Free 15 Day VPS from Atum.com

[Jeffrey]

I have successfully gotten a free VPS trial from atum.com and no credit card was required for me, just genuine information about where I live, my name, and why I want a trial. I have to say, I am not happy with their service.. No control panel, no control panel, and no control Panel. Must I say that their VPS's are extremely expensive? Also, for some odd reason most of the ports are blocked on my VPS even though they say they are all open.. I don't have access to any firewall. I will see if they will do a sponsorship when my trial is over, but I highly doubt it. I would give this host 2/5 stars

What even more amazes me is this:
[root@HostingPad ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2006 1822 184 0 213 1289
-/+ buffers/cache: 319 1687
Swap: 3999 0 3999

I have no idea how that much ram is even being consumed, I just installed a fresh copy of Kloxo and I have lighttpd and djbdns running and I did some configuration to mysql to make it lighter on ram.

EDIT: Never mind, I got it down to using 200mb ram. By the way, they only provide X64 Images and they can only install it as we don't have a control panel such as SolusVM

Except for the ram, it sucks. X64 uses way too much RAM. And no CP? No way to install OS? I would of not pay it. Expensive. One reason less.

Atum is stop giving the trail vps because its give maximum number of free trail vps.

If u want the free trail then u have to give deatil of ur credit card no.

They Give free trail for first month after first they charge for their services.

I got this mail from Atum.

In the majority of cases, X64 processes only use a trivial amount more ram than x86 processes.

Atum's free-VPS doesn't seem to work . I tried registering with them like in October and they still have yet to send me an e-mail saying that it went through correctly . Neither did I see anyone getting a VPS from them ...

I tried to get the trial from them but it honestly didn't work
They sent my back an email saying that they couldn't accept my request and asking for my credit card number so that the first month would be my free trial.
When really all I wanted the VPS for was for youtube tutorials I will pass.

not working for me

I surprisingly still have my trial VPS with them, going to be 2 weeks sometime during this week. http://server4.hostingpad.tk is the VPS

It's ok, definitely not worth the price. Like I said before, no control panel
