I wouldn't want any non-RAID server.  Have some with 2 drives (software raid ok) and I'll be more interested.  Would also prefer more powerful CPU, say equal to the i5-3570S that OVH has for $50/mo with 2x1TB and 8gb of ram.  Of if RTO for the hard drives is possible, then I'm quite interested. ...

If you don't have ipv6, there is an in-browser ssh client (java applet) available through the whmcs control panel that can connect to your vps via a listener on the host node by ipv4.  Use that to configure the sshd on your vps to listen to one of the NATted port numbers that were explained in...

My personal vps's are mostly openvz.  The non-openvz ones might as well be openvz for now.  There are a few programs I'm interested in that require Xen, but I'm not actively using them yet. Where I work we have a ton of Amazon EC2 instances and also some Rackspace Cloud, both of which use Xen. ...

Thanks, this is creeping me out a bit.  I do a fair amount of web surfing through proxy daemons on vps's, to help stay out of marketing databases and so forth.  I always figured LE or whoever could get my info from the VPS hosts if I were doing something dodgy (which I'm not), but they'd have to...

Buy a cert.  I'll pay for a year of it if it comes to that.  They start at $5 a year or so, geez.

Wow, that is pretty annoying.  What happens for an EC2-like setup, where you spin up a VPS for a few hours?  Does that count as a static address?  Is it possible to get a VPS on such a basis?  Are there VPS address pools that don't come from ARIN?  What about ipv6?  Thanks.

Please consider enabling SSL for the site, particularly for private messages.

Is this still available?  The price is great but could I get a little more rack space or power, if I don't need the /27 of IPv4 addresses?  It's for a personal server so I only have a use for one ipv4 address, and really could get by with just ipv6.  Thanks.

A third location is up!

I don't think of automatic failover as a characteristic of cloud providers.  It could only help with total failure of the VM anyway, which doesn't happen that often.  You need your own monitoring and failover for everything else. Characteristics I see as important: 1) Hourly billing: if you...

I've seen some episodes.  It's pretty good, sort of like Babylon 5 but about drug dealers.  No space battles though.

How about additional hard drives, preferably bigger ones?  I don't think I'd want a non-RAID dedi.

OVH now has its KS1 and KS2 plans available again in Canada.  They have revamped the plans a bit, sort of a lateral change, but I personally liked the old plans better.  I've had a KS1 for about 8 months now and an SP1 (old version) for 4 or 5 months, no hardware problems with either so far...

This is great news.  I don't need it at the moment but the day might come when I do.  And the Ramnode 128MB SSD VPS that I have in Seattle right now is already my favorite.

I thought a KVM container was just a giant user program running under timesharing like any other user program under a host kernel.  As such the host kernel should be able to control the total CPU consumption of the client container.  Is Xen better about this?  I remember hearing something to...

Is this some kind of deficiency in OpenVZ, that it can let a runaway process hose a hardware core, instead of limiting to some percentage?  Or if you want to allow cpu bursting, could you dynamically throttle if cpu stays above 80% for 2 minutes or something like that?

I gotta wonder how the dual L5639's compare in power consumption to Ivy Bridge or Haswell cpu's with the same amount of cpu speed.  If there's a 50 watt difference, that might be $100 per year per node or $300 in a 3-year lifecycle, depending on what you're paying per amp in the data center. ...

We use a lot of video chat where I work and it's fun.  Remote staff fly in every few months.  It's reasonably affordable. Usuallly by the time a business reaches your size (actually much earlier), it has company bank accounts.  So this transferring stuff just sounds perplexing.  Maybe the...

From what I hear, it's impossible to make money even with GPU mining for bitcoin (the electricity costs more than the coins are worth).  Maybe not even with FPGA.  ASICs are so much more efficient that they now dominate the mining scene. Litecoin is designed for CPU mining (memory intensive)...
