@ikk157  That unfortunately won't work as the VPS has to be the sponsor's VPS.  It's a promo model used to market their VPS.  So logically they would like the back links to come from their VPS.  That is where they will be doing their checking.  

To get all confusion out of the way when members participate in a Giveaway, we will be asking them at the application stage to submit a plan how they are going to execute the Sponsor's requirements. Just to make sure they understand what the requirements are, can visualize the execution of the backlinks and are committed. I'd imagine if a member would think there's going to be a space limitation, it can be clarified at the application stage.  We're not talking about a big Website here.  A single static page would be sufficient.  When I checked through the VPSs there is not a single VPS under 16 GB in size.  Average is 20GB plus.  Any way, the requirements will have to be brought into consideration when the member applies for a VPS.  The member will have to figure that out ahead of creating the VPS for the member.  If he thinks he can't accommodate this, then obviously the VPS he wants to apply for won't work for him.

What i meant by resources wasn’t the storage space that the website would use up... because as you mentioned, a simple backlinks page won’t consume any space... so storage isn’t an issue.

What i was worried about the most was the VPSs with low RAM. Specially the ones with 1GB of RAM. My HostLease VPS 3 (not the post4vps VPS 3) has that much RAM and it struggles, RAM-wise, to even run OS tasks such as using apt... it literally runs out of RAM! So i could only imagine what a web server would do... specially to those who run other RAM-hungry tasks (such as game servers) on their low RAM VPS.

But you are very right, they should’ve already put that into consideration before even applying to the VPS.

And I like the new method of verifying the backlinks right during the application stage. That will prevent any future issues regarding this matter. And i do understand that it adds more workload to you guys... which is quite sad considering that you always did your best to decrease the giveaway manager workload. Kudos to your constant efforts.
