5-Day Trial Free VPS

Hi all. Most people have heard of Elastichost's 5 day VPS trial's. These can be used over and over again = free VPS! However, there are many people who really don't know how to set one up. So I am going to show everyone step-by-step! (Don't trust people who set them up for you, alot of the time they set them up, let you run the bot, and then hack you ).

~How to make an account~

Ok, so first we are going to be making an account! Head to Cloud Hosting & Flexible Virtual Private Servers by ElasticHosts - Cloud Computing and select 'Free cloud hosting trial'.




Now, before we fill in our information, to make multiple accounts the best thing to do is to go to http://www.hidemyass.com and make a throwaway email account. This is so you can make multiple servers without going through all the shit of signing up to hotmail etc.





Just make any old email and select the expiry to whatever you want.





Ok now go back to your form on Elastichosts and fill it in using the email you just created. Make sure you enter a valid phone number to receive your password. You will not get charged for the text. If you are from the UK make sure to put +44 before your number, I'm not sure about the US and other country's though. If you get a message saying they have ran out of trial accounts, just change your zone/server in the 4th section.







You will now recieve a text, and a few minutes later, an email. Make sure to note both parts down and put them in order or which it says. (Sometimes it only sends you an email for some reason).





Mine was Email as the first part, and then text, put these together and this will be your password.

It will follow the lines of (this is just random numbers I pressed ); 8fW1h7Ui

Now scroll down the Elastichosts page, and there will be a section 'Account use' under that will be 'ControlPanel' Click that.





It will then ask for your email and password. Insert your email+text put together into the password box, and then enter your throwaway email in the email box.

~Your ControlPanel Settings~

This is a very easy part. Once logged in your screen will look like this;




Delete the pre-made server, copy the settings on the picture, and click 'add'
You will get a box with your server, and a box with your drive. Under the drive it will say imaging, wait until this is finished (keep clicking refesh), and then click edit on your server (not the drive).





You will now get a screen like the following; among the settings will be your 'VNC3' password, change this to whatever you want and hit configure, and then start.





It should then take you back to your control panel. Minimize this page as you need it later.

~Programs you need and how to use them~

Now we need to download a piece of software called tightvnc. We use this to control and connect to our VPS through our pc. If you cannot find the download link, here is a Direct Download. Scan it with whatever you want, its not even my program.

Go throught the install wizard until its finished installing, open it up and it will look something like this;



You don't need to mess with any settings.

~Setting up your VPS~

Ok. Now remember that page of your control panel? Open that back up and copy the IP adress into the bar on TightVNC. And then click connect. A box will come up asking for your password. Type in your VNC3 Password you changed a while back.






Once you have done it will come up with some nerdy command prompt thing. (You can close your elastichosts page now, the TightVNC will save the IP address, so you only need to remember your password, if you can, you will never have to open that control panel again.




Now I will talk you through what you have to type, otherwise it will take far too long.

Ok first type 'root', then type 'passwd' to set a password, you need this to access ubuntu. When you type your password, nothing will come up, click enter, it will as you to retype, again nothing will come up, click enter and it has been set. Then enter: "sudo apt-get update" Then follow this up with 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'. It will go through some code, and then say 'Continue Y/N' press 'y' and then enter. Now wait for this install (may take a while).

Ok now start your very own server! Type in 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' The server will now start and ask you for a username and password, type in root, and then the password you set earlier (passwd).

You will then get the Ubuntu Linux Desktop!



Now to install Powerbot/RSBuddy/Nexus.



If you can't find Java SE Binary, then we're gonna have to download it! Goto Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center -> Get Software -> Developer Tools -> Java -> OpenJDK Java Runtime -> Install, it will then start installing, once done exit that.





Now Right click on your client and open it with Java SE Binary, it will now open!

If it STILL doesn't open (gay VPS), then your gonna have to enable permissions. This is really easy, all you have to do is right click the .jar and select Properties -> Permissions and tick the box 'Allow executing files as programs'

.:In-depth guide on how to install the Nexus client:.


1) Provided that you have installed JDK, and have not ignored the step, you can now dl the nexus bot.
Navigate your browser to Autofighter.org, rsbots.net, or some other impsoft vendor, and download the client. As of 4/11, their servers should be back up so you don't have to worry about them not letting you download.
2) Extract the files to desktop or documents with the shitty ubuntu extractor
3) Right click the Install-mac-linux.sh file -> properties -> permissions -> check the box that says "allow execution as program"
4) As you probably have guessed, you will need to use install-mac-linux.sh to install the bot.
5) Once you're done, double click run.linux.sh and everything from there on should be the same as what you're used to. Enter your auth and have fun botting.
6) The server problem seems to have been fixed (current as of 4/11), and the bot should load worlds like normal.

You dont get unlimited :/ its 3 trials per phone number, but still 15 days free is nice.

 

Nice guide, no one can complain if it's free? Does it run bots well?

I might actually set one of these up later and see how they are, thanks.

 

I set up 3 of these, and seeing as they give you 1GB of RAM, I can only run 1 bot per VPS. But it still is an awesome deal, I'm able to run 3 more bots on top of my Warp 3.

The bots run fine, by the way. One of the VPS' I set up had a sorc bot running for a good 12 hour proggy and I had 94% success when I last looked. I've also got a kMiner and autofighter bot on VPS' and they also are running smooth.

 

Really?
I've been using the same number for 4 trials now.

 

this is great, thanks. one bot run's for me on my 512mb vps

 

Just finished setting up my VPS, but whenever I run the bot & get to Runescape, I can't see anything but blur.

 

might try this later.

 

Thanks for the share ^_^.

 

having problems, if someone can help me, when i hit sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start, nothing happens..

 

Same, I can't get it to work either. I think I'm missing some commands or something.

 

trying it now, awaiting on 'QEMU' to do all it's code shit thanks for this, muchly appreciated!

 

Did you follow this completely?

 

Yeah man :/

I tried with new email same number and it told me there were no trial accounts available atm, At first i thought it was just due to two many people abusing it, then i tried few days later with same result so i tried a new number and it worked ,

 

nice guide, you should probably post it in the correct guide forums, here a link

Thank's! Hopefully they don't catch on and limit the trial service.

 

Guys, don't follow the instructions on how to set it up.

Use Kero's guide. I used it for all 4 of the trials I set up, and it works amazing.

I found this in the e-mail for the free trial, does this mean it'll still work or not?

 

Well I'm using one of their VPS to bot, as we speak. So yeah, it works.

 

How long have you had you VPS up for? I had mine up for only 1 day & they closed it lol.
Also, which location did you pick?
