Yeah, SD, BuyVM, and Hostigation were the three I was thinking of.

I can think of at least three high-quality LEB providers off the top of my head where this is not true.

There's also sslh and AjaxTerm.

ha!  I guess they buy their servers (or at least the clip art for them) from this host (who has one of the worst sites I've ever seen, starting with broken SSL): https://buymyvm.com/

So that checks Spamhaus...there are many others. The script is conceptually trivial to write - it's just a lookup.  Just wondering if someone already had a tool (with a maintained list of RBLs, etc.)

I'm looking for something I can run as a cron job that checks if any of my IPs are blacklisted. There are online tools but I want to script something that will check and email me.  Before I invent it...does something like this exist? (To be clear - there's no reason they should be blacklisted...

If I say in iptables that only certain IPs can access that port, then I can only ssh from those IPs, right?

What do you use to share a filesystem across the Internet? Like nfs, but  works on OpenVZ works well across the Internet In other words, server1 shares /foo and server2 mounts /foo and can reader/write to /foo. sshfs?  My only concern there is that I believe it runs over the ssh...

Careful guys...he has a devil side.

My irony meter is pegged.

OK, I did read that :-) But I was asking about the container OS.  Now that I think about it more, I guess the shared kernel knows that if it exceeds RAM and needs to swap, it shouldn't look at normal Linux swap config but rather the special OvZ setup.

Well the wiki says vSwap... http://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/plans?s[]=vswap Do you use vSwap on your plans? As of June 2013 all OpenVZ plans support vSwap. All virtual servers have been retroactively updated to have a 1:1 ratio for memory:vswap.

On a RamNode OvZ: # free -m              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached Mem:           512        374        137          0          0        350 -/+ buffers/cache:         23        488 Swap:          512          1        510 # swapon -s Filename              ...

Alternatively, atmel.example.tld, st.example.tld, and ti.example.tld - save money.

Dropbox :-) My USBs are mostly for install boots these days.

The name alone will keep me away. Is there any positive connotation to "vulture"?  Nope. "We are hoping to pick the bones of DO once it goes belly up?"  I guess that's what they're trying to say. And btw, what is with people using TM for trademarks they haven't registered?  Another reason to...

I've never bought from DigitalOcean - plenty of good budget and premium VPS companies, as well as good cloud companies (AWS, Azure, etc.) I looked at them today...so other than you can choose to pay by the month or by the hour, what's the difference between DO and any other VPS company?

There's something special about a guy who makes a third grade grammar mistake while calling someone else an idiot.

Uh, dude, Chris already said ChicagoVPS is going to be closing, though he refuses to say when. Hope you didn't sign up for one of those three-year promotions...
