I had to look up what buyVDS stands for, I understand it's "Virtual Dedicated Server" - I am way more used to VPS.

Yeah VDS means that. Basically it was my birthday (18th to be exact) and someone from community gifted me that domain and I wanted to do something for this so its just a fun project that I have. I might have preferred buyvps.net domain but honestly I am happy that I implemented the idea.

Interesting thread here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/219094/showcasing-buyvds-n... - Now I understand "John Mode".

Haha yeah, you can read through the history. I have tried to be detailed in the procedure for anyone interested to read more through it, hope this helps :)

I wonder, don't you want the site to be indexed?

I must admit that its not as if I don't want my site to not be indexed but rather I don't know how to advertise it. I am thinking of adding more features to it perhaps in the future as well but most of my ideas are prototypes. I want to prove that I can build things (with AI currently but now in college, I would try to focus more so without AI)

What are some tips that you might give me if I do want my site to be indexed or more popular? I must admit that I know nothing about getting users on my websites! and so I'd like to learn this skill and I am more than happy to know these things.

On a tangent, I am also up for collaboration of data or anything similar if that might interest you. I believe in open collaboration and basically just like small hosting providers in a world of monopolized power like AWS etc., small hosting providers give me a glimmer of hope and I'd like to preach the message and do my part in spreading information about it, let me know what are your thoughts :)

AI can surely help you making the page more indexable. Not sure how much we want that, when it is accessible AI will just eat it. Adding to relevant forums can help, here, lowendtalk is good (I may promote FindHost there too). Currently limited in time, can not proceed with my project for a while.
