Newcomer to Gigarank, please review

[fitkoh]

I recently acquired a vps from freedomain.club, and am working my way towards a free domain too. Having seen gigarank listed at freevps.us I knew I had to come take a look and gather some input.

I'm sure no one will mind hearing that so far people are saying great things about your web hosting service. I may seek to acquire this in the near future.

What I haven't seen any honest, fair, and forthright reviews about your vps service. Most people seem to think your posting requirements are a bit too high, but to me I think if your vps service is as good as your hosting service it's well worth the commitment to make the quality posts needed to obtain one.

Are there any current gigarank vps users that can offer me some feedback? What kind of VM is used? What is the physical location of the servers, and how does that affect latency for nearby and faraway users? What other input do you feel compelled to offer about the service?

Thank you in advance for any replies; I anticipate great opportunities in these forums.

I use the VPS since we introduced it. I believe that this is worth of posting, it is definitely high for the most professional system support you would have. It is very worth of getting quality posts to obtain one, however having the shared account first is a must, Tech Admin has to check if you are able to take care of web hosting first, before giving you out the VPS, because with that, there are a lot of responsibilities.

We only use Virtualizer as a default VPS management, this VPS is unmanaged, which means that you have to do everything on your own. This is very important that you have some IT knowledge about operating systems and web servers.

I believe that VPS'es are located in France or UK as we use OVH, thanks to them for amazing servers.
The latency doesn't affect anything, which is very good as usually there is nothing wrong with the server.

The posting mechanic is almost like a reward for contributing to the forum. It also filters out the trolls and abusers who could be using the servers resources to upload rude or malicious content which would go against the terms and conditions.

It is good that we have high requirements in my opinion because a 100 posts to apply and then 50 a month to maintain it which is a lot of effort and not many people will want to do that if they are going to get trolled and banned within the first day of earning VPS.

Thank you for your replies. Given my recent success in such endevours I'll continue to apply myself here.

I don't have anything like a college degree or awards. I have a small resume of websites but nothing that I'm currently hosting now. I've run a private server on the router out of my house, from which my isp blocks most everything. I had dsl back in 2009 and ran a server off an old 486 for almost a year until someone from zerklabs hacked me. So I know not to let that happen. Deny zerklabs.net

Maintaining a server is something new to me; and with these community driven services a great opportunity. I can finally manifest a vision without having any out of pocket expenses. It's really great to have access to a server without the accompanying 25$ fee. It might not be much to some people but to me 25$ is a 2 gallon of milk, pound of butter, 2 dozen eggs and 2 loaves of bread: breakfast for 2 weeks.

While I can't guarantee you that I won't screw it up, I can promise you that I'm devoted to teaching and learning and that with the communities support I have complete faith in my ability to grow into those responsibilities.

To earn my vps here I will focus on the main requirement: being able to and having experience managing a server. As I've recently acquired such a server (shoutout to freedomain.club), I will focus my posting in these forums around educating and document myself on acquiring these skills. And when my posting requirements accrue to where I can host a web site I will permit you the honor of hosting the www. section of my open source web site. I'm currently using freedns free subdomain and hosting it on my vps. It still needs some work (only 4 days old) I plan to release it publicly in about a month or so when I've added the free domain onto my services at the aforementioned club.

It's also a good idea to get some knowledge on how to use a vps before you go straight into it if you are unsure of what to do. if you have a spare computer or you are able to get free computer parts to construct a basic server to learn the way it works. It seems that you already have good knowledge with vps and hosting so you should be good with everything.
