The same concept can be said about donating software/server mirrors. You give back to the community but at the cost of several hundred dollars a month. However what is having your name on CentOS or Ubuntu's Website worth?

There were very bad news about you & your hosts. Are they all doing good now?
The ones eSupun and I give away are too small to use for a big site anyway. It's hard to get apache, php and mysql running at the same time even with almost no traffic.
I don't remember bad news about any of Rsmiley's hosts.
Although I sorta understand your point, does this post really have any place in this thread? Oh and just to inform you, you can change your signature yourself rather than putting it in the post as a fake signature.I would just like to add-
Check out http://xeon-network.com now (the original replier to this thread). Non-existent after a very short time. Let this be a lesson to all that we need to be very careful who we rent web space from.

@Seraphim, why is it a shame to offer promotions? how is it a discredit to the industry? A free vps is no different then any other product, I mean you can't tell me that cell phones are $9.95 but many are sold at that price. I respect your opinion but I openly disagree.
Hosting companies can't even afford to offer Free shared hosting service, and its about VPS. Everyone knows what a VPS Hosting values nowadays. Its a next step after shared hosting. Nobody can offer a VPS for free and if someone offered either they will face a big loss or will fail again.
Possibly some companies turn a profit, but I have to say SonalAher brings up a good point when he talks about "discrediting" this industry.
I've noticed that year after year, the rising percentage of hosts popup and disappear - it is disturbing when you consider how their users are just getting shuffled round and round. The idea of keeping a webhost for an extended period of time is (in many consumer eyes) a bizarre idea unless you go with a huge hostgator-like company.
It is sad that this industry has been tainted by a lot of inexperienced folks offering services they cannot maintain, financially or otherwise.
I realize this rant is trending away from the idea of free VPSs, and I certainly don't suggest that every free hosting or free vps service cannot maintain itself or turn a profit, but such a large magnitude of hosts manage to fail. It is so bad that when I shop for hosting I am so weary of every host.
Haha, VPS are never free, you can get it for at least a coup[le of weeks, then everything i being cleaned for another user to use it...
