Introduce yourself

Hello sir, I am joko from indonesia. I found this forum when search for cheap vps for my learning. I made VPS last month with KnownHost, very good price sir.

I run small wordpress for my family and learning docker also. Thank you very much sir to all people who write guides here, I learn alot from reading.

Fun fact: I stay awake until 3am for black friday deal but my card decline. Next day I find same deal still there. Very happy sir 🙏

Hi everyone!! Sorry if this is a dumb question but I found this forum through youtube, someone was talking about "low end boxes" and I didn't know what that meant so I googled it!!

I'm a computer science student and I just got my first vps last week from a provider I probably shouldn't name?? It's 1GB ram and I'm trying to learn linux properly. So far I've installed nginx and it actually works which is exciting!!

Fun fact: I thought "apt upgrade" would be fast and it took 20 minutes. I thought I broke something!!

Thank you everyone for all the helpful posts!!

Hello sorry total noob here

I found this place because I was looking for how to make a minecraft server for me and my friends. I don't know much about servers yet sorry. I bought a vps but I don't know how to connect to it?? I tried the ip but it says connection refused. Maybe I need to open a port or something sorry

Fun fact: I didn't know what ssh was until yesterday 😅

Sorry if this is wrong thread

Hello I am kasia from krakow. I found this forum when search for cheap vps with kvm not openvz. I have server with CloudCone and this is very stable, I use for learning kubernetes xd

I swap b and v sometimes sorry, my english is not perfect. I have also home lab with old laptop and this runs proxmox. I try to setup ha cluster but networking is hard, no? Source: trust me bro, I spent weekend on this xd

Yes, in server the networking is always problem, no? I am daria from warsaw. I found this forum when search for guide to backup to s3.

I run little script for backup on my szerwer with Docker. I use compose for everything, no swarm, no kubernetes, too big for my needs, no? My first vps was with Hostinger, nice little panel they have. Now I test Vultr for friend.

Cara, I am Gabriel from Sao Paulo but everyone call me pauloserver kk

I found this forum because I was going to buy another VPS and the deal site say "check da forum for code exclusive" and here I am véi. I have 3 servers now, all going to run Docker (https://docs.docker.com) because is easy, no? Before I use that cPanel thing but is too expensive cara. Kkkkk

Hi Nate! Don't worry, we all started somewhere. For connecting, you need SSH client — if you're on Windows, try PuTTY or just use terminal on Mac/Linux. Sent ticket yesterday to Vultr support asking them to add guide for beginners, made test order to check new panel also!

I am Ana from Madrid, found this forum through friend who runs Hostinger. I help with support there sometimes. If you need help with nginx or basic setup, feel free to ask! I follow threads here often, very nice community.

Cheers!
