I can see this is going to turn into nothing but a flame war; If anyone is interested in such services you may contact me for details.

What a hoax. For 30$ a month you can hardly find anyone to clean the wind shield of your car.

nuclear, don't sweat people that don't even no where the "$" sign belongs...

Please repost your offer, most people that would be interested in your offer, will just look over the BS others want to TROLL up!

rcs, maybe you should put your car in a garage so the birds don't seek revenge on you! :angry:

True, true.

Basically I'm offering to monitor a server, keep the software up to date, maintain a firewall, and assist the owner in anything else that I can for $30/month. In short I'm offering full remote management of a server for that price. This offer is designed for those who are new to dedicated servers or do not have time to watch over every aspect of the server. No hoax, no false promises. For anyone else who would like to discredit my offer, please don't bother posting; I am only interested in hearing from people who would like this service.

rcs, I don't know where your getting you car washed. I can get a wash, wax, clean, scrub... whatever for less... heh.

Nuclear, good luck. :)

Maybe it's not a hoax, whatever.
30 dollars are far less then expected to this kind of work, by giving such price, not only he'll have to work harder to get the cash, but he'll influance the market value, which allready is going down the drain.

Full remote server management for $30?
Please, post your qualifications here. How long have you been doing this ? How long have you been working with Linux?

Like everyone else I'd say $30 is entirely too low of a price. Have some decency.

Speaking as a 5+ year veteran of the Linux game, and one that's been administrating servers for quite some time now, I've got to say your offer is too good to be true.

It takes FAR more than 5 hours a month to administrate a server properly, including log checking, security ballancing, updating software, dealing with the technically challenged via helpdesk, so you're saying you want < $6 an hour??

You'd do better posting your own references and experience, a resume of sorts if you want any serious offers, especially since this board is ripe with children who claim they can do everything, but in fact do vey little, or screw up a server completely on contact.

wolfstream: Here we go again. Chicken has already warned you about this too. ;)

How's this. Vline is offering a service. He is posting exactly what the service includes and the price. I think others are going beyond what is needed to discredit the thread starter.

If you have an issue with a claim made, state it, and that's it. I expect that a future thread will not have people bitching up and back, calling eachother frauds, going into servers, etc. If this turns out to be impossible, the people responsible for making this impossible will be removed from the forum.

Any questions?
If someone wants to offer the same kind of service that you offer, and they want to charge $X/mth for the service, then that's their right. You have no right to crap in their threads. It makes you look incredibly unprofessional.

Just be cool and let them go and let their clients find out the hard way that you can't get much for $30/mth. :)

AB, I'm FAR from crapping in someone's thread. I gave the man some advice, that's all.

If you want to offer something, you need to post your qualifications, it's standard practice.

If you want to offer something for such a low price, it's your choice, others have already commented on that though.

I'm not crapping on anyone's thread here. I suggest you get your facts straight, AB.

Nuclear, you need to post more than "I want a job" if you want to be taken seriously. Your credentials, your experience are important, ESPECIALLY with you being a newbie (not saying I'm not mind you).

AB, take your flames and accusations elsewhere. I don't care that someone offers the same service I do (I didn't even point that out in this thread and won't.. YOU did).

My facts are straight. Do you want me to dig up all the posts you've made recently when someone offers a service like this? Let's talk numbers of posts. Yes, we call that crapping in someone else's threads. Even worse when they're advertising their services etc. :)

BTW, I complately agree with you. I'm just saying let them find out the hard way that you get NEXT TO NOTHING for $30/mth. Hence I said -

. . . . . . contact me for details. How do we do that?
Do you have PM notification turned on?
Do you have an email address?
Can we only contact you via this thread?

So. I suppose if someone was to offer this service for $500/hr ... you would say its too expensive? :rolleyes:

He charges $30/Mo for his service he is going to provide to you. He NEVER said he was going to work for only one did he?

You start off with $30/Mo the better known he becomes to more potetial income available and you said it "The market is already going down the drain". Thus you cannot charge ****loads of money for something with doesn't take that long anymore (except if your a car macanic :rolleyes: ).

I remember the time when an OC-3 was at least $150,000 a month.... now you can get a gige for $10,000 a month :eek:

Industries change, as more come into it prices have to go lower (or higher if they price fix :rolleyes: ). :D

Basic Translation: Its his service not yours to provide.

Nuclear, pay no attention to the flamers. Could you please send me some information on your qualifications and experience. I run a free hosting service of 2 servers and could use some extra help, particularly securitywise, as my experience with securing up a server is rather limited.

I pay my server admin $30/month. If something breaks, he fixes it. That is a IF. He has never failed me yet, even for $30.

i second tazzman,

please post your qualifications or email them to me, as i might be interested.

wolfstream: shouldnt you be adminning boxen right now? =]

OK, one last time.

A server admin should NOT be posting in another server admin's ad saying, "What a hoax." and other unrelated dribble. Do we get that? Do we understand why or do I have to spell it out?

Are you looking to hire a sys admin? I assume this is the reason you want to know his qualifications. Doesn't make much sense to me as you offer this service yourself.

Like everyone else I'd say $30 is entirely too low of a price. Have some decency.
Did he ask you to critique the amount he charges?

Speaking as a 5+ year veteran of the Linux game, and one that's been administrating servers for quite some time now, I've got to say your offer is too good to be true.
Speaking as the moderator of the forum who has warned you before, I've got to ask what you don't understand about not posting in other people's threads? What don't you understand?

AB, I'm FAR from crapping in someone's thread. I gave the man some advice, that's all.
He doesn't want your advice, and no one else wants to read it either. If you wanted to give him advice, you could contact him privately. You could then go on to tell him to have some decency and that the offer is too good to be true, etc., and tell him how long you've been a vetran of the Linux game. I'm sure he'd love to hear about it.

If you want to offer something, you need to post your qualifications, it's standard practice.
And who would most likely be the one to request his qualifications? Another sys admin or a potential client? Hmmmm.

If you want to offer something for such a low price, it's your choice, others have already commented on that though.

I'm not crapping on anyone's thread here. I suggest you get your facts straight, AB.
You're crapping IMHO, and I don't want to see another post by you in someone else's ad.


nuclear, please contact us about placing another ad, we'll leave this one locked and the people who posted in this thread won't be posting in your thread again.
