Can't go wrong with Colostore for budget colo, we have a cage there along with Hostcolor and UnlimitedNet.  We are also joining the peering exchange that is there (GlobeIX). Their shared colo area includes UPS power (and a diesel generator for the whole facility), a remote reboot port, and you...

You don't want to set: ALL : ALL in hosts.deny if you're just trying to block SSH connections.  It would be: sshd : ALL otherwise your going to block connections to other TCP services. You also shouldn't need to restart sshd after modifying the hosts files.

If you can stream a 1080p video at 6mbps through Netflix or Youtube then I find it hard to define the minimum requirements of broadband at 25mbps.   I like how they put "high-quality voice" in the description.  So what is that?  Like 96kbps? On the other side, for video communication, 3mbps up...

I'm kind of curious as to how it works.   I know you may not want to release that information.  I only received 0's and 1's on the IPs I tested, it looks like there is supposed to be a score between 0 and 1 for most addresses though. I'm curious as to how common false positives are.  Does it...

In most virtual servers, the drives and drivers are emulated.  I don't think there would be any way of you seeing anything beyond the device they provide to you. 

No.  Only if you're exceeding the IOPS of your previous disk setup.  If you only use a few IOPS, then you won't notice a difference between a SATA and SSD setup.  If you're running a database intensive site, like WebHostingTalk for instance, that probably uses a few thousand IOPS then the SSD...

From the looks of it, he's a VPS user, not a host.   There is no way to do a yum update on templates (beyond entering a VPS, running a yum update, and repackaging it).  John posted it above, the way to update templates is: vztmpl-dl --update-all

It really depends on what you're trying to do and where you're trying to work.  Large datacenters have a variety of jobs including network engineers, L1/L2/L3 support,  database administrators,  programmers/developers for backend systems,  then marketing and sales.   One datacenter may have...

Throwback.  Mouse doesn't seem to work/sync correctly unless I'm full screen and my monitor is too big for 8-bit at full screen.  Anyone else having that issue?  Seems only a few games need the mouse though.

There is no action script for destroy which would be the easy way.   I've never had this problem before so I've never attempted to do a check but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard with your own script. Just include the config file and verify $VE_PRIVATE is equal to /vz/private/$VEID. In bash...

They were even more similar prior to the PCS switch.  Back when it was Virtuozzo (and vzctl as well), the only things I could think of being different were the vzfs (improvements but similar to simfs), the VZPP (power panel), and the optional SLM memory management which so many hosts advertised...

Just some added explanation for anyone who comes across this.  Make sure to use $VEID in the config file when possible. (This is the default) Example: VE_PRIVATE="/vz/private/$VEID" This will make it use the directory according to the actual ID of the server.  This way you won't be at risk of...

Good point.  Complaining about small things with a free service with no real alternatives is kind of pointless.

Free services with my business email?  Probably about 30 seconds.  I see your point but I don't even consider this as spam.  You can opt-out in the control panel, you most likely opted in to emails when you signed up, you can clearly see it is an advertisement right away with the subject and the...

Considering I use fraudrecord to check all orders and don't pay a dime.  I really don't mind the 15 seconds it takes to view and delete an email.

Whats the big deal?  One email in the two years I have been a member.  Not a big enough deal to make a discussion about in my opinion.  It is a free service that most hosts here take part in, so if you get one ad email, even weekly, it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.  Just delete it and move on.

What about the switch to PHP FastCGI and run the processes as the site user?  Assuming you have multiple users on the system, this not only is more secure (with proper permissions) but it allows you to separate php from apache load and monitor php load per user.  With loads like that, I'm...

Unless you're trying for 4K video, 10mbps is enough to stream on Youtube.  You can view the stats, from what I remember 2160p is 25mbps, 1440p is ~9mbps, 1080p is around 6mbps. Ripoff is questionable.  It depends on your area.  Just remember, if you were purchasing 100mbit fiber link from...

Just like Washington.  Net Neutrality gets knocked down, so they make a new Net Neutrality bill with more pork in it.  This doesn't have anything to do with Net Neutrality and why do they have to lump the Universal Service Fund, and probably more things, in with Net Neutrality?   What's wrong...

So I decided to update this after actually buying a TV.  I actually ended up replacing my dual monitor setup in my office with a 39" Seiki UHD that I got a deal on for Cyber Monday and so far so good after a few days. I'm running Win DPI at 150% and 3820x2140 and couldn't be happier so far. ...
