@SeriesN I'm still waiting for the "free pop-up KVM VPS". Where's mine? @Jade, I do like the logo. 

I feel like I could meet all the requirements. I have a lot of experience with this stuff, and I know I could set up a good host. But I have not been active in the LET/B community since the hacks, I don't have enough time to do it right, I wouldn't be able to offer IPv6 because, you know...

Actually, IIRC BuyVM has that file for the root user, at least on the OpenVZ templates. It might be blank, though.

The "why" is as I expected, but this I still don't understand. Where does the 49%/51% that Hurricane Electric shows come from? If really the traffic is being divided so unequally in your example, what do those numbers mean?

Thanks @EarthVPN, that makes sense, and also clears up some stuff I've seen on my own home connection. How and why do companies configure their network this way?

This is getting beyond what I know, which is good. Keep in mind this is a general overview, I certainly know and understand that things can be much more complex.

Well said. If you treat your provider right, they'll treat you right. I don't know how long you've been with this provider @NodeworksIX, but since it's long enough that you've gotten the impression that they're "pretty cool", then you're probably already on their list of customers that are...

Great to see you've opened a new location - how long has it been online?

I say go ahead and tell them. They'll probably leave it. If not, then you be getting what you're paying for, and in fact what you expected and were completely happy with until you realized you had more. But be sure to use smilies in your e-mail, like this:

Sure wish upload weren't so generally crappy. 

Glad you liked it. I'm sure this is familiar to many of us, but we all learned it at one point, possibly slowly. This will hopefully help people to figure it out all at once. Nice bandwidth blend there. Reminds me - consider this an "appendix": Upstream providers I like: Level3 Hurricane...

Disclaimer: I do not pretend to be an expert on this subject, but this is how I do it. Feel free to add or critique anything I say here. Not all VPSes are created equal. There are many ways two VPSes with identical specs can differ, making one better than the other. Overselling, a provider's...

I try to use 5.4 when I have the choice. I use Ubuntu on my VPSes, and a lot of providers' Ubuntu image is 12.04, which only has PHP 5.3, so I use a PPA to get 5.4. I like it a lot (and thus don't mind going through the above hoops) because of two main new features: function return array...

If you include whitespace, it looks more like ten lines to me (two blank spaces after "-MannDude"). But it doesn't matter, 'cause he's the boss.

I'm not familiar with that DC, what do you like about it that you're looking for VPSes there?

Or put your mouse over any sig and click the X in the top right corner. You can turn off all signatures, or just ones that really bother you (which there shouldn't be any of now). A brilliant feature in IP.Board, IMHO.

You know what? Forget the private island and the strippers, I'd just buy out the world. The GWP (gross world product) is only in the trillions. I'd take a couple for that price :)

Meh... If first one was .com or second one was shorter they might be worth more. As-is, I wouldn't pay more than $50 for either.

Movie idea! The opening scene starts with a generic "new e-mail" sound. The scene fades in to a desk with a nameplate showing that this is the CEO of PayPal. He wakes up when he hears the new e-mail sound, and sees what he's done. First line out of his mouth: "ShitShitShitShit!!!!" Next scene...

Hope my sig isn't too over the top. :P Seriously, though, these seem like reasonable rules. Hopefully these rules will improve the signal-to-noise ratio without anyone getting ruffled over them.
