    What's a good VPS?

    You're not going to find four dedicated CPU cores for an affordable price on a VPS. You need a dedicated server or you need to change your criteria.

    It's freaking beautiful!

    What are you doing for the 4th of July?

    Going to relax and completely ignore anyone who wants to have a philosophical discussion about it.

    [Catalyst Host] 35% off all plans. KVM starting at $6.50/m, OpenVZ @ $5.19/m.

    I'd like to invite any of our clients or anyone else to join us in a Minecraft server that we set up for ourselves and for friends/clients. Address in my signature. Every now and then someone asks if we have an IRC channel that we use. Nope, we have this :) This also celebrates our new stance...

    Are the days gone that it's hard to get a buyvm box?

    Power has been pretty stable now too. Network great, even from East Texas.

    Are the days gone that it's hard to get a buyvm box?

    I think some people might have been waiting for LV move to level out too, but that's just an external observation and you know how those go...perception doesn't account for much of reality.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Alone on websites that a consumer might tend to look, the memory alone (ECC) could be up to $2,000. Seems a lot of server specific shops get better deals. Bunch of them here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/wiki/Server_Builders

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    ECC memory is crazy expensive. A lot of server vendors seem to get better deals on them and pass it along if you build a full system with them. I may not be looking at the best places since we don't colo anything at the moment though, but everything I see is pretty outrageous if you were to...

    E3 only holds 32GB. This is the one reason I won't put out less than an E5.

    Do you think it is fair that cpanel & whmcs should cost more than the server

    You're putting cpanel on a $25/m dedi? Why? Do you hate your clients or just only put 5 on a node and backup the single drive hourly? Btw just virtualize the whole node and save $10...

    The fun thing about theory and practice is... I know you. If you choose to use Catalyst for something big, feel free and watch it fly. If you're using it, I know you need it. I try to be that way with as many clients as will let me. Our prices have gone up in hopes of sustaining that forever.

    Count us in on that and proud of it. I've got two OpenVZ nodes that are darn near oversold capacity right now and here's what it looks like: DallasOne: 15GB Used / 64GB Total, 3.7 Load Average, 0% iowait, 1029pps udp/tcp combined, 665GB of 1.8TB used (probably about 200GB of it my own waste)...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    @buffalood Unless someone is starting a campaign to do it on a forum and the provider happens to know from previous exchanges who it is that is doing this. It is by no means impossible. If every one of my users up and scales to 100% usage tomorrow, this isn't the result of a dice roll, this...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Exactly. But why would you need to artificially inflate your usage to reserve the resources if you don't know that I'm overselling? If you do know that I'm overselling, why would you need to artificially inflate your usage to reserve the resources if you think I'm actually worth hosting your...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Just like reserving disk space specifically to punish a provider for overselling is intentionally hurting someone. This thread assumes that you believe overselling is taking place and that you believe you have the right to force the provider to deal with an extremely improbable reality by...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Not at all. You purchased it to use for your needs, not specifically to attempt to cause harm (or I think you'd agree that you would be a candidate for termination upon admitting this). I think you may have gotten off track from the intention behind this thread in the beginning. The intention...

    Invoice me for every time I've asked Fran for advice and I'll pay that with a smile :) People should be paid for what they do, Fran just does so much awesomeness that the list would probably crash WHMCS :P

    What would you recommend?

    New kloxo fork, I run it on a 128mb VPS for a friend to control their own small hosting environment. https://github.com/mustafaramadhan/kloxo For VPS, go RamNode and you won't ever turn back.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Your argument could be applied to a DDOS, so long as no other client notices that you're using me in your cluster. You paid to burst a gigabit line, you should be able to do it right? For that matter, you paid for access to my client area so you should be able to Robert Clarke it, it's not your...
