    RamNode Down?

    My thoughts are that the SolusVM bug is a major issue. It can be used to basicly remove all vms and do some other naughty things. As per what is ongoing on with RamNode, I really hope that is not the case. Cheers!

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Surprised someone else hasn't made a full post on this, however in an effort not to get it immediately picked up in search engines, I will mention it here. There is a new SolusVM   exploit out in the wild that effects all versions and allows a customer logged into SolusVM the ability to...

    KVM, LUKS, I/O

    1. You assume that most people know how to pull this directly from memory, most with out experience wouldn't even know where to begin. 2. If you as a host are dumping my vnc sessions, we have a whole other conversation we need to be having, mostly about your customer privacy 3. I wasn't aware...

    KVM vs Xen for the end-user

    KVM and XEN are forms of full virtualization which have access to their own kernel instead of sharing the kernel with the node. OpenVZ is not full virtualization, it is more of an over glorified jailed environment that has the ability to limit your resource usage and give you root level access...

    Virtualized Desktop

    I believe he meant for graphical applications. As I understood from your first post this sounded like something you wanted to run locally, if this is the case the actual console provided by VirtualBox provides you pretty good graphical response as opposed to using remote tools to access the...

    VPS offers - quarterly and semi annual

    Unless it is a provider that I have had more than a years experience with, I prefer to pay monthly or quarterly.  Usually the quarterly ones are for really low end services (64mb/128mb) where the quarterly payment is still under 10$.  One of these I believe is the small instance I have with...

    Virtualized Desktop

    @,  When using VitualBox and its RDP module that is built in, you can actually specify your screen resolution using one of the tools with VirtualBox and I believe rdesktop (I would have to look at the options for it again) and I know mstsc has the ability to stretch the desktop across both...

    Virtualized Desktop

      Now I see here you have been specific to these three types of virtualization, however, in some instances like this, you may find that Oracles VirtualBox will work a lot better for what you are wanting.  You can either switch on one screen to a full screened virtual server directly (using the...

    How do you feel ? 7 Limit gone

    First, let me flash back some years and explain how we have reached this industry with VPS/VDS/Cloud services and what this industry was before virtualized services.  Before everyone started using virtualized services, most people were required either to spend a nice chunk of change on their own...

    Is there a GUI tool to copy data between servers?

    Setup an ftpd that supports fxp (most default ftp setups disable this, you will need to read man pages for chosen ftp daemon for enabling it) on both servers and use FXP to transfer files from one server to the other using an ftp client that support fxp (FlashFXP for windows, probably many...

    Host Mist LLC | OpenVZ | KVM | US | DE | From $2.95 / mo!

    @Coastercraze, Somethings up with your KVM prices all together.  The prices in this advert do not line up with what is on your webpage.  Can I get a Snow package for $3.99 instead of the $7.95 listed on your site?  Please fix as it is very misleading. Cheers!

    Double Expansion: ChicagoVPS Expands VPS Hosting Services to TWO New Areas

    I just want to know why this post could not be included in your offer?  The only reason I can come up with is he wanted to spam the forum with offers to call more attention to Colocrossing and CVPS (regardless of these new 'realized' locations).  I like how you pretend to get all butthurt when...

    How do you feel about the NSA spying?

    The sad part is everyone is acting like this is a new thing.  It has been going on for a long time now, just it wasn't brought to light (Think: just like the LEB/LET Scandal) So, does it suck? Yep.  Do I see it changing anytime soon? Nope.  Do I think its right what they are doing? Nope, they...

    Sleeping hours

    The most important thing for you body is REM sleep.  To successfully complete one REM cycle it takes the body about 4.5 hours.  If you are good at making it into REM sleep quickly from once you have laid down, you can go with as little as 4.5 hours and still feel rested.  For me I sleep an...
