Nothing heavy.

I use it primarily as a web server for light application needs.  Right now, we 
have Trac operating on it for a company project we're implementing.  My 
associate is also setting it up as the beta site of our main web site - 
basically LAMP lang.

There are limitations alright, like I can't roll out my own kernel module.  For 
the price I pay, I don't mind -- I'm getting what I'm paying for.

Also, I'm more after the bandwidth, as I also use it to download from the web 
when downloading direct via PLDT DSL is slow.  And I picked this provider 
mainly because I could access it quickly from PLDT DSL -- during the time that 
earthquake in Taiwan broke every telco's main fiber optic connections to the 
world I used it as a proxy server so I didn't much suffer from slow Internet 
access then.

Subject: Re: [plug] does PLDT offer VPS?

What do you get for USD 9.00/month?

One of the things with pissed me off about OpenVZ hosting at VPSLink
is that the 64MB virtual server is NOT EQUIVALENT to a 64MB Linux box.

Because a 64MB Linux box has SWAP and can demand-page less-used
applications. A 64MB OpenVZ box is really 64MB hard-limit.

Kind of really strangulates what you can and cannot do.

Even the 128MB OpenVZ is not great at all. But I can't afford $50 plus
per month for a real server just for my hosting playground (so I don't
play).
