When you apply only look at your number of posts and the dollar credit at the bottom of your profile.  Ignore the rest of the info in the profile.  They're for those who have VPSs and have to make their 20 monthly posts.

The Giveaway is supposed to be on the 1st of the month and allocation of VPSs is made by the 10th, but if the Giveaway Manager has a time constraint - which is most of the time - the Giveaway happens later in the month.  None of us have perfect expectations. We just wait until the Giveaway is announced and apply for the VPS we want.  And then let it come to us in the fullness of time.  

I'm almost dead certain that since there has been an increase in the number of new VPS Plans (we got three added in addition to VPS 5 of last month), that there is a great chance that even with being new and having a lower credit, that you still stand a chance for a VPS.  If not, it is fun to apply and you just try again when the next Giveaway is announced.

If you have time, check out the Dynamo's template below for how to apply and you'll then see that it's the total number of posts you've made and the dollar credit number that you should focus on.  The rest is just to make the administration and vetting of the 20 monthly posts to keep the VPS easier.

Yeah, I've seen the template but it didn't really answer my questions. Someone got 'em above - the Try4VPS person got me squared away.

And, I figure I'll apply. If I don't get one, it's okay - I wasn't gonna be doing much this month anyhow. I would barely have time to get it set up and maybe get it secured and updated. Hell, I haven't even decided on a control panel for it.

I don't actually have anything constructive to do with it, so I'm going to poke at a Reddit clone and do some development. It'll help keep me busy over the winter months. I don't get to go outside much, 'cause crutches and snow don't really get along.
