Title: Server renting...
Post by: Daimarus on February 25, 2007, 02:02:46 pm: I wonder, if there is a free-server-renting page... If someone knows that kind of thing, please answer in this topic...

If there is no such thing like free server (except making my computer a server...) please, tell me if there are pay-by-SMS renting services... But - not only from USA and/or UK - I wonder if there is pay-by-SMS server, that I could rent even from Albania...

Thank you...

Post by: Daimarus on February 25, 2007, 03:33:20 pm: No... I've heard about paying by SMS method... Like, you send SMS with "code" and you rent a server for e.g. month... sending SMS IS payment method... I am just looking for a server to rent in this way because I don't have credit card or sth...

...What would need to be done to get sms transactions through to server owners?
(Because there are many more willing customers who have access to a mobile than a credit card)

Post by: EnEsCe on February 25, 2007, 08:02:52 pm: I used to do that via SMS/Phone, but the carrier always take around $2/$3 fee's out of it so its not worth it... As far as "free" renting goes, you can temporarily "book" one of my servers at this page:

http://enesce.com/index.php?page=bookserver

It is really limited, maximum uptime is 1 hour, has to be passworded etc etc. But hey, its free.

Anyways I want to rent server and pay-by-SMS for him. I am just asking, if there is such thing (if it is, tell me about it/ send me a link)...

Post by: Daimarus on March 02, 2007, 02:03:33 pm: EnEsCe... you mentioned about that server renting (by SMS) in one of your posts. You said, that it was expensive, but anyways I want to know where did U rent it :)

If you forgot about it or whatever else I think that I should seriously think about renting server (you have one of the cheapest and never-crashing servers ;) ).

Post by: EnEsCe on March 02, 2007, 06:04:29 pm: Daimarus: I used Allopass (http://allopass.com/) to accept SMS/Phone payments, but I chose not to continue with them because their fee's for it were around the $5 mark, and considering most orders are $6/$7 it wasn't worth the hassle.

Post by: sakae on March 02, 2007, 06:06:56 pm: why not just make the ordinary fee + $5?
