I'd forgotten Robert tried to hack BuyVM.  I think it went something like this:

They'd actually have to be separate servers (or VPSes). server1's port 80 and 443 are already in use for normal web serving operations. My goal is to get around restrictive firewalls that prevent me from accessing server1 on port 2087.  (Translation: it's tedious to have to pull out my aircard...

I was wondering if it's possible to do this: server1.example.com is a cPanel/WHM server running WHM on port 2087 (this is not configurable per cPanel) server2.example.com has a proxy of some sort and by connecting to it on port 443, all traffic is magically passed back and forth to...

So now he's recovering his VPS service just to retire it? In light of "we were just hacked", "our owner hacks other providers", and "we will be closing shop soon anyway" this page makes for hilarious reading: https://servercrate.com/why-us.php Another example of why it's impossible for me to...

How about free:  http://freevps.us Or sign up for Amazon's AWS Free Tier and get a 768M for nothing for one year, though this is only practical if your bandwidth needs are low. Of course, if you just need a server to test Linux stuff on and don't need datacenter-grade bandwidth/static IP...

The nonprofit might not, but the commish certainly pays full income tax on his $29 mil salary.

Default IPB favicon makes me sad. How about a favicon for vpsBoard?  I put upwards of 45 seconds into this, so it could probably be improved... 64x64 .PNG and .PSD: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7993889/vpsboard_favicon.zip

Sheesh - ordered mine the day this thread opened and still haven't received (in US)

I actually posted that on LET when CVPS first started.  That was before Chris acquired his "Charlie Sheen from three years ago is so cool!" persona...the window was pretty short...

The US, UK, etc. actually did not "promise" anything regarding Ukrainian borders. It's helpful to read the actual memorandum: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Ukraine._Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances Note that (a) it's a memorandum, not a treaty - in other words, a fancy diplomatic term for a...

Actually we'd all win...I've been waiting for the New Middle Ages since the late 70s.  I'm starting to despair that a cool postapocalyptic world is ever going to come about.

And for their next advertising exercise...

Linode has 50+ employees. Many big players (e.g. Verio) that may sell jillions of VPSes but do many other things.

But not all domains that send emails are businesses. Lotsa individuals have vanity domains - expecting them to put their full contact info in whois is not reasonable.

So that doesn't really answer the question - not that you're under any obligation to answer, of course. VPS hosting wasn't profitable, too much over work, not enough interest, better things to do with your time, prefer to do underwear modeling, or...?  Just curious.

True dat.  @jcaleb is much too nice a guy to be on these sordid boards  :lol:

I sent @Francisco this book once :-)

Now take that unease and multiply it by "some of our staff are teenagers" and you have Green Value Host.

There's at least one commercial service as well - http://gotossh.com/ Though I think people here are savvy enough to run their own instead of paying $50/year :-)

i have an i7 with 32GB of RAM and I built it for less than $950 last fall as I recall last fall...but I already had case, hard drives, graphics, etc.  Since it's my desktop, I don't care about disk performance and I'm usually only using a couple VMs at a time so it's just RAID-1 with an SSD for...
