Slightly more on topic...although I am an NRA Life Member gun freak, I hate gun shows. Too much off-topic junk, stuff is overpriced, have to pay admission + parking, etc. Stopped going years ago. I much prefer either dealing with a good local dealer or buying privately.

If the provider never gets a dmca, how would they know? Certainly, using a vps to backup one's files is very common. If you're not publicly distributing, hard to see where you will go wrong. Or use dropbox, etc.

OK, sounds like the best avenue is an distro-specific config mechanism like kickstart.  Thanks!

In case I wasn't clear, I am just a KVM customer, not the owner of the physical node.  So you sign up for a KVM at a provider, is there any way to automate your OS install/reinstall like OvZ or is it always "boot from media, walk through the menu".

It's all but vanished from the vps market, but big cloud providers (AWS, Azure, etc) use it.

I love the pushbutton reinit of ovz. Is there a way to do something similar for kvm? Other than a custom iso or a homegrown "run this script after manually installing OS" sort of thing.

So I'm curious about your apparently vast Tahoe-LAFS network.  Is that - your own personal files that you store there as their sole location (distributed, yes, but I mean "those files live only on Tahoe-LAFS") - a backup of your local PC files - a sync somehow of your PC files (a personal...

KnownHost has always been awesome.  They're the managed side of RocketVPS. I also like 6sync, though they are only in New York (Telx - ok, technically NJ). I've never had an issue with Linode, either, and they've finally upped their plans to reasonable capabilities.

Not a fixed-width font, but I'd say it's either six characters long or contains a skinny letter (e.g., "l"). Also from the LET thread: http://puu.sh/6EuUS.png/ss%20%282014-01-30%20at%2008.00.40%29.png http://puu.sh/6EuU2.png/ss%20%282014-01-30%20at%2008.00.24%29.png

I've simplified as well.  In the past, I had a grand virtual empire. These days: - Dreamhost for 95% of my endeavors and an endless sea of family members' blogs/photo sites/junk.  It's just easier to let someone else handle shared hosting. - BuyVM OvZ for "I want to do something custom at the...

Looks very nice, and certainly more attractive than cPanel (man, talking about damning with faint praise  :P )

He's saving up his pennies to buy a datacenter. Chris stated there that ChicagoVPS is closing, but whenever asked, he dodges the question and refuses to answer.  Meanwhile, they continue to take 3-year subscriptions.  Classy.

The best part of that whole story is the vpsbycall guy saying "hey, you can just dial and if you don't listen, well the advertisers won't know." Of course, he's saying that in public. I'm curious to know who/what would advertise with the obvious knowledge that no one is going to listen...but...

No he didn't. Are you familiar with quotation marks, sarcasm, etc.? "you wouldn't be able to have an intellectual conversation with me. Its simple, you are not smart enough."   -- CVPS_Chris

The only possible grounds would be: Copyright.  But Solus is ioncube'd and they'd have to prove code theft, which is virtually impossible in this case. Patents.  But I doubt Solus has any patents on a VPS control panel. Trademark.  But BuyVM is not calling it "Stallion" and the look/feel is...

I think hosting-related words are going to be mighty expensive.  Perhaps if you pair it down to your subspecialty or geography it's more cost-effective, but you still have to do some math to say "I send $X for advertising, I get Y new customers, which is $Z in profit, was it worth it".

No, I don't think it does. First, price fixing is usually about raising prices - a bunch of vendors get together and say "we agree not to sell for less than $20".  That would harm consumers. Here, you have a third party (yes, just a minute on that) who says "I'm only going to list offers that...

This is so lame and desperate...ChicagoVPS is begging Solus to sue BuyVM over Stallion.

...and I'm guessing you never go to FreeWebHostingTalk because that place is a spooky ghost town.

Not the man, but I hadn't heard of the Laravel framework and it looks pretty cool, so thanks!
