  Oh, I long thought they were. The head of CVPS was on here claiming that ATL box(es) were 128GB servers.  I can't say either way, but I highly suspect that is false. | nodeid | name    | vservers | ram          | +--------+---------+----------+--------------+ |    110 | atl2    |      183...

  Well you asked :) Because there is a difference in selling something you have and can provide vs. selling something you may have and certainly don't want to provide. By my math, if you are following the CVPS cash cow, the 2GB plan price point is down to around $2 a month.  Let me know when...

Any VPS platform can be oversold and already has been by someone.  Limited resources coupled with creativity will always prevail while pursuing monetary gains.

You are getting nuts with these plans.  That's a good thing for the price vs. RAM crowd though.

Fantastic price considering on Steadfast's network. What is the port speed?

  No one started truly wanting say 2GB of RAM + 50GB of disk + 2TB of transit.  (well realistic folks didn't). Sly providers created the largest packages they could and slowly ratcheted up the specs.  It was 512MB, then 1GB, then 2GB, now 3GB+.  The market didn't dictate that, cutthroat...

  While this is true, who says the Mona Lisa is truly worth more than $7?  That's the position of the low end providers (most of them). If someone is trying to sell the Mona Lisa at $7, it is either a print, a forgery or some other form of fraud.  False advertising all day. The situation...

  Oh, you can bet that is true.   If we take the recent mass failing of a provider and start adding VPS accounts directed to backup nodes, it is quite a traffic jam.  I haven't done the math but it is many hundreds of accounts backing up to a single backup node.  Providers bank on the VPS...

These small sized annual plans are awesome.  $10-$15 a year :) Have you always been doing prices in USD?   Thanks either way.  The entire money conversion thing always irks me... Random monthly amounts and PayPal stomping on it more.

  Well, I haven't looked much at Chicago or Dallas on their network lately.  Buffalo is blech!  routing mess. But back to your offers... The KVM in some affordable annuals would be great or at least option to get such. Umm, the 2GB pricing really jumps up disproportionately.   Disk gets way...

So, you bought one of those super duper under-priced and guaranteed to be oversold VPS packages.  You know, one of those featuring 50GB, 100GB or even more disk space. Wisely, you bought it on a special, and now are letting it idle and season to see if it is reliable before deploying it. All...

  Dallas and Chicago are littered with offers.  I know, not for KVM. Ummm CC's network I take it in those locations?  AHh, well... (twiddles thumbs).... I wish someone would replicate the Backupsy model or they would continue expanding :)

True Jarland, true. Google shaming providers now.  Hopefully they don't go banning ASNs like they do with search engine results where malware found.  Too much power welding by the G'men.

So is Alpine literally just a scaled down Debian install and fully compatible? Can this be made into a bootable/installable ISO also? PS: @kaniini, digging your posts lately.  Great stuff!

Google is like that... They love making messes, banning people, breaking things, etc.  It's all about big, fat, ugly piles of data. Providing email notifications, well that might be deemed providing a service and people might then complain they weren't mailed in the future or more likely, that...

Wait... wait... but... Google says they've only scanned 7% of Incero's ASN. Of that, 19% of the sites scanned therein contain malware --- that's 1-in-5.  Quite high.  Not Gordo's fault, but certainly needs some top down house cleaning. Does Google offer some more details on this --- like the...

Quite the setup shawn_ky :) Wondering how many folks still are in limbo with their CVPS accounts --- don't know if they have their data?   Totally is being handled just like last time.   Wearing people down with time and dealing with one off issues.  The mass of clients, forgotten about, no...

  Impressive.  How do you accomplish such a feat?  There are all these account emails, emails that tend to leak personal info, etc. I've gone out of my way to self preserve --- but open to other folks ideas.

  That's a fair question.  I do wonder. I have disjointed accounts, so cornering me into a click or something like that isn't going to happen.  It's the luxury of not being public person / provider with clear accounts, known emails, etc. Reminds me of another reason to stop warehousing info...

  I'm a fan of looking at ioping also.   But, it really has problems when SSD or SSD caching is on the node.
