ChunkHost (http://tinyurl.com/3fw9lfb) is looking for beta testers. They're handing out 512 MB memory / 20 GB disk / 600 GB / 1 IP address bandwidth VPS instances for free right now.
From the FAQ --
- You have to enter a credit card number, but only to verify your identity (I assume they don't want multiple signups)
- They won't bill you for anything unless you give them permission to (i.e., you'll have to opt into further service after the beta ends)
- VPS instances are hosted on reasonably beefy servers with Xen installed, so as long as there isn't too much load, you have a lot of CPU to play with
- Images available: Debian / Ubuntu / CentOS
- Setup only takes a couple of minutes after signup
Even if you're mildly interested, there's really not much to lose.
So.. what do you get for the referral?

Haha. Sorry, it really wasn't my intention to sneak it by you. $5 if you complete the survey at the end.
I'm using it to run some really inefficient ruby code. I bet they hate me. :)
I made it a tiny url for a facebook post because it was my intention to sneak it by some facebook people. teehee.
