    Tactical VPS 2GB - LA

    So security was an afterthought? How can someone lauch a commercial website without taking security seriously? Yes, to me it indicated someone who was either not knowledgeable or flat out didn't care about their customers. Personally, I  thought it was more about lack of technical know how.

    Limiting the CPU resources a bash script can consume when running?

    I would audit the script to find out which process are being fired off that are eating cpu cycles. As an example, sometimes a script will have separate grep and awk commands and in many cases only one needs to be run. Also the liberal use of "cat" can be streamlined many times and keep pipes...

    Tactical VPS 2GB - LA

    You did? Not me. When I was looking into hosting with them a few months back and clicked on the client page to process the order it was full on http. Absoulutely no SSL/TLS. When I posted about this on one of the reviews on the review section, I was basically ignored.

    I don't know the rules of this forum but commenters like this should be banned automatically and their posts deleted. Just my 2 cents worth...

    Compile nginx from source or use apt-get install nginx?

    I would recommend to compile, it gives much more control in terms of keeping the executable nice and lean with only the needed modules.

    haveged = excellent

    Thanks to wlanboy for bringing up haveged and this post: Here is my story. I run rsylog as a central logging server that gets log data from two client VPSs via an SSL/TLS connection. To enhance entropy I was using rngd with the following in the config file: HRNGDEVICE=/dev/urandom Everything...

    I can program, I can manage Linux & I can do whatever you need.

    I love how some of the members here are crapping on the dude's request for a job. Let the man's thread stand on its own merits.

    I don't know if it was a 504, I just know that I could not bring up the site at all.

    How do you monitor your vps uptime?

    I use xymon for uptime and server health in addition to a custom bash script for just uptime monitoring and notification.

    Impressed by a Celeron!

    20 Watts at idle from a regular psu is impressive. Hook up a PicoPSU and it will likely drop to 13W or so.

    which control panel

    And that's perfectly fine if the user is comfortable with the shell and feels a control panel adds functionality. My issue is with beginners that choose to start off with control panels without first learning the shell.

    which control panel

    Using a control panel for a server/VPS is like only learning how to drive a vehicle with an automatic transmission. Why limit yourself?

    It looks I need Your help guys

    Francisco, no need to apologize about your site design. In fact, I like the minimalist approach. It was only brought up as an example of how site design has little to do with a successful product.

    Really? Go visit BuyVMs website and tell me what you think of it.

    It looks I need Your help guys

    To start off, there is no need to capitalize the "y" in "your". The reason that you are not getting clients has nothing to do about the colors or any cosmetic issue with the website. The problem is that you are one of thousands in the hosting business and you offer nothing special. My advice...

    need help from a photographer

    The dude asked for opinions from a photographer. Based on you post, the only thing to take away is that you don't know anything about photography. Your post is absurd.
