A question to the community (because does not fit on AU): Has anybody experiences with VPS (Virtual Private Server)?
I just heard of it and now am thinking about subscribing for a free VPS. Can you recommand some providers? I don't need either that much resources at the moment (fast processing would be nice, but e.g. a few GBs of HDD are enough) nor any advanced networking features. Currently I would just like to run a small Ubuntu on it and let it calculate some time-taking things. It is not too bad if the VPS would need a few days or weeks, I just don't want to have my own laptop running …
