    Are the days gone that it's hard to get a buyvm box?

    Well, at least the tradition of seeing 'Out of stock' is still in effect. Good luck with whatever changes you plan.

    How do you track your own VPS collection

    Billing/similar info: I keep a list stored within encrypted container. Availability/status: I use VPS-based scripts posting to Amazon SQS; another script reads the above messages and keeps a real-time status of every VPS reporting. Very simple and efficient. Zabbix/Nagios for monitoring.

    Good ol' debate OpenVZ vs KVM - Why yes, why not?

    Talking about these two, I see, amoing other disadvantages of OpenVZ: - SELinux incompatible (SELinux must be turned off) - ipset extension for netfilter not implemented (and it's unlikely it will be) The former means VPS lacks one of security defense lines. The latter makes filtering of...

    How to Optimize Apache for 128MB VPS?

    I mean Apache module, ModSecurity.org implementation (mod_security package in case of RedHat/CentOS/Fedora). I know there's Nginx implementation, but it's still not a stable release.

Note that if you run PHP-driven CMS, Apache isn't the only resources eater. Make sure you don't load unnecessary PHP modules, and...

    Why swapping when there is free memory?

    I agree, decrease swappiness. Type   sysctl vm.swappiness to see current level. If I have 2-4 Gb of RAM, I usually do not set it above 10. Higher value is sensible only when VPS is low of memory. To change the value on the fly:   sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10 and for permanent effect, add the...

    Ticket system e-mails

    Logging in from yet unknown IP address could be considered suspicious (breaking out of pattern). Answering the original post, I suppose that a checkbox "Only send me responses to my posts" would be nice to have.

    BBB alternative for hosting industry

    As far as I know, BBB-like approach simply won't work. It will be yet another good review/bad reviewstand, nothing more. Nothing can change eprsonal experience. I know several people whose reviews I can trust, that's enough for me. All the rest - only 'buy, try, review' approach would work...
