¤t=P1280042.jpgNice, i'll love to see what kind of MH/s you'll get out of those, screenshots please? =D |
