Um what?

They do say they're working on some network upgrades.  You might be right about disruption for market share.  But nobody builds an operation like Online/Scaleway to lose money in the long run.  I think they are not trying to compete with monthly VPS.  They're trying to be more like a...

Well, they have blogged about it and said they are adding more hardware: https://blog.scaleway.com/2015/11/03/scaleway-is-growing-too-fast-out-of-stock/ I was able to get a server just now so I guess I'll hold onto it for a while.  I had been thinking of spinning them up and down as needed.

The closed ticket is this one: http://travaux.ovh.net/?do=details&id=15238 It's in French and was updated more often and had more info than the English one.

I don't think Scaleway makes money on those €3 C1's.   They are underpowered even compared to any of the hip mobile phones this year.  They were selling them at €10 and my guess is nobody was buying and they had to do something with them.  I expect it's an older design and they have something...

OVH's arm64 is still in alpha test, they released 100 of them in September and then some more recently (but gone by the time I found out).  They are still a lot slower than a current x86 on a per-core basis but they have a lot of cores on a die, putting the box in the middle of the E5 range in...

They claim it's resolved now (ticket is closed) and they are working on having more fiber routes out of BHS.  They had something like that happen before and they did honor SLA claims.  I've been resisting temptation all day to buy one of their SSD VPS since I don't need it.

Maybe it's just some backend problem or maybe they're really out of stock, but at the moment they aren't exactly competing with Amazon.  Their UI is reporting that they are out of both C1 ARM servers and public IP addreses.  I don't have any right now and have sort of wanted to get one, but the...

Thanks, MannDude.  I don't mean to be giving you a hard time about this, just IPB.  Agreed, I have no idea how switching software would go over with other users.  I just know I prefer very simple, old-school designs like Craigslist or Hacker News if it's up to me. Re the backup slowdown: I...

Seems like the IPB software was downgraded to a newer version recently.  The activity feed https://vpsboard.com/activity/ stopped working although there's now https://vpsboard.com/discover/ which is similar but different and more JS dependent. The editing box has a bug where it doesn't stop...

Is SSD-2 really supposed to have the same specs as SSD-1 except for bandwidth?

You have 870 services generating $5K a year, about $5.75 per service per year average, and these are vps's?  Wonder who wants to take that on.  Do you have your own ipv4 space?

Hostigation is a good VPS company but I don't really see how browsing through a VPS will help, unless it's a geo-location issue.  If the Indianvisa is overloaded during a certain part of the day, it will be overloaded with or without a proxy.  If you want to give it a try, I suggest starting...

Yeah the basic idea is ffmpeg can upload to Icecast (icecast.org) which is a streaming server for webM and various audio formats.  I don't know what happens with non-webM video formats.  There's a couple tricks you need to get in-browser viewing to work reliably, mainly to insert way more key...

Mtr in both directions is a standard request.... I had packet loss with a ramnode vps the other day and they asked for that.  By the time I sent it the problem had cleared up, but at least it showed the issue was at their end.  Matt your expectations are unrealistic.  Just send the mtr's next time.

They're building new datacenters too: http://enterprisetimes.co.uk/2015/09/24/ovh-plans-massive-cloud-expansion/ Not sure I'd want a remote Windows desktop though, especially with transatlantic latency ;)

Thanks, yeah, I did see the brand shuffling between Runabove and OVH, but didn't notice til a while later that some new products appeared, namely some very large VPS's in the OVH public cloud (up to 240GB of ram, up to 32 vcores).  Pricing is better than comparable big AWS instances but not by...

Officially zero now: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2985340/ipv6/arin-finally-runs-out-of-ipv4-addresses.html HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10264513 DJB as usual saw it all coming at least 10 years ago: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html

Oh damn, it was open earlier today and I was going to sign up, didn't realize it would fill so fast.  Did anyone here get one?

See https://www.runabove.com/armcloud.xml  scroll down for instance specs and prospective pricing.  Right now you can only get 1 core but it's temporarily free.  They will go up to 24 cores and 48gb of ram for 0.10 euro/hour or 37.34 euro/month (their monthly rates are 0.5x hourly).  I think...
