    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    Well, the whole reason is of course to cut cost to offer the low prices. Adding IPMI on proper E3/E5 is not a problem. It'd be more than 2x the price on those though. But feedback noted.

    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    I found it on Amazon. The cost is almost the cost of the server etc.

    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815802012 discontinued. Also the price costs almost the same as the server itself. Rather include IPMI in that case, but this is a budget offering so...

    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    Yes, the fee is just the cost of remote hands (to cover the costs we have to pay) to hook it up and disconnect it after - whatever it is. I don't expect it to be used often. You can lend it for a couple of hours.

    NSA project, "X-Keyscore" collects nearly everything you do on the internet.

    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    Would you buy a dedicated server without IPMI?   Provided that remote re-install is available and automated by customer (via PXE).   A rescue system is also available (via PXE).   Remote reboot is available (via Switched PDU or tickets free).   remote KVM is available for loan for a...

    KS dedicated server or vps?

    Yes/no. The VPS Node ("server") is part of the managed contract by the provider (or so I hope so and we do). This means that if it goes down or suffers any problems we fix it. Only the VPS part is unmanaged/managed depending on the plan.

    NSA can decrypt VPNs?

    Forget the certs. They HAVE the private key etc to the cert.

    First foray into dedicated - additional considerations....

    If you keep spinning the drive up/down (by shutting down and starting it up again constantly) it'd likely kill it faster.

    Good qualifications for hosting/internet related jobs?

    Aren't you a host but? :p Anyway, depends if you want to get into networking or system administration etc - those would be the courses you should be taking.

    NSA can decrypt VPNs?

    Well anything can be brute forced provided you have enough money. When you have data centers and supercomputers for mass processing it does wonders. Encryption is just so no one can in a reasonable time for reasonable cost.
