I just got an e-mail from SwiftVM, a company offering VPSes out of San Diego (AIS) run by Christopher Easton and Jordy. Unfortunately, it seems they are shutting down. They opened just in March, which is unfortunate as I really liked their services. They had SSD and (towards the end) SSD-cached...

So as some of you may be aware, I'm working on a server/domain tracking panel. As this is my first script designed for public release, I'm wondering what's the best way to handle the installation procedures. Specifically, how do I set it up so that someone who downloads it will know how to put...

I can't connect to WebHostingTalk. I get connection refused. I'm not an active member myself, but that's a big forum to go down.

Why do ticket systems insist on sending me an e-mail when I open a ticket? I know I just opened that ticket! Why do you have to clutter my inbox with an e-mail that tells me almost nothing. Definitely e-mail me when someone replies, but otherwise I have enough e-mails to juggle without that one...

I had a thread about this on LET right before the hacks, I'd like to restart it now. I'm curious about how easy it is to get a VPS with IPv6 in certain cities. I already have several that I know about pretty well, but any you can help me find out more about is a plus. Here's what I've got (in...

I have two VPSes from URPad in my "collection" that I'm selling. Both expire in November, one on the tenth, one on the 12th. They are both from their $12/year 256MB promo, but they both have upgrades. Here's the deal: 256MB memory, 15GB disk, 500GB BW, 2 IP addresses, originally $16/yr...

Namecheap is running some sort of "personal domain" promotion that gives you a .me domain and one free e-mail for $.98 for the year. But you can't just go to the home page, pick .me, and enter the domain you want. No, you have to go here and enter your first and last name and pick from the...

This is a continuation of my accidentally archived thread about setting up an IPv6 tunnel. I currently am using gogoclient to accomplish this, but their servers are frequently too busy to let me tunnel through, and it just generally feels unreliable. I've tried the HE.net tunnel broker service...

ServerHub, a subsidiary of Eonix corporation, has had an ad running on LET/B for quite some time for a server with 2GB of memory, 100GB disk, 2.5TB BW, and 5 IP addresses for $7/mo. I mean come on, can you really resist a deal like that? So I picked one up, I've now had it for two months, and I...

Check out this place on Google Maps. Use satellite/earth view and scroll over a little to the left. Edit - screenshot: Click the link if you want to find out where this is.

I'm having trouble with a lot of sites loading AJAX libraries from Google's CDN. The one at ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/*. Is anyone else having this issue? A lot of sites won't finish loading until they can fetch their jQuery/prototype/whatever from there, and since it's slow, all the other...

I just reinstalled a VPS of mine (RamNode) and am trying to set up a LAMP stack. The server is running Ubuntu 12.10, so I ran apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-curl php5-mcrypt php5-mysql mysql-client mysql-server It retrieved the packages, then in "preconfiguring packages" the installer asked...

As the title indicates, this is not a tutorial but a request for one. I'd like to know what the best way is to set up a really small VPS (64MB or less) to use the minimum amount of memory. Reply here, and once a good tutorial is added as a reply, I'll remove the request flag and link to the...

As I understand it, the biggest advantages of owning one's own IPs is portability. Move to a new DC and you can take your IPs along with you. However it seems to me there are a lot of disadvantages that would make it less than worth it for providers that aren't of a rather large size. Perhaps...

@trewq from Versatile IT was kind enough to provide me with a VPS to review in his new Phoenix location. I've had it for over a month now and have done some testing on it, so I figured it's time to write the review. Before I get in to specs, I'd just like to say that he has been great in working...

I'm looking for a low end VPS in the northeast U.S. (or southeast Canada) with IPv6 capabilities (a must). No bigger than 256MB memory, disk space no object (2GB would do), and low bandwidth (50GB minimum). The main thing is it must have native IPv6. My budget for this VPS is up to $5/mo...

As most of you probably know, I'm somewhat of an IPv6 fiend. Sadly, my ISP isn't, so I've been forced to tunnel my IPv6. The only working solution I've found for this is via the "gogoclient", which has multiple issues, mainly reliability. I'm wondering if there is any way (preferably not an...

I'm getting a new laptop today. It's the HP Envy m6-1225dx from Best Buy. i5 processor, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (though I might spring for an SSD in it), backlit keyboard, 5.3lbs (2.4kg). Seems like a nice machine, what do you guys think?

Going through some logs just now and I saw a few interesting entries such as: [Wed May 01 04:18:18 2013] [error] [client 198.7.63.79] File does not exist: /var/www/w00tw00t.at.blackhats.romanian.anti-sec:) [Wed May 01 04:18:18 2013] [error] [client 198.7.63.79] File does not exist...

I've gotten in the habit of running `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` every time I log in to one of my VPSes. Lately I've been seeing the usual upgrades, but also MySQL packages that are being "kept back". I did an `apt-get dist-upgrade` on one of my VPSes to test, and now MySQL seems like...
