    $1.79/Year VPS - 32MB - 1.5GB HDD

    Certainly, it even mentions your in-house panel on their page.

    Virtuavps another summer host?

    Daddy left the alcohol cabinet unlocked.

    Need some more MySQL magic.

    Then you've got a very long job ahead of you haven't you ;) Hah no though, that sucks. Even though I know what they're like over there it always shocks me how the leading billing software in the hosting industry is so behind technology. You could say that for a lot of the practices of a lot of...

    Need some more MySQL magic.

    You should move to the MySQLi (MySQL Improved/php5-mysqlnd) extension instead for PHP. Other than needing an explicit database link (so you need to save your mysqli_connect() to a variable, then do mysqli_query($dbLink, $query); ). It also has built in, good support for stuff like prepared...

    $1.79/Year VPS - 32MB - 1.5GB HDD

    Let's be fair though, you did say Glasgow. If you don't serve somebody there they'll probably glass you with the bottle they just finished ;)

    DigitalOcean Planning UK Location

    Meh. If you like waiting years for features, a pretty web panel and having less choice of location stick to DO. I don't think I'll be putting any more credit into my DO account once it runs out with Vultr about. Like everyone I was weary at first (that shitty name) but they're really proving...

    $1.79/Year VPS - 32MB - 1.5GB HDD

    I think it's because you look 20. I used to (and obviously now I've been of age a few years) always used to get served too but it was a bit of an oddity. Maybe it is a regional thing but I know loads of my internet (and real life when I couldn't get served or wasn't there) friends back in the...

    $1.79/Year VPS - 32MB - 1.5GB HDD

    Of course, I just didn't think this was the place ;P It's not 70-80% of 16 year olds getting served these days either, at least not in my area and the surrounding ones. The police will remove your alcohol license if you're known as someone who is providing alcohol directly to minors. Of course...

    $1.79/Year VPS - 32MB - 1.5GB HDD

    You can make (some) contracts in the United Kingdom at the age of 16. We've got weird ages for stuff here. Drink and smoke at 18, drive at 17, age of consent and somewhat considered a legal adult at 16. Smoking age was 16 like 10 years ago aswell...

    [Topic Split] Budget Services

    This. No reputable company is going to give you a good enough box at less than $10 year (and certainly not $1 month to month) that'll handle a mail server well, at least a fully functioning one. Don't get me wrong I love my SecureDragon 64MB box but that coupled with the disk space isn't really...

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    I personally am more interested in the uptime/load/available power over time.

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    You can technically use the whole /64 on KimSufi just don't be surprised if they revoke your subnet, especially for stuff like this.

    New winamp.com website

    Really good article on why Nullsoft went from hero to zero on Ars Technica. A lot of media players actually have pretty interesting histories. Here's an article by the guys at Panic about the rise and fall of their software Audion for Mac and how it almost became iTunes before Apple bought...

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    Not good. It's not even a design. Look at the websites of some of the most popular hosts. Your public image will also help to determine the type of clients you will get. The abusers will sign up no matter what (although sometimes even they'll flinch) but even for $0.10/y if it doesn't look like...

    Happy Birthday, America.

    Yeah but you guys fucked it up so much we don't even want it back anymore. I'll talk to the Queen about sorting you a passport or something though.

    Did anybody else grab a Raspberry Pi from FitVPS during yesterday's special?

    Nope, couldn't justify it to myself. Got a VPS in Bulgaria and I don't really need a new box - besides, with the VAT it was only £1 less monthly than the cheapest Kimsufi (sans setup fee). Nice offer and all, I just couldn't personally justify it.

    Did SEO / fake traffic gang get put offline?

    That was another issue. It was definitely behind CF yesterday as I experienced the AMS issues. I think it's been behind CF for a while now, probably at least since start of 2014.

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    nginx and php are okay on 32MB, I would advise against using mysql on it though. Below I would say... 256MB, any RAM you save you will add 2x or maybe 3x load on the CPU or the disk. The minimum I run MySQL on is a 128MB instance that's only used by me for Observium. 128MB would still probably...
