    Good email hosting?

    I have a Zoho (paid) account and I'm not that happy. Since I moved a domain from Google Apps I started to receive new and persistent spam from some companies that looks like "whitelisted" by Zoho -- doesn't matter how much times I mark the crap as spam, day after day it reappers in my inbox. ...

    DigitalOcean vs Vultr vs Mothership1?

    Agreed but Vultr allows custom ISO, what makes a BIG difference between the 2 providers, and Windows 2012 R2 plans -- not basically equal services. If you are looking for private internal networking go with Vultr ;)  +1 for IWStack/Prometeus "True" "cloud" and cheap I also could recommend...

    Sanity check - disk speed testing

    AFAIK you can't drop caches in OpenVZ :) DD test is essential if you usually download huge files at high bitrates because it requires a sustained high sequential write rate / disk throughput (1Gbit -> 100MB/s, 10Gbit -> 1GB/s, 40-56Gbit (InfiniBand) 4-5GB/s ...)

    Projects for idle VPS?

    I couldn't agree more but there is a "small" requirement: you must be a seasoned pro to do this thing right. It is not something you should recommend to someone searching a use to an idle VPS because it certainly backfires if not properly done.. Maybe something like...

    Projects for idle VPS?

    I see no point in risking the node/provider stability, compromising the quality of a service shared by many clients,  trying to fight bad guys with a small VPS. If you haven't anything to do just press power off and let the other people sharing the infraestructure make better use of the...
