[Cialug] Xen Hosting here in Des Moines

[Theron Conrey]

Background:

I talked a little about a project I was working on at the last LUG meeting to get some services of mine moved out of my house and into a "real" datacenter.  My thought was to lock down my home network and have a server at a CoLo facility or in a datacenter to host my mail and apache services, and associated services I use on the road.  This quickly changed as I realized the cost of putting a server in a data rack somewhere.  So in order to facilitate my own desire to get this stuff moved over, and not wanting to pay a service 30-50 bucks a month to get my own VM somewhere, I decided to start my own Community Xen hosting project.

----------
Update:

Server is built, hosting is arranged, and the only thing left is get some folks onboard, and get this thing racked.
Take a peek over to xenkibbutzdotcom, and see what we're doing.
The cost is going to be 25 dollars a month.  If you know someone outside the LUG that is interested, tell them it's 30, or have them email me.

There are only five slots remaining, so if you're interested, let me know soon.
Possible uses?

        Mail Server
        Web Servers
        Offsite Backups
        EyeOS (remote desktop)
        iFolder
        general tinkering
