    Psychz Networks / PhotonVPS new DC - Downtown Los Angeles

    Lovely, I had to ban a bunch of IPs from this host due to crazy amount of nefarious activity coming from their clients.

    what if no firewall?

    At your home, your ISP supplied modem/router uses a hardware firewall with NAT that automatically protects (hides your computer) from their systems. When you set up a vps/dedicated server on a data center, you don't get the benefits of a hardware firewall and automatic NAT and are wide open and...

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    drmike it is my take that probably the most vocal of the "vps benchmarks are useless" voices are VPS hosts that don't quite measure up. From my own benchmark testing, RamNode and BuyVM are the best performers and those benchmark results translate properly to actual production performance. It...

    Domain Registrars?

    I don't have any domains with internet.bs but their pricing is ridiculously low (and tempting)...a .com for $8.49? Wasn't there a recent fee increase from ICANN? Most .com registrations now a days are between $13-$15. They are either taking a loss with each sale or making pennies per domain...

    DD Script

    So according to some people here, VPS benchmarks are meaningless...interesting. So what do these people do to get a sense of performance? Maybe they run the actual application? Well, wouldn't it too be subjected to the same environment as a synthetic benchmark and have periods of highs and...

    DD Script

    I like the idea but not the execution. After some time all this data will be unreadable. Either: Graph the data or Reduce the number of runs each day to maybe every six or eight hours

    Sharing connection from Windows to Linux

    I meant connect via wireless directly to the router.

    Sharing connection from Windows to Linux

    Instead of sharing the windows connection, why don't you just connect directly to your relative's router with each device. It will certainly be easier and less cluttered.

    JuiceSSH Pro (Android SSH client) free until March 18

    Thanks NickM for bringing this excellent app to my attention and for the free upgrade! I had used ConnectBot in the past but stop using it due to poor usability mainly due to small screen size of an android phone and the lack of special keys. JuiceSSH displays properly on the same android...

    VPSBoard New Logo

    @ MannDude the file was not meant as a plug-n-play. It was an idea only. All the file needs is massaging and less compression, but you don't like it so we'll leave it at that.

    VPSBoard New Logo

    @ MannDude I had to put a black backgound to see the image properly on the forum. I emailed you the files with the transparent background which is really the only way to test to see how it looks on the forum. This is what I was referring to:
