Not really, but here's the deal.

www.gogrid.com It's similar to Amazon's cloud computing system (EC2).

When you sign up, use any of the following promotional codes:

GGED
GGRF
GGSB

and you'll get $100 in free credit. Make sure you use a VCC (not your real credit card number) so you can get these credits over and over.

Cheapest server is $0.19 per hour for a windows platform, which is more than most of you need. That comes out to 21 days of free VPS service. Then rinse and repeat.

I'm currently using this to run some backtesting and optimization runs. Will report back with my results.

Thanx for sharing this ron
O_o they charge per hour o_O
$0.19/hr for RAM, and $0.50/GB for Outbound data transfer

Btw will they take any money from the VCC since my VCC kindda empty? ^_^

Don't go over that $100 free credit and you'll be fine.

So we need to cancel the subscription before 21 days (or 20 days to be safe) right?

OK, i'll give it a try,
but i thinx i'll buy a new VCC for it instead of using my old VCC,
afterall it only cost $7~$8, not bad to tryout VPS for 20 days

Beiing from foreign lands I just don`t know what VCCs are or where to get. And google will offer me Volvo, which is a good car.

So WHAT is a VCC, WHERE can I get one, any problems as NRA (non-resident-alien) to obtain one?

And -as always- thanks a lot, RR!

VCC - virtual credit card

Basically, your credit card company assigns to you another credit card number. The merchant will never know that the two numbers are linked. I don't know if this works outside the US, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Hmm after filling up the form including the CC, i get to this page:

But i don't see any connection in progress
And i don't get any email from them.

Maybe you'd wanna call them Adam?

It takes 5-10 mins to load a server.

Making an international calls might be a bit costy for me
Anyway i already forgot which email i use to register and i also forgot my username & password, since they never send anything to my email i can't search it in my emails.

Thanks anyway, may be the others will be able to make use of gogrid's free VPS
I guess i'm going back to a paid VPS where i'm familiar with ^_^ i just hope they will give 50% discount again
