I've always wanted my own dedicated box to use as a web and mail server, but can't host one from home because of several reasons.
I found this dedicated server for only$30 a month . It has the following specs:
AMD Athlon 2000+ CPU
256 GB RAM
200GB Bandwith
40 GB HD
1 IP Address
Many free Linux distros to choose from as well as BSD.
I've been looking for a way to learn web hosting with Linux and this looks like a good opportunity to do so.
I've been thinking about running a web proxy with Adsense to generate some money to cover the cost.
The cons of my plan are:
I know very little about Linux (I am thinking of learning as I go)
Setup is $69
Only 2 support tickets/month. Additional support tickets cost $15 each.
Only 1 manual reboot a month, extras are $29 each. However, you can reboot the server all you want from a web control panel.
What do you think of my idea? Also, should I go with Linux or FreeBSD?
