As long as I can convert it to real money I say have at it.  :D

The abuse is mainly people using the VPNs to download illegal content but it wasn't much and not a factor in our decision. As for the support, the number of tickets was also very low excluding the "cannot connect" issue I spoke of previously. Our Windows application worked perfectly and nobody...

free stuff plz or u guyz r dicks

So the only security exploit that was patched was one that allows admin to run PHP code on my server? Considering all of the admins in my WHMCS have root access to the server already this is not a huge concern.

We discontinued our VPN services mainly because of technical issues (there were also some bugs in the billing module but these weren't crippling most of the time). Basically, multiple times a month we would have some clients that couldn't connect to some of the VPN servers for whatever reason. I...

I was paying near $300 a month in FL, dropped it down to ~$85 when we moved to CO. Almost makes up for paying 2x more for a 2b2b apartment than my 4b2b mortgage.

nginx is going to a paid model with their free version removing features. Lighttpd doesn't get updated as often but it's still getting security updates. EDIT - It looks like they aren't limiting the HTTP features according to their chart so I might be completely off base.

Any chance of adding Lighttpd to the mix? I foresee it picking up some market share with nginx's recent announcement.

I use nail/mailx on all of my servers. I don't know why, just a habit from when I first started using linux years ago. I also got in the habit of creating a new user for each database that had only read access for backups since I don't like the idea of having my MySQL root password in plain text...

Here's a script I use to backup my VPSs: #!/bin/bash mysqldump -hlocalhost -uusername -ppassword database1 | gzip > /backup/db1.sql.gz mysqldump -hlocalhost -uusername -ppassword database2 | gzip > /backup/db2.sql.gz tar -zcf /backup/bin.tar.gz /bin tar -zcf /backup/boot.tar.gz /boot tar -zcf...

@scv We've still got 2 that were running strong. Luckily we had redundancy in case of hardware failure.

Yes. I really miss them and would love to get these installed into all of our DCs in the future. You're monitoring a lot more servers than we are. I don't have any graphs on our monitoring servers but we are running more than just Observium on it so that could be the cause but before we...

We had to purchase additional cores for our monitoring VPS because Observium loves spiking the CPU.

There is a HUGE difference between dedicated resources and shared resources. In most cases, CPU and network ports are shared resources for VPSs so using 100% of your non-dedicated resource is normally a violation of TOS because you can easily impact the whole node. As others have said, if you...

My younger brother tried quitting a year or 2 ago and that lasted about 6 months before it started affecting him to the point where he had to start back up. He said that the first few months are easy until the nightmares start and it begins to affect your sleep. He tried the e-cig route but it...

In Soviet Russia, drama wagon rolls you.

Same here. Haven't had any issues with it yet. 100% uptime according to NodePing. 23:12:00 up 80 days, 15:54,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

That is correct. I thought that was already mentioned though.

Keep in mind that the ksplice code that licensed companies are paying for is not the same as the open source code. Even before they stopped selling licenses, the open source code was 2 years behind the stable code that we being pushed.

That's reassuring...
