During the “Provider Poll” conducted on Low End Talk a few months ago, I had won a $ 50 credit from Lunanode. This week I decided to test it out. I opted for the base system, a 1 GB plan with 16 GB SSD. Below are the results from the tests.
Account Setup and Creating a Virtual Machine
The process of creating an account was pretty straightforward. Below are a few screenshots showing the same.
