    Looking for Xen based Linux VPS

    And you can oversell (balloon) memory on Xen.

    Looking for Xen based Linux VPS

    I find it somewhat disingenuous when providers say this. KVM and Xen can both absolutely be oversold.

    Summer 2013 - 4GB No wait... 8GB?

    I dunno what Prometeus might be doing that Edis isn't, but FWIW I haven't seen those sorts of issues at all with OVerZold.

    Care to recommend a good, affordable CDN?

    What about the IPS CDN? It's built into the software and at least the last time I checked was quite reasonably priced. http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/1174/entry-8017-introducing-ips-cdn-service/ Otherwise, I like MaxCDN and Amazon CloudFront. CloudFront has more POPs, but MaxCDN might...

    Any mobile apps for managing your VPS?

    For SolusVM on Android, VPSMon (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.texh.vpsmon) is the way to go. Way better than the official Solus app. The developer's super responsive, too; he added a bunch of stuff after an LET thread. No alerts, but you could suggest that to him and I...

    SwiftVM Shutting Down

    I never felt good about SwiftVM. It seemed like Chris left Nick only to blatantly copy his services but with lower prices. That's not exactly a sold business plan; nor is it particularly ethical.

    Need a router for the house.

    Belkin bought all of Cisco's home networking stuff a few months ago: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac49/ac0/ac1/ac259/belkin.html

    Best free DNS hosting?

    My problem with DNS Made Easy is that their prices, while reasonable at first, increase outrageously if you go above your plan's included number of queries. They're definitely competitively priced if you stay within those limits, but if you go over just once or twice Amazon Route 53's flat...

    vpsBoard - Community input and feedback on our infrastructure and future

    I worry this is going to sound rude but in my experience one of the biggest problems a lot of IT people face is a tendency to over-engineer things -- and I think that's what's going on here. Resist that urge and keep it simple. This is a relatively small site with a niche audience and a larger...

    Domain registrars and DNS server hosters

    If for whatever reason you don't like Internet.bs, you should try NameSilo. They're similar in some ways, though US-based. Consistently low prices, no trying to sell addons (even Namecheap does that), and no charging extra for things that should be included like private WHOIS (again, even...
