Edit: I don't mean to be snarking so much or taking the thread off topic, so sorry about that.  Good job on the SSD plans.  I'm using SSD's in almost everything now.  I don't want to use hard drives any more except for bulk storage.

It looks to me like that passmark score may be for a dual L5639 system, i.e. both sockets put together.  Could it be that slow? Do you know of some E5 motherboards with 24 dimm slots, so you can put in 384GB without using 32GB dimms?  I didn't realize those existed. I'd sure like to have...

Wait, do VPS vendors routinely give client names (matched to IP addresses) to ARIN or anyone else?  I'm not doing anything sketchy on any VPS's but I still would have thought this was private info, at least unless there was an actual problem.  :(

I ran a search engine for a while, which ate basically all the ram of the 8gb dedicated server that it ran on at the time. It didn't use a ramdrive per se, but its index set had to be paged in all the time for certain aggregated queries to be reasonably responsive.

Is that 8 dedicated cores?  What exact CPU model and frequency?  Do you have more of them?  Is that hosted at Colocrossing?  Thanks.

Oh yeah, I didn't take in the "per location" thing.  That's not good.  If I have multiple vps's I'd want them to have unrelated addresses.  I had always thought a standard user allocation was /112 and I'd be fine with that, but it should be a separate /112 (or /96 or whatever) for each vps...

IRC networks are operating on a presumption of a /64 per person?  Sheesh.  I wonder how long it will take for ipv6 address exhaustion to become an issue like ipv4 has now.  Is a /64 independently routable?  It will be interesting having something like that on $15/year vps's.  If the existing...

I don't have any special stuff for a power outage.  If the power goes out, it goes out, I can live without home internet for a while.  I have enough flashlights and batteries in the house (not particularly for power outage purposes) that I can get around ok, and I have a powerbank thingie that...

1. OVH, cheap plentiful dedicated servers.  Pluses: resources per dollar in the SP1 and SP2 plans are near unbeatable.  DDOS protection supposedly coming soon.  More payment options supposedly coming soon.  IME their support is not as bad as some people say.  Minuses: currently very intolerant...

Wait, what do you mean about moving on to other things?  Is something happening to ipxcore???  :o

The pure SSD vps are just astonishing.  I've lost interest in HDD VPS except for bulk storage.

I've never heard of vps restricting port 993 either inbound or outbound. 

Title says 128MB SSD but review is actually about 256MB SSD-Cached. I have Ramnode's 128MB SSD-Cached and it works fine, it does what I'd expect from a small VPS, and it's quite the bargain with the 35%-off coupon, given the 50GB of disk space. I also have the 128MB pure SSD plan and that's...

1. Pretty much anything written in java or jvm languages (clojure, scala) needs a lot of ram. 2. Since (at good hosts) there are fewer high-ram vps to a node than with low ram, you tend to get more cpu and i/o performance even if you don't use the ram. Still though I've never made much use of...

I also remember on other thread you mentioned you were running wordpress and vbb.  In this case you might consider a BuyVM $15/year 128MB plan plus their $1/month MySQL offload.  That will save you the hassle of running MySQL yourself, where it's fairly easy to make mistakes if you don't know...

I haven't directly used it but have followed some of its history.  Overall I think it's a good idea, if as you say you're running some small sites and you want to minimize hassle for yourself.  A db is one of the more complex moving parts in an application stack and they tend to need attention...

Ramnode has a 38% off coupon now.  I'd say get their 256MB SSD plan that has 10GB of SSD.  Those things are fantastically responsive and are under $3 a month (billed quarterly) after the coupon.  Or even their 128MB, 5GB SSD plan at about $15/year post-coupon.  Don't bother with cpanel.  Don't...

Do you have Debian 7?  It's not in the order pulldown.

As others have said, you are probably better off with a dedicated servers.  Most VPS can only handle light cpu use with occasional bursts.  The ones with something like "fair share" catering to heavy users tend to be overloaded and slow.  EC2 has multiple tiers of cpu usage (light medium heavy)...

I have SSD's in all my laptops and they are great, night and day difference.  Latency counts for much more than raw throughput in interactive machines like that.  I remember back when my laptop had a HDD, it took maybe half a minute to launch Firefox after booting the machine.  Now it takes...
