Competition: Win 3 months of free VPS/Container hosting - Closed!

The competition is now closed

#

Thank you to everyone who entered. If you won you will be contacted in due course.

Note: As of 27.05.2016 the rules have been relaxed to make it easier to enter the competition!

To celebrate my 100th post on bayton.org I’ve teamed up with ElasticHosts, the subject of my latest review, to provide one lucky reader with 3 months of free hosting on the ElasticHosts platform.

What you get

#

The winner can select a region of their choice and benefit from the following resources for the entire duration of the promotional period:

  • 2000 MHz CPU (VM)
  • 1024 MB Memory (VM)
  • 2000 MHz CPU (Container)
  • 1024 MB Memory (Container)
  • 5 GB SSD
  • 30 GB Disk
  • 1 VLAN
  • 1 Firewall
  • 1 Static IP (public IPs are provided for all servers via DHCP)
  • 10GB data transfer per month

This will allow provisioning of a number of containers, a couple of VMs and the ability to test-drive a vLAN and Firewall. All completely free for 3 months!
