Hi All,
Some people have inquired about Funtoo-based OpenVZ hosting. I am now offering the following incentives for Funtoo supporters -- your monthly support grants you the ability to have access to the following hosting options:
== PLANS (based on level of monthly support) ==
$10 USD/mo - 3GB RAM, 4 Cores, 50GB storage, one IPv4 address
$15 USD/mo - 6GB RAM, 8 Cores, 100GB storage, one IPv4 address
$30 USD/mo - your choice of two 6GB servers as above, or single VPS:
12GB RAM, 12 Cores, 200GB storage, one IPv4 address
$45 USD/mo - your choice of three 6GB servers as above, or single VPS:
no CPU/RAM resource limits - 48GB RAM, 16 cores, 300GB storage
== FEATURES ==
Connectivity is multi-gigabit fiber direct to Los Angeles, California. VPS will be provided running funtoo-current. A shared Portage tree will be provided which you can choose to use and will not count towards your disk usage, or you can emerge --sync your own.
*I* will personally be providing support for your VPS.
== LIMITATIONS, DISCLAIMER, RULES, etc. ==
The VPS is for *your personal use.* NO reselling.
There is currently no Web panel - these servers will be set up using my own automated tool and you will be provided with ssh access. I can periodically reload VPS images as needed. This service is offered as a thank-you gift to Funtoo Linux supporters as long as sufficient capacity is available, with no warranty for uptime or anything else.
There are no refunds. While I host several production sites on this infrastructure, you assume all risk for hosting your production services on your VPS. I will make a best-effort-only attempt to provide support via IRC and email, and do not offer 24/7 support for your VPS. *US-Legal activities only. No spam will be tolerated.* These VPS systems are intended for funtoo enthusiasts only.
I am providing (particularly in the higher-level plans) generous default resource limits with the understanding that the VPS will be used for general Funtoo use and server stuff. Compiling with -j(NUM-CPUS+1) is encouraged (this is Funtoo, after all -- I want you to enjoy fast compiles :), but it's not okay to continually max CPU, IO, or network. No folding@home, massive file sharing, etc.
I am currently not supporting IPv6 but will look into adding such support if there is enough interest.
I am not obligated to continue this service indefinitely and I do not have unlimited capacity, so there may come a time where I can no longer offer new VPS accounts. You are responsible for backups. I reserve the right to change plans and pricing in the future.
** Depending on initial interest, I may need to request more IPv4 addresses to meet demand. Please email me at
drob...@funtoo.org after signing up for Funtoo Monthly Support to request a Funtoo server. Existing subscribers can also contact me at
drob...@funtoo.org to change their monthly support amount as desired. **
Best Regards,
Daniel
