Running top on a kvm vps, there is a statistic called "st %" which I read is the time "stolen" from my VPS.  Or more precisely, "waits for a real CPU while the hypervisor is servicing another virtual processor".   So does that mean, "your VPS was assigned 2 virtual processors (in my kvm's...

So to summarize: Wednesday, 6pm Pacific: 1.7MB/sec Kimsufi -> BuyVM Vegas Wednesay, 6:30pm Pacific through at least 11pm Pacific: 100KB/sec to max 200KB/sec Kimsufi -> BuyVM Vegas Thursday 7am Pacific: 1.7MB/sec Kimsufi -> BuyVM Vegas That's taking any Comcast factor out of the picture. I...

I've never heard of that...they're pretty spendy: http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/buy.aspx They give away DreamSpark, etc. to students.

I rely 100% on reviews and reputation. I can think of a well-respected LEB provider that has a stock WHMCS and a wiki that doesn't even have a logo in the corner :-)  I'm a customer and have been for several years. On the other hand, AlienVPS has a beautiful site but crappy service from what...

The subtle thing here is that if you have a MAC address and a Windows hostname, it's not like you can immediately say "that's Joe Schmoe at 123 main St" and go arrest him. However, if you keep it in a database for practically forever, at some point in the future if you happen to seize a laptop...

Didn't know you guys made your own hardware.  Neat.

Meh...now I'm only getting 100KB/sec on the Kimsufi->BuyVM VPS transfer, either ssh or rsync protocol.

True story...a few years ago, work asked me to give an internal education talk on R, the statistical programming language.   The presentation date fell on September 19. I hadn't noticed the date until that morning, when I realized I'd be standing behind a podium saying Arrrr every few minutes...

I was whining about my Kimsufi transfer speed in another thread.   At the moment, I'm seeing 10KB/sec and 6KB/sec in two separate FTP connections, connecting from my home (Portland, OR, USA) .  I just rebooted the kimsufi and there's nothing running on it of note - load average is .07 and...

Well...I use my Azure VPS to run Linux :-) Microsoft offers Linux VMs on Azure, priced kind of like EC2.  I get some free credits for MSDN so that's what I do with it.  Unfortunately, you pay by the GB for bandwidth, so I can't do much exciting but it's a good high-quality personal web server...

If "technet" means "I had technet once and still have some keys" then KVM as described above. If "technet" means "I have a sugar daddy/employer who pays for technet and will roll me over to MSDN once technet is expired," then check to see which MSDN level you will get because you can get Azure...

I've paid 14.99E per month since forever for one of their Kimsufis in France (2GB RAM, 1TB disk, Atom proc).  It's always been exactly what I expected it to be. The network is good enough for my needs but spotty and inconsistent...sometimes I can rip down 10Mbps to my house...then suddenly...

" You might be better off going over to VPSBoard where all my haters are." :P 

I'm a whore...I use Bing solely because they pay me.  To date I've earned about $80 in Amazon gift cards just from switching to Bing.  (They have a points-based rewards system - the more you search, the more points you get). The search results are as good as Google's. And the moment Microsoft...

I'm confused...people are talking about Google using up and dumping MariaDB.  I read the OP as Google going to use MariaDB, not that it somehow bought MariaDB...which is impossible but what I mean is that Google is just saying "we're going to use MariaDB more" not "we've taken over the MariaDB...

Especially when you put "adult web hosting" in the keywords.  Does the Son really host adult web pages? There is a TOS link on some pages but it's broken.

Lack of favicon makes the me cry. Inconsistent capitalization - e.g., "Easy to use Website Builder".  Several places like that. I have no idea what "get a free Wordpress offer" means. "It's easy to start your own business in the booming Internet market"  :lol: "Why to choose SonWebHost? We...

Yet another VPS management panel...but I think Joe might actually be one to pull it off.  I think others look and say "well, that isn't so hard" and then after they get into the GUI side of it, testing, security, etc. they realize it's more work than they thought. Wasn't joepie91 doing a panel...

That's actually a side benefit to TOR, not the main or original purpose.  The main purpose is to defeat traffic analysis.  I suspect I'm telling you something you already know but pointing it out for others.  Without TOR, it's possible for a government to say "I don't know what you're saying...

Yep...that's why I like SD.  Class act.
