...and no, this isn't an OTcalc poll in disguise.
I found this awesome VPS plan (Economy, here:
http://www.hostfolks.com/hosting/vps/), and I'm in a need of a domain/subdomain to go with it.
There are 2 I've registered:
alberthrocks.us.to (my username)
withg.us.to (with vigorous and enthusiastic enjoyment = with gusto)
If you are suggesting another domain, it has to be from freedns.afraid.org, preferably ending with .us.to.
I need a consensus by Sept. 14, 12 PM EST/EDT!
Well, that's it folks!
From Cemetech and this site, alberthrocks.us.to got 5+0=5 votes, and withg.us.to got 4+2=6 (first num is Omni, 2nd is Ceme). And of course, Netham45's lovely "Other" selection is nullified, due to no name specified.
Needless to say, withg.us.to is the domain name!
No worries though - alberthrocks.us.to will still point to the server, but the VPS settings will say withg.us.to.
Thanks for voting!
I'll keep ya updated, and when ready, might let some peeps onto my VPS!
I like WithG.us.to, since I suggested it.
@KermMartian: haha, true
I've ordered the VPS!

Now for the magical setup email...
Your plan is quite decent! One day I might have to switch to VPS or even dedicated hosting myself. :/ I look forward to seeing how you like it.
From the vps I have used I think there lovely things for the price. ^_^ only thing though is your the security your the well every thing so you make the web server secure you make the site secure and if you get a virus its YOUR problem.
unlike on a shared hosting plan where they will try to help you a bit sometimes....
albertho dont forget about teh 1337.cx domain on freedns.afraid.org

hehe, I think you were either very sleepy or drunk when writing this reply.
I can easily harden the server with plenty of virus scanners and firewalls, so no worries. And VPSes do have the nice control, so it's worth the effort and price.
Alberthro, no, he always writes post like that. If you're running Ubuntu, then virii aren't too much of a problem yet, although a good firewall would be a good idea.
You got a total steal of a deal! 6 dollars for a domain name. (LUCKY) I paid twice that for the domain name, then 40 dollars on the hosting. Good service though...

No, it's $6 per month for the VPS hosting, or $72 per year. His domain is one of the free domains (I have a *.us.to domain that I use for my home networ).
