The free VPS approach doesn't work for most providers for a reason. To name a few:
1. It's hard to give valuable technical suggestions without certain access to the host node.
2. Truth is people only wants the free VPS, the rest is BS. So what exactly you don't get from clients' tickets but from here?
3. The only good thing is you can throw anything at these free riders. But time is money too. When it comes to a point when the problems you create (or the time requires to cooperate with you to figure out the problems) outweighs the free resources you give, good ppl (whose time probably worths more) would rather not to bother. So you end up with a server loaded with useless leaches, again.
4. The way I see it, this only works when you are really good at your stuff and know what you're doing. But then again why do you need to ask from anybody else, other than your own paying clients? |
