andrew.: Damn, compsci.ca just got spammed

ProgrammingFun: Wow, that's a rather large bot attack.

Nathan4102: bloody hell, I never knew Linux was such a pain to set up. after hours of fiddling with my VPS, I FINALLY got a desktop.

Nathan4102: Shout has been censored

Amailer: +1 for digital ocean, great provider

Tony: DigitalOcean will give you an instance for $5/month and they take PayPal.

Nathan4102: EC2 doesn't take paypal, it looks like most people who offer free trials require a valid CC. Ill just buy a 5-10$ a month VPS, thats fine with me.

Raknarg: Do they accept paypal? if so, you could just have them take money from that accountacnd constantly supply it with cash.

Nathan4102: Dam, I missed it. These guys look good though, thanks

rdrake: These guys are good: link During Black Friday they had a $50 credit to new customers.

Nathan4102: Unfortunatly, I don't have a credit card to sign up with, and fake ones don't work with them. I'm considering the 3.99 plan link here, do you think it'll do fine for web browsing and simple marcoing on linux?

chrisbrown: EC2. Newcomers get a free year; after that a micro instance costs $0.02/hr - about $15/month if you leave it up all the time.
