It only runs on Ubuntu with the latest kernels (so can't use OpenVZ). It's exactly what I was looking for but the OS has been the headache, not ServerPilot itself. The best way to describe ServerPilot is that it is "a control panel for people who do not want a control panel". Basically it...

We use it for production and development. I really love it but I absolutely hate Ubuntu and it has caused us a lot of downtime since switching to it. I wrote an extremely elaborate script to reduce the downtime but on Debian and CentOS the same script was 4 lines and worked 100% of the time and...

But sometimes they don't knock. While we've been lucky to not have experienced this first hand, I've also been lucky enough to be privy to some details of data centers that get regular visits from multiple agencies sometimes weekly. The staff say that most of the time it's just a drive pull or a...

If the customer gives us the same courtesy and notifies us that he's spamming, hacking, DOSing, plans to chargeback after 3 months of service, or violate our Terms of Service and steal from us then I'll be glad to notify them that they've been added to FraudRecord, but until that happens they...

@Nett How does making your VPS unrouteable count as protection or mitigation? Protecting other clients yes, but advertising it as protection to the buyer implies it protects the buyer.

I see a lot of "free DDOS protection" advertised on WHT but it ends up meaning "free automated nullrouting"... maybe we need to define DDOS protection in the first post just to be safe.

@trewq Thanks for that! :) Edit: I can edit!

Oh, and a nice little link for those needing something cheaper: https://securedragon.net/ddos/ (Can't edit on mobile. :()

Yup, we host our Portland nodes in CNServers.

I use VMware's ESXi for personal usage but the free license has a max of 32GB of RAM so if you go above that go with KVM.

@ellisluk rule of thumb is if you need to call for pricing then it's not a budget solution. That pricing looks to be a few hundred times more expensive than CrashPlan.

Do an online backup with vzdump, no downtime at all.

My backup configuration:

@zed the CrashPlan+ plan is $3.69/month.

If the motherboard dies, restore from CrashPlan. ;) Synology has an app for CrashPlan (and multiple other options like Amazon's Glacier).

Oh, and I would recommend a Synology for syncing. ;) (Can't edit my previous post on mobile.)

Use CrashPlan for secondary or tertiary backups. I backup to my NAS, then to 2 different VPSs, then to CrashPlan so CrashPlan is my last line of backups in case everything else fails horribly. I also use CrashPlan Free to backup from all of our home computers to the same VPS that syncs with...

The custom address has been in testing for a while but it isn't 100% and a low priority. I'll work on getting it in one of the next updates.

Not much here either, but I get my $20/month worth.

I love my RTO server. I've had it for over 12 months but not changing pricing because I like having the free hardware replacement.
