I have tried registering a free domain at freenom and the process went fine, but the domain is not resolving yet (after 2 days). Any one having a free domain at freenom? Just to use it a temp domain? (looking for a new gTLD that isn't yet in GA)

I have no hands on experience, but assuming there is no overselling involved in this, watching bandwidth price ($/GB) on vps providers (linode: 0.01 , knownhost: 0.01 , ramnode,chicagovps,digitalocean: 0.005 to .01 , ovh: 0.001 and less), most of them tend to be 5 to 10+ times cheaper than the...

Thanks for the suggestion to not go for this. I was just thinking if files are not going to change most of the time, then why the web server should read them always from the disk (not a bad thought though I think). I wasn't aware of this ramdisk capability with mount itself. Thanks for the...

I already agreed on raindog308's advice and decided not to chase the last .1% performance :) But, you mentioned about Ramdisk, Is it possible to setup one on a vps? If so, would appreciate any links/names about any quality (free) software for that. I think I can use it with nginx for serving...

If that is the case (last .1%) , I wouldn't want to disable access.log. I thought avoiding frequent writing on the disk could improve performance. I am new to vps and don't have a site yet (just getting familiar with things). I tried setting up goaccess on my debian vps but it had an old...

I wasn't talking about error.log (but access.log), and I guess those would go to error.log whether or not they are mentioned in access.log.

hyperspin.com not used them, but my provider used (and still uses) them when I was on shared hosting pricing seems to be moderate on 3 min+ intervals

If I use services like statcounter (which provides offsite web stats), Can I disable access log in web server? Is it functionally equivalent to having accesslog enabled and running stats software (like goaccess) locally? I don't expect much on stats and would be satisfied with those on...

Probably you are the only one who told "you don't need a firewall"... I asked you people how can my vps be abused if I run without a firewall? (not kind of dos attack, i.e not talking about an attack targetted on my domain/business) Suppose If I run no unnecessary services, and run only...

I am new to linux/vps (though I know quite a bit) and familiar with windows desktop. From windows point of view, AFAIAK firewall software would control which processes have access to the internet/sockets etc. In linux vps, I am the only user (root) of the system and I can only install software...
