Care to elaborate why RAID 5 will be nothing but trouble?
Indeed, SSDs should have no trouble at all with a consistent 5MB/s of data to write, since many can write a hundred times faster than that.

RAID 5 is popular because of its low cost combined with enhanced performance. You need three drives to make RAID 5 work, and it tolerates one drive failure.

I still think that the panic over the flash writing limit on SSDs is unduly alarmist. If you need more I/O...
Whoa, why are we bringing back a topic from July 2013? To increase post count?
Anyway, now that we're talking about free self-hosted project management software, can I ask y'all what you think of Redmine? I still use Redmine for project management. Maybe I'm backwards and stuck in 2009, but...
**sighs** … another compromised website. Customer, why don't you update from WordPress 2.8 already?!
This happens more often than you'd think. -_-
I've even had some customers try to upgrade from Joomla! 1.0 to Joomla! 1.5… geez.

We started doing business in the web hosting industry to bring innovative new features to VPS hosting. Lots of Virtuozzo/OpenVZ hosts out there, probably because it's very cheap to maintain.
After working with Virtuozzo, KVM, Hyper-V, and Xen, I found that I really liked Xen for how...

This website keeps returning HTTP 504 errors on occasion.
@MannDude, are you sure the CPU is the bottleneck when your site spawns PHP processes that your production VM cannot handle? If it's a virtual machine, you could add more CPU power to it to keep the site alive, couldn't you?
I'd...
There were more HTTP 504 errors earlier.
For those who don't know about the other topic that @MannDude is talking about, it's We should continue our discussion in that more descriptive thread.

It's a perfect match to what's described here except for the price, so it could be that @jvkz got the hardware moved to a Dedirack XL or made some custom deal to be able to offer such a low price.
For those ordering, I'd be wary of how much bandwidth is guaranteed, since that 1Gbps might be...
Hmm, I'd consider that almost concerning. I would suggest not adding any more VPS containers to that host node or I/O would become uncomfortably slow.
What's the disk hardware like? Model? Size? RAID? Perhaps the community here can help you identify a new hardware rearrangement to help...
