I assume we'll see Centos 7 released closer to RHEL7 than Centos 6 was to RHEL6. I don't see why Red Hat would go to all this trouble to shut it down or start charging for it. The obvious profit opportunity is to keep companies in their ecosystem, even if they're not paying money now they may...

You can't do that on the cheap high-RAM VPSes though, you'll get booted for CPU abuse. That's where the challenge comes in - actually doing something useful with a lot of RAM without a lot of CPU or disk I/O.

I don't see how the usual skid wars is relevant to VPSBoard.

It's almost certainly not necessary but I'm paranoid about disk I/O usage on VPSes (I don't want to be a noisy neighbour), especially OpenVZ where I can't monitor how many IOPS I'm using with iostat.

High RAM oversold-type VPSes (I mean the >=2GB $7 type) are most useful for trading memory for some other resource (disk I/O, CPU usage, etc.) Cache, cache, cache! Tune your database (e.g. MySQL) so your whole DB fits in memory - that way reads don't need to hit disk at all and you only have...

I'm a customer of both BuyVM and Prometeus. The way Mao has been carrying on like a petulant child in public for a long time, Sal's implicit support and a ticket where I was not satisfied with Mao's/"John's" ability to competently do his job, has destroyed the confidence I had in Prometeus and...

I liked it better when Mao shat on LET instead of vpsboard...

The layout looks functional, there's a clear visual hierarchy, the most common needed features are at the top (except for RDNS, but in a multi-IP approach there's not much else you could do other than give it a chunk of space) and I'd have no complaints if I saw that panel as a customer... But...

Spamhaus does have a bit of a reputation for being very difficult to work with if they don't know you, but then again we are only hearing one side of the story here.  Either way I can't see any amicable resolution coming when they've already decided someone's a spam operation and when someone's...

http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/listings/singlehop.com LunaNode wasn't the only source of SBL listings for SingleHop and it probably just reached a number where SpamHaus spanked them.

If they designate you a "spam operation" (as they seem to have done in one listing there) they will list any IPs they associate with you, regardless of any lack of actual spam.

:P

This issue pops up from time to time (especially amongst us lowly non-providers, but occasionally even in offer threads) so I figured it'd be good to have a Google-able thread for it. Since WHMCS is a bit odd, to link to a product: GOOD...

Red Hat have announced that RHEL 7 beta is now available for those with subscriptions. I doubt too many people here have Red Hat subs but this is stuff likely to be in the final RHEL 7 and thus the next major releases of Centos, Scientific Linux, etc. Some interesting changes: dropped 32 bit...

The title says "4GB RAM KVM From $6.99" but there is no offer matching that description in the post.

What an incredibly rude post.

Well done. Nice and dark brown on the outside and no pink left in the middle. Yum. *prepares for shitstorm*

Come on, Martin, surely you can squeeze out a proper rant about the good old dd test? :)

Yeah Opera is dead. The old version with their own rendering engine (and actual features) isn't maintained any more and without updates to the site-specific fixes more and more sites will break in it over time (plus I'm sure there'll be security bugs in the not too distant future). There's no...
