    Kodo Technologies announces HostGuard VPS Control Panel

    Thanks :) I thought we had https set up on the primary web server when I was writing the docs, but apparently we didn't.  I've adjusted the docs to reflect that http:// should be used, but we do intend to serve the downloads over https. I'm a bit puzzled by your issue with MySQL - the install...

    Kodo Technologies announces HostGuard VPS Control Panel

    Thanks for your feedback!  Ah, typos.  I ran everything through spell-check, but of course, it missed that since it's a real word :P HostGuard does support migrations from within the panel itself.  You have the choice between near-zero downtime live migration, or offline migration. We do have...

    New vpsBoard theme

    I like it, as a concept.  Needs a few tweaks, particularly the max width as joepie mentioned.  One particular thing to note is that some of the red accents seem a bit out of place - particularly the red line in quotes between the header and the quoted content, and above / below the poll question.

    Best Linux OS for desktop use?

    For servers, I'm a Debian guy.  When it comes to desktops, I've always looked for 3 things in a Linux distro: A great KDE experience Relatively up-to-date Debian, or at least Debian-based Obviously, requirement #2 precludes the use of Debian, as even Debian Sid is usually way behind when it...

    How do you like your steak cooked?

    Rare to medium rare.  Occasionally I'll be in the moooooood for blue rare or under.

    anyNode Detroit KVM LAUNCH - 50% OFF!

    That's not really a selling point... What's the security like at the DC? :P

    Kernel update without reboot?

    That is supposedly the warning in the ksplice utilities.  One has to wonder... why would a company that charges for patches to be used with ksplace warn people that making and using your own patches could cause a crash?  And obviously, if you *are* going to patch your live, running kernel, I...

    Kernel update without reboot?

    Ksplice itself is free software.  If you want to use it with something other than Oracle Linux, you just need the new source and the source of the currently running kernel. A quick google leads to these instructions for doing the whole thing...

    Kernel update without reboot?

    While it's not *technically* a reboot... it's still a reboot, really.

    PHP Included header class active

    I would do something like this: <?php $links = array( 'Home' => '/index.php', 'VPS' => '/vps.php', ); $pageTitle = 'Whatever'; foreach ($links as $key => $href) { echo '<li class="dropdown'.($key == $pageTitle ? ' active' : '').'><a...

    Consumer perspective: openvz vs KVM

    Primarily because there's no overhead due to virtualization (since it's not virtualization at all).  Price is definitely a factor, but KVM prices are certainly falling, so that's really not much of a concern these days, and with KVM templates, reinstalls are quick too.

    Consumer perspective: openvz vs KVM

    As a customer, I usually choose OpenVZ unless I have a compelling reason to use KVM (such as needing a custom kernel or kernel modules, or wanting to run something other than Linux).

    Cell Phones

    I've got a Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod 10.2 nightlies.  It works well enough for me.  I don't need a huge screen, since I don't really do any "work" on my phone.  Anything bigger would just be useless for me.

    How To Contact Support, Properly.

    I have a tip:  If you're submitting a ticket where the provider may need to `vzctl enter` your container (OpenVZ), or log in to your KVM-based VPS, give them the information they'll need to do so - root/Administrator password, etc - and explicit permission for them to do so.  I don't know if all...

    Best control panel voting.

    zsh + GNU coreutils + nano = everything you need to manage a server. It's fast, lightweight, extremely powerful, and easy to set up. :P

    Which OS will you support

    I would split the money between Debian, KDE, and a few other projects that are worthy - ideally, smaller projects that show a lot of promise.

    WSI

    I've had absolutely 0 problems so far with WSI in the few months I've had a server with them.  Support has been top notch, even replying quickly on the weekend.
