I've had three OVH servers (two dedi and one VPS, all in Canada) and have been favorably impressed with their network performance, though other aspects such as their support have ups and downs.

Wait, that has just one ipv6 address according to http://www.kimsufi.com/uk/#servers .  Are the users going to share that too?

Github is the new Facebook.

Yeah, lack of RAID is the main drawback of kimsufi.  Still, between regular backups and live database replication (maybe to a VPS) you can possibly do ok on a non-RAID server.  I know of a very big web site that operated that way for years (not sure about now).  They just accepted that if a...

What do you want with the 4 cores?  You can get a kimsufi dedicated server starting 5 euro (around $7).  The 15 euro one (2 core i3-2130) should be faster than a 4-core 5520 or the like.  Even the 2-core Atom is probably faster on a sustained basis than a vps with 4 shared cores.  If you're...

I don't quite understand what freshmate/freecode was about, though I looked at it sometimes.  Sourceforge (a terrible site) was pretty much killed by github (another terrible but slicker site). 

Thanks.  I'm not too concerned about the network as long as it basically works most of the time.  I'd be using the i7-2600 with 2x 3TB drives.  Comparable OVH servers have 2x 2TB and mine is just about completely full but not increasing fast enough to justify adding a second server.

Wonder how this sort of thing will play if (hah) DNSSEC gets widely deployed.  I had the impression (maybe wrong, I wasn't paying attention) that no-ip was a legitimate service being misused, as opposed to a scam front.  So I'm not keen on tons of their users having their DNS traffic intercepted...

What do you mean by "uniquely written and published"?  Just that the item hasn't been published elsewhere before (i.e. you want first publication rights but it's ok to republish the material elsewhere afterwards, maybe after a short waiting period)?  Or do you want long term exclusive rights? ...

You got substantial discounts at the register for stuff you bought with the card.  There may also have been "rewards" that nobody cared about.  If there's not a group where you live, that means you're elected to start one!

Last I knew, LXC doesn't try to isolate containers against deliberate breakout attempts the way OpenVZ does.  It's more intended to run a lot of basically cooperating application instances with separate IP addresses, configurations, etc.  Docker is about the same way and apparently this OpenVZ...
