I Got Free VDS Hosting For 1 year :)

[minnseoelite]

Ok well I have been searching all day long looking and dozens of shared and VPS hosting companies, reading reviews ect and on one of the review sites their was an image that said free VDS hosting at Jumpline.com......ok I thought yea right so I spent about 2 hours looking up and reading reviews and forum posts for jumpline.com and could not really find any real complaints.

I then went back to the hosting review site and clicked on the image which took me to the jumpline site. I read through all the TOS, features, ect and decided looks great just what I am looking for so I filled out the form and when I clicked the purchase button next to Total Amount: I see a big.......fat.......FREE :P

So it looks like as long as I stay under bandwidth and storage I got free VDS hosting for a year (my sites are far from their limits) :) Now for the cool part if anyone would like to get the same deal go here http://www.t10host.com/jumpline/jumpline.html and click on the image for the free VDS offer the offer is for their plan 2 which should be good for small to medium traffic sites. And if you want to upgrade to a plan with more bandwidth and storage you can do so and they will prorate the price from the coupon so you still get a huge discount. Well hope this helps out a few people

It sounds great but honestly, nothing in this world is honestly free. I'm sure you know that, or else you wouldn't have spent 2 hours reading up on the company. However, there has to be a catch. Bandwith isn't free, servers aren't free, it just doesn't happen. I'll check it out later when i'm on my other compter and read up on it for myself, but honestly, there has to be some sort of catch so that they don't lose money. Get what i'm saying. But thanks for posting anyway.

30GB of transfer? Bleh, I'd burn through that in a couple days. That might be your catch. Honestly, who would need a VDS and only transfers 30GB a month? Maybe I'm missing something too

Here are the details:

• 2,000 MB Disk Space
• 30,000 MB Bandwidth Transfer (!?!?)
• 150 POP Email Accounts
• Dedicated IP Address (nice)
• Host 20 Domains/Virtual Hosts
• 10 FTP Accounts

Well not all of us have high traffic sites like yourself :P and the point is say you have a site that gets 8k visitors a day alot of shared hosts will cut you off at close to that. Also if you read my post correctly I clearly state that this would be good for those out there with small to medium traffic sites that would like to have/try VDS hosting as it is more flexible than shared hosting.

I am aware of that and my guess is that they assume the only people looking for VDS hosting are those that have higher traffic/bandwidth sites that would run a good chance of accumulating BW overages.......The VDS also appears to come with about every app you would need installed but I am not sure yet maybe they plan on making profit from addons? I will keep this thread updated and let you know my findings

I am going to signup for this today. Free hosting just can't be passed up especially this kind of deal. I'd never run a myspace related site on it, but I have some others that would do nicely on this.

[Stkeys]

Hey Cyberkiller did you get free hosting ?

I went to check it out and it say's 1-Year Agreement (No Setup Fee) $119.40/yr
Spam & Virus Single User $1.99/mo :?

I didn't want to go through the sign up process in the hopes that it was free at the end of it...... I could have ended up agreeing to pay $119.40

There are a lot cheaper and better deals out there.

Well, that's not true!


www.freewebs.com (http://www.freewebs.com) - That's totally free on the HTML account I used to have with them there wasn't even ads on it (I think that has changed now tho)

www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com) - Pro account - They lose money on that (In some cases a LOT of money too!)

In the stores you get stands with them people giving out free testers of new kids snacks and crap....

There actually IS such a thing as FREE!

The way they "charge" you though, is instead of paying them in money you are paying them in time and knowledge. Word of mouth is the single MOST powerful form of advertising....The idea is, if you like it you tell everyone and then they BUY it, so they earn the money back that way!
However, you don't HAVE to, you can take the freebie and run, and not tell any friends therefore technically there is such a thing as a freebie :biggrin:

Actually, if you look at our own sites, we give away glitters for FREE...We earn money though, just through advertising instead....We wouldn't earn money without visitors though, and they get to us through links and WORD OF MOUTH! :)

I could write pages on this....I love it haha!

Another example is: Buy one get one free -
Stores lose MILLIONS through giving away free products, the majority of the time when they give it away on special offer...the freebie really does make them lose money, say a loaf of bread for 50p, they pay 30p for it...you get it 2 for 50p....they loose 10p and make no profit....It entices you into the store and then you buy some milk to go with the bread that's 90p and they got it for 20p they made there 10p back and 60p on top of that! Get it?! :)

I just thought i'd post and let everyone know I did get this deal. Everything went through pretty fast, too! :)

how are you people going to sleep at night knowing that your site is on free hosting :/ i wonder what the loads are like on the servers that host the free stuff.

[Precious]

Eh, I don't have any sites hosted on mine yet. I just got it while it was free. Hehe :)

I have had no problems with my site so far. This is my first VDS hosting so I did not know how to set up some things called support got straight answers right away no run arounds.

As for speed my sites run just as fast as any other host I have been with no complaints so far. Have not been charged a dime

I'm with ajay. I'd rather pay triple than live with the insecurity.

What insecurity its a promo they are a paid hosting company and you get the free year hosting from a promo code. After your one free year you get charged $199 for another year of hosting unless you cancel.
