![]() oic i might need to look at that, that would fall outside the free usage but from what you have said the cost are low anyways.
How many servers you have running? I think you said cost you about $12 a month, is that per server.

![]() Yep R2 is 64bit only. I've got just over 35GB free. so the OS is using the first 25GB.
Sorry got to fly off to band practice. See you later.

You'll also want to keep an eye on time. The time on virtual machines can wander quite a bit more than on physical. I generally install something like Tardis (http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/download.htm) and ask it to check the time at 10 minute intervals. You could also do a bit of a reg hack and ask Windows built-in NTP client to do the same if you wanted. Sorry should have mentioned this earlier but didn't think of it.

![]() Np will look into it, as i said i like the idea of running stuff from a different machine mainly because of the conflicts i get with multiple excel pages open running macros so it is not something i need on a permanent basis, my system runs 24/7 and network speed and usage is not an issue at the moment.

Privately, one in Ireland and one in Sydney now. Professionally many more. Yes the current spot prices work out to be about 17 cents a day per server then you have the storage and data transfer costs. Last time I worked it out is was around $12/month/server.

![]() Shaun, just a heads up.
If you're running Betting Assistant with excel which has macros, I think you'll need more memory (ram). 600mb will probably see it lock up or freeze, especially considering you'll be remote desktoping in at the same time. It would be o.k if it's a resource sharing or load balancing server, but I'm not sure that the ram is given the specs offered.

![]() The tests i am running this week are on my system, i am setting it up with different memory limits to see how it handles.
I am just weighting up if a cloud server is what i need or i am happy with my own system running a virtual XP.

Hi Shaun and Angry P, I'm interested in trying out this service, because I'm relocating to the US for a few years. Can you set up a server in Australia with the minimal setup just using Firefox to be able to use my accounts? When setting up an initial free account I'm asked to provide my credit card numbers, bit hesitant about that. Willing to pay for service I need but for the "free" service I'm a bit cautious, since I don't know if it's what I want? Any help is appreciated. thanks |

![]() Not sure about the CC as it was a while back when i set mine up, i know my costs if my sever is not running but set up is less then $10 a month and about double that depends on usage and of course configuration.
If it is through Amazon i have had no issues with them with setting up and changing different payment methods. As far as running it you still need to access it via Remote Desktop if you are using a windows server as i do, but this can be done from any PC or even a mobile device, but this all depends on what you want to use it for, i have Gruss and Office with excel installed on mine so i need to start it with my browser then once running i access it to start Gruss and excel, just have to be careful of lag, but also depends on the configurations, i have a micro server that runs very low specs as that is all i need.
