    VPS in Romania

    I would tell you to avoid BallsVPS.com if they hadn't deadpooled.  I ordered a VPS in Bucharest and they provisioned it in Milan last April 1st! in order: 1. IntoVPS.com (the same people who run the IntoDNS.com website) 2. NewHost.ro is reputable and offers both Xen and OpenVz.

    04Jan Outage

    Reminds me of the time in 2001 I received a call from ServInt at 2AM in the morning telling me the power supply on one of my servers had shorted out and the server was a total loss (motherboard, hard drives both got fried when the power supply blew).

    The truth about Mao and BuyVM

    40 years ago the words of an anonymous person named Deep Throat helped bring down the presidency of Tricky Dick. :) If the anonymous person is a whistleblower or informant then their message does carry weight if they can back up their words with  facts and documents. The identity of the...

    The truth about Mao and BuyVM

    I've never used BuyVM so I can't speak about their networks speeds but CVPS oversells everything to the extreme and while you might get some CVPS nodes with good or even above average network speeds you will also get some nodes that struggle to get above dialup speeds because the bandwidth is so...

    Creating a Page Scraper (Web Crawler?) and File Downloader

    I'd advise checking the TOS of every site you want to use before deploying your scraper.  Elsevier (sciencedirect) prohibits the use of spiders/crawlers/downloaders without their written permission, and the TOS of most other corporate owned scientific journals also contain similar prohibitions...

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    The WHOIS for digthemine.com has been updated (new address Lockport, NY...old one was Pittston, PA) and so the domain should be unsuspended soon. Dig The Mine LLC is registered in Pennsylvania.  The listing of a New York address for the domain registrant could be problematic because New York...

    VPS in South America

    If you want 1TB bandwidth for less than $10 I'd recommend Miami because most country-to-country connections in South America will route up through Miami anyways. Or you could use a South American provider like Virtuaserver in Rio and pay $50 monthy for a 256MB VPS with a 5 Mbps connection (or...

    Big RAM VPS - who actually uses them and for what?

    I bought a 4GB Xen VPS last week.  Primary reason for buying: 500GB of backup space in a location that's <1ms from my SeFlow dedicated servers and <0.5 from my IWStack VPS. I also have a 4GB RAM  VPS in Iceland (purchased for location and the 500Gb of disk space), and a few  >2GB VPS's in the...

    suggestion to merge all cc threats

    suggestion to change the forum name to UGVPS to reduce the confusion of google searchers who click on a ugvps.com search result link and find themselves at a forum named VPSBoard.

    Your biggest pain as a provider

    NY State requires that NY businesses charge sales tax on services sold to in-state residents so ChicagoVPS is one example of a provider that does charge sales tax to NY residents.

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    LET has a couple of interesting CC-based mo' RAM offers today.  123systems (interesting mainly because he changed his avatar to Aldryic's avatar with an x through it and has a 'nopony' coupon code.  2GB RAM/$30 annually).  On the unsustainable side of things, GVH has a $5 monthly 4GB RAM/290GB...

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    Clicking on the order links to make sure the company is still breathing before the offer goes live apparently falls under the 'can't do research' category.  There was an offer posted from FrapHost (FiberHub) on Christmas Day.  The first thing anyone sees when they click on the order link is:

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    Ignoring the fact that every other LEB offer is on CC's subpar network (I've tried 4 of their locations and network quality was not what I'd call great), the main reason I've found LEB less useful over the past few months is because there has been a decrease in the number of offers with non-US...
