    Cloudflare free tier DDOS protection

    Kicking out -- as in no more CloudFlare at all, including DNS -- and routing directly for the duration of the attack are two very different things. They're pretty upfront about doing the latter for the free plan in case of very large attacks. That's why they don't advertise anything below...

    Searching for a simple CMS

    +1 for GetSimple! Works fantastically with nginx too.

    Kodo Technologies announces HostGuard VPS Control Panel

      I'm about 100ms away and the site loads fairly quickly for me, for the record. Not the fastest site ever, but I wouldn't call it slow.

    The truth about Mao and BuyVM

    I have services with both BuyVM and Prometeus, and I thought both were pretty trustworthy. But after this thread I'm not so sure about the former. Mao's... opinionated, to say the least, but expressing an opinion, whether right, wrong, or just distasteful, is entirely different than making...

    New vpsBoard theme

    The lack of a "Mark all read" button on the "View new content" page with the new theme is a bit of a downer (unless I'm blind, which is entirely possible).

    Improve the theme and the fonts on this forum?

    Yeah, I have to do the same thing. Comparing this forum to WHT, everything's much more readable there -- despite the font size being the same -- because of the text color choices. Even just changing the post text here to black would help a lot. vs. Yeah, I have to do the same thing. Comparing...

    [Chicago] Intel Xeon Budget Dedicated Servers From VaporNode - $60/month

    I think he's quite right that you have a name problem, but not for the reason he gave. Far and away the most common use of the word "vapor" in the tech industry is "vaporware." Not exactly the most positive connotation, that.

    LiteSpeed vs. OpenLiteSpeed vs. nginx vs. Apache 2.2 vs. Apache 2.4!

    Nothing's getting removed from the free version. The commercial version adds a few features (like an application delivery controller) that the free version's never had. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2047200/nginx-web-server-goes-commercial-with-new-release.html Anyways if OpenLiteSpeed had...

    Storage VPS Offers United States and Canada

    Backupsy's 500GB plan is $7/mo with the code "LEBNOV500"... though Dallas (Incero) seems to be sold out right now, so I think you're left with Orlando if you don't want ColoCrossing (unless they're with Quadranet directly in LA, I'm not sure).

    VPS provider with cheap cPanel licenses?

    If I have an $11 external license through another provider (a reseller of yours) would you match that? I'd rather go directly through you.

    OK, which one of you stole my credit card...

    I've had a debit card number I never even used online stolen, presumably by some unscrupulous employee in a brick-and-mortar retailer. It's not fun, obviously, but disputing a charge (or charges) is stupidly easy -- and that's if the bank doesn't catch the activity before you even see it, which...

    Zabbix Series 1: Scalability

    Zabbix is definitely a good alternative to Nagios Core (the free version). The big advantage Nagios has is the massive number of addons that are already out there -- chances are if there's something you want to monitor or a piece of software you want to integrate with it's already been done. If...

    PremiumVM Up for Sale.

    In general electricity in New York is more expensive than in New Jersey. Buffalo's an exception owing to the cheap and abundant hydroelectric power generated from Niagara Falls.

    Best way to copy DNS from one provider to another (CF to RS)

    Speed is measurable and CloudFlare's DNS is objectively faster than Rackspace's (almost 10x faster). The only DNS providers in the same league when it comes to speed are Dyn and DNSMadeEasy. http://www.solvedns.com/dns-comparison/2013/09

    "true cloud" providers

    Yeah, I'm waiting for the same thing before switching most of my stuff over. They're already planning on it and are field testing US datacenters now. http://vpsboard.com/topic/2018-prometeus-expands-to-dallas-today-not-april-1st/

    "true cloud" providers

    Prometeus' iwStack is probably hands-down the best HA solution you're going to find here -- CloudStack, KVM, on a heavy-duty SAN, at an awesome price (under 4 euros/mo for a 512mb instance with 15gb of storage).  http://iwstack.com/
