    Conn8ct shutting down

    True, but that doesn't stop anyone - I was visiting with family the other day and we saw 7 Ferraris in the course of a 2 hour bus ride, plus a gold-plated (!) McLaren parked up at a West-End hotel.

    Conn8ct shutting down

    At least 3 on LET from memory, fairly sure there was at least one here too, not sure about LEB tho.

    Conn8ct shutting down

    Just got an email from relatively new host Conn8ct as I have one of their cheap yearlies. Another one bites the dust. I'm sure no-one will mourn their passing too much.

    Shardhost Info - Urgent Client Action

    I had one of their low-end specials that were offered on request back in October, before the AnnualKVM brand appeared I think. Everything was actually pretty decent until this weekend when the I/O turned to shit and tickets weren't responded to for days.

    URPad closing locations, merging into 3 central non-rental datacenter --- DUMPS COLOCROSSING!

    Not sure what it was, but something always put me off URPad. Obviously glad I didn't pick any plans up now, I'd be pissed had I gone for Iceland.

    No firewall? Meet ufw the easiest firewall ever

    This seems a fairly thorough walkthrough http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/csf-config-server-firewall-installation/ Going to have a piss about with it tomorrow myself, although right now UFW still looks a bit more straight forward to me. EDIT: this tutorial...

    No firewall? Meet ufw the easiest firewall ever

    I've hardly ever had UFW work properly on OVZ without applying a few tweaks, whereas it's always run flawlessly for me on KVM/Xen.

    Securing OpenVZ VPS

    Got plenty of other things the I need to learn first. So long as UFW meets my needs, I'll keep using it.

    Securing OpenVZ VPS

    I'm pretty lazy, so I just use UFW block all connections by default, then open the ones I need up to my VPN IP's only (aside from the odd port I give public access to). I also remove pretty much everything I don't need, but that's very much a necessity as most of my VPS's are under 128MB. One...

    DotVPS KVM+OVZ Offer | LA Lauch!

    Nice selection of low-end plans, the only trouble is I don't know which to plan to choose! Nice to see some UK based ones too.

    Monthly & YEARLY SALES | Owned Hardware | Crissic Solutions LLC

    Anything smaller than a 512MB? Don't need anything like that kind of RAM, even 256MB would be a bit OTT.

    WeLoveServers (VPS Hosting in 6 locations) - adds Orlando, FL & London, UK locations

    To be fair, given that the is much smaller the UK is than the US, it's on a par with the NY/Buffalo issue. in terms of literal distance, 370 miles from London could get you to Wales comfortably, and just about to major cities in Scotland.

    WeLoveServers (VPS Hosting in 6 locations) - adds Orlando, FL & London, UK locations

    Maidstone has never been, and never will be 'London'. Edit: it's not Greater London either.

    Are 24khost Servers Down?

    I think 24Khost outsource all support. Fairly sure the owner isn't particularly technical, so he's reliant on contractors or the DC's for support.
