    Milky Way Host- Asia location added

    How many users do you have?  I'm genuinely curious.

    milkywayhost.com - Free unlimited ssd shared hosting (no ads).

    You say +50% over your top user, so apparently there is a hard target. Though I guess two users could get together and ladder it up infinitely :-) Nope. Nothing about "top user + 50%" or nonsense like that. Nothing about "compared to other users". You are enforcing a limit that people have no...

    milkywayhost.com - Free unlimited ssd shared hosting (no ads).

    Quite aware, but you are explicitly saying it's not unlimited in your TOS. It's a "moving average". It's very hard to understand you. What? Well, duh, yes - but what is it? How would I know if I can use your service? What's the average right now? I'm going to guess that no one has more than...

    milkywayhost.com - Free unlimited ssd shared hosting (no ads).

    "Unlimited disk space is only available for website using php, html and other common web formats but you can not use an unfair amount of space compared to other users on the server.(above top 50% is not allowed)" This has so many problems.  Essentially I think you're engaging in false...

    AzzaVPS Officially Rolled into CVPS

    In most cases the contract is a month-to-month service agreement, so it's not like the there's a lot of money at risk for the individual. Then again, in the lowend market, people argue over dimes.

    Definition of "Cloud"

    Cloud is just a marketing term. It's been around since the 1970s.   1970 cloud = mainframe time-sharing (IaaS, SaaS) 1990s cloud = application service providers (SaaS) 2010s cloud = IaaS, PaaS, and more SaaS About the only thing really innovative in cloud since the 1970s was Azure's PaaS...

    should i make a freebsd openvz template?

    Gee, that DOES sound like a tempting offer. Slow AND unstable. Where do I sign up? I'd gladly ditch easy to use BSD KVM VPSes for somethign like this. No. But I would like to learn more about karnels.

    MySQL on SSD or classic HDD?

    I think you're confused by "write cycles". Write cycles in this context is not "how fast it can write" or "how much can it write concurrently" but rather "how soon will it wear out".   And you're not going to hit it: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2829/6

    Best disk storage/raid server setup for VPS host server?

    Whether you mean 5 megabytes/seconds or 5 megabits/second...that should be a fraction of what an SSD can deliver, no? I really don't understand what you're saying here.

    Google AdSense - Leak from former employee.

    Really? I've never been able to get more than $100 about once every 9 months. Google used to have "parked domains" where you could park your unused domains with them. Oddly, I was getting $100 every 3-4 months with that - no idea why. They cancelled that program. My payouts really make zero...

    Compile nginx from source or use apt-get install nginx?

    I use dotdeb as well.   I wonder what increase in performance (and in what scenarios) you'll get by doing a self-compile.  I don' think that just the act of compiling will magically give you more performance.  If you have specific scenarios where flags or config will help, then maybe...though...

    TrueCrypt under Windows is NOT SECURE - "unfixed security issues"

    TrueCrypt under Windows is NOT SECURE - "unfixed security issues"

    TC is so much more than BL: hidden volumes, traveler mode, cross-OS volumes, command line... My vote is that this is some sort of hack.  I'm very skeptical of any "the government forced them to do it" since the foundation's been around for 10-ish years. The audit was not that bad - from my...

    use statcounter and disable access.log?

    What is your motivation for doing so? You'd be chasing the last .1% of performance gains.

    500GB Backup VPS (non-OVZ) close to HostDime-Orlando-DC2

    Well, depends on  - how close - budget For example, a BuyVM storage VPS with 500GB of disk and 5TB of bandwidth is $15/month.  It's KVM.  But you're in either New Jersey or Las Vegas so depends on what the OP means by "close". I'm not sure why the OP needs 1gbps if he says he's only pushing...

    Writing a DB-Oriented Web App - Platform?

    I worked as a DBA for seven years...I don't need more SQL practice  :lol: Was just wondering if writing something from scratch or if there was a framework that was designed for this, or if a general-purpose framework was best.

    How did you come up with your company name?

    But how did MannDude get his name? I assume it was an iterative process... "Mann...what?  Let me think... MannLewd...meh... MannShrewd...meh... Mann 'Tude...too strident... MannBrood...bugs me for some reason... MannCrude...descriptive, but... MannRude...maybe... MannFood...sounds like...

    Writing a DB-Oriented Web App - Platform?

    I have a huge comic book collection.  My database of it is very out-dated and I want to re-inventory and create a fresh database.  I'm not a desktop programmer so I'll probably do a front-end as a web app. I could certainly write something from scratch using php/perl/python (+MySQL or even...
