Hello! I am starting a new service which will offer free CraftBukkit 1.8.3 servers. The "Beta Testing" phase will begin on June 15th and run for a period of 30 days. I need 10 teams or individuals, who would like to have their own server to build and do with as they please.

What is offered:

One (1) free CraftBukkit 1.8.3 server with 1.5GB RAM (public release may see a decrease to 1GB RAM allotted, but these servers will not see any change)
Full FTP access (Upload custom plugins or worlds)
BukGet plugin installer
One (1) MySQL DB available per server
Multicraft Control Panel
Shared IP w/random port

What is NOT offered YET:

No other server version (Will probably add option for Spigot on public release)
Any other kind of upgrade(s) (Public release will provide opportunities for larger servers to expand, the server will grow with them. Dedicated IP's will only be offered to larger servers for a monthly fee. )

How can you offer free servers like this?

The servers will be Ad-supported. Each individual player will be displayed an advertisement in their chat every 5 minutes. It will be inserted into chat, it will not clear the history, nor will it lock the chat for any length of time. The timing will be adjusted on release to a random amount of time between 5 - 8 minutes, but for testing I need to know exactly when ads are expected. The plugin is automatically installed, and you will have no access delete, move or rename it. It is only 32kb, so will have little to no impact on performance. There WILL NOT be ANY ads for other servers, or server networks. I find that just plain stupid!

How can I apply?

You can express your interest in the comments below. I would appreciate any vouch's you have to offer, but please hold recommendations. Only express your own personal interest. If you have any kind of portfolio or similar, that would definitely help in the selection process. I will only be selecting experience server operators. This test cannot run if you need 3 weeks to figure out how to setup a server.

What is the benefit of doing the Beta testing?

These 10 servers will get a dedicated IP, and their servers will be listed on the homepage during the test, and to the end of August after going public.

Qualifications:

I own a registered LLC, that currently offers paid VPS and Minecraft hosting plans. I have been administering Linux for 3 years, and Minecraft for 2. I have the host node setup and configured, ready for action. Just need servers on it.

Please confine all discussion to the comments, except advertising inquiries. Those can be done via PM. Thanks and look forward to meeting all of you!!
