I’ve been getting a lot of traffic lately from people looking for information about VPS.NET and it’s cloud platform, and I get the impression that people might think it’s difficult to get started. It’s not. As such, I’ve decided to make an offer to people wanting to use it for their web sites.
I’ll set your web server up for you, for free, after you sign up to VPS.NET. I’ll get it up and running with Ubuntu Linux, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5.1. I’ll also set up FTP (if desired) and create up to five user accounts and Apache virtual hosts for domains you already have.
All you have to do to take advantage of this is the following:
- Sign up to VPS.NET using this link (see note 1) - but don’t create a VPS
- Forward the account details link you get from VPS.NET (including your account username and password) to vps@dancryer.com
- In the email, include the number of VPS.NET “nodes” you want me to allocate to your VPS, a list of up to five domains you would like to be set up, the server name you want to use (if you have a preference), and whether or not you would like to be able to access it via FTP.
I’ll set up the server as soon as I can and email you back with a list of Ubuntu user names and passwords, MySQL usernames and passwords, and various other server details.
Notes:
- In order to qualify for the free set up, you must use the link I provided to sign up. VPS.NET offers a generous affiliate program that covers the cost for my time to set up the server, which allows me to offer it to you for no cost.
- If demand is high, I cannot guarantee to be able to set your server up for you. I’ll email you back at the earliest possible time to let you know.
- Your account details will be deleted from my email account as soon as the work is completed, you are of course welcome to change all passwords after completion of the work.
- I cannot offer ongoing server support for free, such requests will be met with a request for payment.
- I will not install any web applications as part of this offer, nor migrate data from existing hosting accounts, simply install the server software itself, further configuration is up to you.
Is this offer still available?
