You don’t have to pay a lot of money in order to get OpenSim land. In fact, many grids offer free land to attract visitors and new residents. The hope is that when people find that they like the grid, some percentage will pay to upgrade to larger plots or entire regions, or just spend money with in-world merchants and event organizers. Either way, it’s a great way for new people to check out OpenSim, or to find out what it’s like to have a home on a new grid.

If you’re a little bit more ambitious, you can set up a free DreamGrid on your home computer. As a general rule of thumb, you can easily have up to 16 regions, and up to five simultaneous visitors if you have a decent home Internet connection — just remember to turn the hypergrid option and you and your friends can teleport between your home-based grid and most of the other public OpenSim grids.
