Mine had two hardware replacements (failing HDD and failed CPU fan) and it took some back and forth to convince them to replace the HDD (see my post of 04 October).  But once convinced they changed it out quickly, and they also quickly diagnosed and fixed the cpu fan.  I don't know if either was...

"Location needs to be US."  rules out OVH.

This is teh awesome.

I don't think Hetzner is in Kansas City. :) SoYouStart is almost always out of stock, especially for the lowest priced servers.  But you can sometimes snag one of the middle ones. That WSI box is good to know about!  I'll keep it in mind for my own future requirements. If it's for backup and...

I've found Hetzner's support much better than OVH's.  The hardware is also a better deal (at least for some specific configurations in the robot auction, vs. SoYouStart) and the stock availability (again for those configurations, but they are the interesting ones) is also better.  OVH seemed to...

Wait which keys do you mean?  The server side keys are in /etc/ssh .

Thanks, I knew about voip.ms but didn't know they had servers in London.  I had hoped the situation would be like VPS hosts where they were around everywhere and it was just a matter of finding them, but it looks like telecom regulations prevent these services from existing in lots of European...

hubic.com has something like that.

Hetzner Marketplace has some ridiculously cheap servers though above your $20/month figure but much more powerful than your spec.  See: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market Prices include 18% EU VAT and if you're exempt from that, you're not charged it. Take a look at the i7-2600 and...

I couldn't resist and tried to use the promo code on a $15 cvps in NL, but it still said "amount due today $15.00".  Is the credit applied afterward or what? I guess it's only black friday for a few more minutes anyway, so maybe I'm off the hook.

I'm looking for a European VOIP provider, i.e. a place connected to the POTS phone system, where I can originate calls starting from an IP connection (SIP or XMPP, I guess), something like Vitelity.  In Vitelity's case they also do (rather expensive by vpsboard standards) VPS hosting in the same...

BuyVM doesn't have POPs per se, they have VPS gear in three data centers (Nevada, New Jersey, and Luxembourg).   If I understand it right, you can get a VPS at each location at their regular VPS price (starts at $15/year per VPS, ddos protection costs extra), and then choose to put all three on...

From Hetzner (Falkenstein, DE) dedicated server: 107.189.0.1     11.2 ms 198.251.84.1   21.1 ms From Nanovz (Dusseldorf, DE) OpenVZ VPS: 107.189.0.1    11.1 ms 198.251.84.1  16.4 ms From LES (Japan) OpenVZ slabbed in Vultr Xen(?): 107.189.0.1   257 ms 198.251.84.1  oscillates between 275...

Glad this is starting to be a thing, but am waiting for the buyvm.net low rent version.

I have the 3-site nanovz bundle and they've been working fine and Ryan is great to deal with.  The megavz's are similar but bigger, i.e. they're also on the LowEndSpirit model, with NAT-only ipv4, no dedicated ipv4 address.  This is fine for lots of purposes but requires a few gyrations that can...

Relying on someone else's cloud server doesn't seem in the vpsboard spirit. I've done stuff like that with hack-ass reverse proxied made of ssh port forwarding to a cheap VPS and it actually kind of works, even through godawful mobile wireless networks.  The public address is the VPS's and the...

MoinMoin isn't very fancy but it's in Python and very easy to set up.  Uses plain files instead of a database etc.  I ran an instance for something I was doing at work a while back, which had a dozen or so pages.  It was fine for that.  But if it were for something longer lasting and serious I'd...

I use xchat through an ssh socks proxy to an ultra cheap vps.  Freenode has ip cloaking if you enroll an account and log into it, but it's not real reliable.  If your connection drops and then you reconnect, for the moments between reconnection and when auto-identification completes, your ip is...

You're talking about conversation view.  I like it, but I think there is a way to turn it off in gmail. I don't use gmail on privacy grounds, but I use fastmail.com instead and it implements something similar.  I had expected that I'd do most of mail reading with a local imap client, but in...

Dedi doesn't make the network speed consistent--that's entirely about the provider's traffic level. Why do you want a /29 of ipv4? You are looking to spend $12.5/month for a dedi with 4gb of ram and 2TB of disk, good luck with that.  Even a Kimsufi will run around 2x that much.
