Ahh, just looked up the test IP and realized you're with Incero. Gordon still hasn't gotten around to implementing IPv6 either, so that would make it harder for you guys. As to ISP support, they seem to be saying "well, a lot of the DCs/providers aren't supporting it yet, so why should we?". And...

In case this isn't a joke, just to let you know @jcaleb, @jarland is one of the "group of friends" that runs CatalystHost. My question is, when will you guys feel comfortable offering IPv6? I've seen @jarland mention how he's not rushing in to it since he wants to learn about the technology...

A couple of things. First, yes, I would like to see more NYC offers - no question about that. However: would there be IPv6? What network would this be through? Second, as it stands, no matter how attractive your offer, I wouldn't buy from you for one crucial reason: your website sucks. The...

So how would such a thing ever get fixed? Not a big deal for me personally (though it could mean slow DNS for a fifth of my IPv6 users), but surely other people are going to have trouble here. Will Above.net just notice this eventually and fix it? I hope so.

I use the home row method and average about 65 WPM. I used to hunt and peck and was pretty good at it, getting probably 50-55 WPM. But then I took a computer class in high school and I had to learn the "right" way of typing. Gotta say it annoyed me that with all that bother, I only increased my...

That's exactly what I'd like to know. But all I can tell you is that it does not make that final hop, just hangs, giving empty hops with the three asterisks until the 30 hop limit is reached. 

So I've got a VPS in Dallas, TX with Versatile IT. Brendan's upstream there is Virtbiz Internet Services, AS40395. They peer heavily with Above.net, and tonight there seems to be something fishy with those routes. A traceroute out to a VPS with BudgetVM in Chicago (also a big Above.net peer over...

First poll results, yay! About what I expected. Every provider has earned their place on this list, and I wish the best of luck to all of them. Particularly Ramnode. Despite what I said in the poll, I am fully behind Nick.

To all the people who posted responses to my little rant, here you go: you're right. If nothing else, the disk space does make this tempting. Then when you consider the dedicated resources, this will be extremely attractive to many. I'm not among them, but if you are, have at it. All good y'all? :)

What does this have to do with sysadmin day? I thought you were always binge drinking...

Granted the disk space is good, but as mentioned there is no RAID, and also as mentioned there's a good chance these HDDs aren't new. OVH has probably already gotten their ROI on them, and now they're selling them again with a higher potential for failure. If you don't mind backing up 500GB of...

Disagree. @ is completely right. Other than dedicated resources, there is nothing to commend these servers to anyone. I can get better resources with a VPS any day of the week, which I why I'm not getting one of these. And I'm not a VPS provider.

Strange - bgp.he.net has no record of AS62599. Do you not have any peering or IPs setup yet? I do hope you can get this running soon - any provider with their own IPs/ASN is definitely on my "providers to take seriously" list. Looking forward to NYC!

I'm not entirely sure if that's "one or two" or "half". I'm hoping it's the latter, as I like me a good 512MB VPS. It's the perfect size to guarantee that unless there was a huge traffic spike, a VPS could easily handle a full LAMP stack with no issues. If I were to get an NYC VPS from y'all...

lol redundancy. I keep local backups of everything with some uptime checking. If anything went down I would be notified and could put something back online within at most an hour. Nothing I have is critical enough to warrant redundancy, or any system more complex than this. So my site is down...

If you're going to be in actual NYC with IPv6, I'd love to get a VPS from you. Something smaller though. The OpenVZ.io brand is great and all, but I have only two high end VPSes; mostly what I want is smaller machines. On a related note, are you going to be able to offer the same or similar...

Ah yes, where would us sysadmins be without "our" day. :)

I can do this as well, possibly better. Just sayin'. If you want a sample, I'll e-mail you a fixed version of @shovenose's post.

I know, right? I'm curious, though: how does one of these compare to a KVM with, say, one or two E3 cores and 2GB RAM?

Also, where's contest 3/3?
