I think you'll see more hosts taking the route that OVH did with its VPS Cloud and Public Cloud CPU instances and charging a premium price to users who need faster 3GHz+ CPU's (which at OVH is a 3.1 GHz E5-2687Wv3).  The slower 2.x GHz E5's (OVH iuses 2.4GHz  E5-2620v3) that most cloud providers...

My dedicated servers have better uptime than any of the "High Availability Cloud" providers I've tried which is to be expected because none of the platforms (with the exception of possibly VMware based clouds) are mature and so you're going to have bugs and growing pains which is bad news for...

Quadranet's InfraCloud is just another OnApp install.  I'm not a fan of the proprietary OnApp (probably due to the many bugs I've encountered with providers using it over the years,).  I really don't see OnApp being that competitive with other cloud platforms going forward because it really...

OVH is more attractive if you need CPU power but not if you need disk space. Cost for a VPS with 50GB storage, smallest 2GB RAM offer: Scaleway 2.99 includes 50GB OVH public cloud VPS SSD 4.59-6.19 ( 2.99 VPS w/10GB disk + 40GB extra disk: 1.60 for 200 iops or 3.20 for 800 iops) OVH...

DreamHost's OpenStack powered DreamCompute has come out of its 2 year  beta and entered general availability.  This is actually a nice full featured OpenStack offering compared to GoDaddy's recent OpenStack Cloud launch (which still felt like a beta to me), or OVH's Public Cloud, both of which...

Wikileaks had some comments on those very controlled media IV drips, i.e. where da fark are the Murican CEOs and politicians, and an explanation of why some countries politicians and rich have been spared: ISAJ's two biggest funders are CIA front USAID and Soros' Open Society Foundations...

It'll be costly when it catches up to them since the county reportedly vastly overestimates the current value of equipment when it sends bills to those who haven't filed.

I always feel a wave of nostalgia rush over me when I see a site with a VeriSign Trusted logo...I'm surprised yours wasn't updated to Norton Secured in April 2012 along with everyone else's.  BBB accredited logo and "BBB Verifiied Company"? Under what company name?  I can't seem to find it on...

Scaleway added two more VPS offers to their lineup today: €5.99/Month 4 x86 64bit Cores 4GB Memory 100GB SSD Disk 1 Flexible public IPv4 200Mbit/s Unmetered bandwidth €9.99/Month 6 x86 64bit Cores 8GB Memory 200GB SSD Disk 1 Flexible public IPv4 200Mbit/s Unmetered bandwidth...

I've had my 2 VPS in IT1 since April 2015 so they're on older hardware: The one in London is an E5: @marrco said:   The best VPS for the price I have is an 8GB/8core/160GB disk Leaseweb VPS in Singapore that I'm paying about US $11 monthly for (S$14.97, 75% off sale when they launched...

I believe this is a new record for most SBL listings, but not surprising given the jump in spam coming from Hotmail this year:

My guess would be the host's support staff accidentally installed CentOS on the wrong container (a fairly common problem at some budget hosts who outsource support). If the reinstall had been initiated from the user side in SolusVM then Hxxx would be able to see a log entry with the IP...

I sure as hell hope not judging by the recent reports of downtime and crappy support at Crissic 

I'll fill in the Aruba blanks. The virtualization for their budget Cloud Server Smart line is VMware.  The Cloud Server Pro line is VMware and Hyper-V. Company:  Aruba was founded in 1994 and is the largest hosting company in Italy, 5th largest in Europe, 10th largest in the world.  From...

//begin rant Quote from WHT: I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day hosting customers will not be misled by hosting providers spewing this bullshit that only OpenVZ RAM can be oversold and KVM/Xen/VMware memory can't be oversold.  I have a dream that one day the hosting...

Agree. Iliad / Online.net is one of the few that doesn't need to worry about an IPv4 shortage..yet. AS 12876 Online SAS has 245,760 IPv4  + AS 12322 Free SAS  has 11,116,544 IPv4 (of which 1 x /12, 2 x /13, 2 x /16, and 1 x /18 are Online SAS prefixes...about 2.2 million  of those 11.12...

AWS is Xen, same as Rackspace, Oracle, Aliyun, Verizon Enterprise . http://www.xenproject.org/help/presentations-and-videos/video/amazon-the-art-of-using-xen-at-scale.html

That depends on who controls the hypervisor. If you control it and use virtualization strictly to run your own company's apps then it is a reliable way to stretch your resources and save money and you can achieve uptime that is comparable to, or equals,  a dedicated server.  If you're using a...

You could already save €1  by launching IPv4-less servers that only used private networking private IPs (perfect for database severs and other non-public facing uses). My poor little ARM C1 servers have to wait... Which means updating DNS settings if you turn off your server and have a...

The Online compiled Debian ARM kernels have had some bugs .  There have been a couple of bugs on various kernel upgrades that caused iptables to spew out "can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?" error messages.  I last encountered this problem...
