Home connection is cheap, commercial connections are marginally higher, but both are usually provided on a best-effort basis with a slight difference in the contention ratio. The real expensive ones are the bandwidth at DC, especially those with good regional peering/upstreams. Although the...

It is not possible to get Windows 8 (in fact all MS client OS) properly licensed on VPS, not with SPLA at least. And SPLA is the only licensing model for hosting providers.

Well, this thread reminds me of this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g0XMx1sFEA

Looks like it's back online now. And yeah I do have a VPS with them at LA, which was unreachable a while ago.

Anyone experiencing difficulties in reaching the hostigation website? There appears to be massive packet losses from the traceroute result.

I for one, still can't figure out why dd result matters when it comes to VPS. Unless I'm doing a lot of writes to the disk all day long, I'm not going to do this dd test any time. However, if I'm doing that much of I/O to the HDD, most likely I will get an abuse warning before anything.

Saw this posted on LET and received the email too. Anyone know what happen to them?

Keep getting their promotional emails, and then I did some checks on where the emails were blasted and where the sites were hosted. The owner with the email address ([email protected]) holds quite a number of domains, including but not limited to loveutiffany.com, tiffanycrown.com...

Tried to upgrade the firmware of a 5405Z the other day using arcconf. The upgrade failed, and that leaves me with a card that refused to show up on the boot screen. I then tried to do the upgrade using mode 0, but received a complaint instead, saying firmware I have on the USB drive doesn't...

Hmm... just received a notification saying LA nodes are going to be removed. This is no good... :huh:

Hmm... there's something that I always forget until I restart the node. :) virsh autostart [name of vps].

It is not only Cantonese, there are more than one dialect groups that use the surname "Ng".

Hmm... where did you get that idea from? In general CPU resources are limited and therefore shared by all virtualized containers, by default. So unless the provider specifically mention that it's a dedicated resource, otherwise I'd take it as shared.
