Host1Free's free VPS campaign has been running for quite some time. They've deployed over 30 servers, allocating a total of 30,000 VPS instances (severe overselling... but it's free, so we have to bear with it). This attracted a massive number of user registrations, and most importantly, the official service doesn't discriminate against users from China. However, Chinese users have a characteristic: after getting the VPS, they play around with it until they get bored, then abandon it. Or if they obtain other VPS services (like EC2 or VPS.me, which was available months ago), they stop using it entirely. But Host1Free is quite diligent overall – whenever a server goes down, they restart all VPS instances. Consequently, those unused VPSes, each with 128MB RAM + 640MB Swap, waste resources....

One advantage of using your own VPS is the ability to enable SSL encryption, which ensures secure blog management in public spaces and reduces the likelihood of connection interruptions due to environmental factors. The nginx package in Debian 6's software repository comes with the SSL module pre-installed, making SSL setup straightforward. Simply duplicate /etc/nginx/sites-available/default as default-ssl and apply the following modifications: server { listen 443 ; server_name localhost; ssl on ; ssl_certificate lic.crt; ssl_certificate_key lic.key; } or (modify default directly as shown below): server { listen 80 ; listen 443 ssl; server_name localhost; ssl_certificate lic.crt; ssl_certificate_key lic.key; } Remember to replace lic.crt and lic.key with your actual certificate paths....

Most of you probably have free .CO.CC or .TK domains (I personally use CO.CC). Recently, an Australian domain registrar has been offering free .ASIA domains valid for one year. First, open the homepage: http://www.crazydomains.com.au/ . Find the domain search box on the homepage, select ASIA, as shown below. 0 ! C l i c k S e a r c h . Y o u ′ l l t h e n s e e " 0! Click Search. You'll then see " 0 ! Cl i c k S e a rc h . Y o u ′ llt h e n see " 0" next to yourname.asia. If it shows $1, you'll need to modify your IP address. Next, click Add To Cart, then Register Selected. After that, create an account (I won't detail this). Click Next. You'll then be prompted to purchase add-on services—note these cost money! Deselect all options! Keep clicking NEXT! Finally,...

I saw the news about Host1Free VPS online long ago and wanted to apply. However, when I tried from my home computer, it showed "Only registrations from unique IPs allowed." Then I used Go^_^Agent, submitted successfully, but got rejected. After repeated attempts, I wasted Gmail + Hotmail 2 + QQ 2 accounts... Later I told imbushuo about it. He applied directly from the school computer lab and succeeded. Just like that... Eventually I realized it was a dynamic IP issue—applications from dynamic IPs would fail. This time I applied from my dad's office and succeeded. 128MB RAM, 10GB hard drive—only good for tinkering. Probably can't even handle WordPress. IP: 94.249.250....
