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

    Higher rate of failure among other things. If I was giving advice... RAID10: Best RAID6: Better than RAID5 due to lower rate of failure RAID5: Better than RAID1 but keep 2 spares on hand because the discs seem to fail in pairs RAID1: LOL, look at me, I'm a summer host with a brand new AMD...

    Buffalo Shill Shell Companies

    The main issue I see is that 2 of the domains have "funny phone numbers" and ICANN doesn't like that shit (as proven by their suspension of the ugvps and digthemine domain names last year for invalid contact info). Perfect location! See the building site plan on page 3 of this brochure. ...

    Buffalo Shill Shell Companies

    Mid 50's restaurant owner.  Probably a friend of Daddyfabozo who was convinced to invest in this low end conglomerate. The WHOIS lists Calao as the owner but the TOS lists "Data Access Group" as the owner (the copyright notice on the pages also lists Data Access Group and is linked to...

    How do you monitor your vps uptime?

    You must be mistaken.  StatusCake is 100% accurate and never has any problems. Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'MongoCursorTimeoutException' with message '176.227.201.226:27017: Read timed out after reading 0 bytes, waited for 30.000000 seconds' in...

    How do you monitor your vps uptime?

    Kimsufi uses RTM.  It's installed at /usr/local/rtm (on Debian) and runs a cron job every 60 seconds.  The run time is only a second when the cron runs so you probably won't notice it in a list of running processes. If you check your syslog you should see a bunch of entries that look like this...

    How do you monitor your vps uptime?

    Internal: 1. Observium 2. N2 Monitoring 3. Zabbix 4. Webmin's built-in status monitoring (useful for auto restarting crashed services in the middle of the night) 5. Custom bash script that monitor's Apache/server load and will auto restart Apache if load is over xx.xx for x minutes (useful...

    Please, get rid of mtwiscool.

    I find him less annoying than certain f*cktards whose only contribution to the community (on both VPSB and LET) is starting threads begging for a free VPS  :)

    Vultr SMTP restriction requirements are unreasonable

    I hope they're not keeping scans of both the front and back on file (with the CVV number on those scans) because that would be a violation of credit card industry rules. OVH, Hetzner, and many others ask for 2 forms of ID (front of credit card, photo ID, utility bill, etc) when an account is...

    Shit Doesn't Always Float...Sometimes It Sinks

    Spetznaz/VPSDatabase's whole marketing gimmick was "offshore" so he shouldn't have been surprised that 80% of the customers he attracted were either abusers or criminals. The meta tags from the VPSDatabase site:

    HudsonValleyHost Spamming the Helpdesk

    That's my general gripe about any type of SPAM, whether it's email SPAM, comment SPAM, ticket/contact form SPAM etc.  SPAM=decreased productivity due to the time spent dealing with it (not to mention other associated costs in the battle against SPAM). The total cost of dealing with it add up to...

    Benefits and downfalls of running Nginx and Apache side-by-side?

    'Tis what I've been doing for a long time on larger sites.  Nginx > Apache MPM-Worker + PHP-FPM (plus php-apc,memcached, etc)

    eBay hacked. Change your password.

    Both the eBay and PayPal web sites have had several XSS vulnerabilities in the past...a few of which went unnoticed or unpatched for lengthy periods of time.  Back in 2005-2006 there was a XSS vulnerability in eBay auction listing pages that eBay was notified about and didn't bother to patch for...

    HudsonValleyHost Spamming the Helpdesk

    Email spam annoys me but spam submitted through the ticket systems or contact forms of my websites tends to really piss me off, and the companies that market this way are almost uniformly shit.
