I've been testing an iwStack cloud instance tonight for a friend. I am a fan of Prometeus and have had good experiences in the past there. Ran one of the freevps derivative scripts and found the network performance everywhere super slow.  This is a fresh empty container, so nothing competing...

Looking for various storage VPS options in New Jersey.   Choopa / Reliable preferred, but other options considered.   New York City metro or low latency thereto is fine.  So places like most of NJ, good bit of New England, Philadephia, etc. are suitable. Looking for 100GB of storage or larger...

So I have a pile of files and within those are various IPs (among all sorts of other data) Goal is to extract those IPs into a new single IP-only file from all the various files. Someone have a shell script magic to accomplish such a thing?

Anyone else here have / had a Dacentec RTO that reached 12 month maturity/payoff?  Does Dacentec auto adjust the monthly rate or do you have to do a dance with them? Know someone with one and has been over paying for past 2 months - at same RTO rate.  

So,  this morning some folks were unable to post.  The group of people should have been those who posted last overnight inside a time window.  No user group, just based on activity of those users --- all of them. IPB (forum software) was giving odd long times before they could post again --- an...

Good ole' Robert Clarke is at it again.  Making news this time as being the recipient of a massive DDoS attack. The attack, estimated at 100gbit was enough to make CNServers experience issues earlier this morning. GTT / Tinet was taking the attack squarely on the nose in Dallas...

My kick about beater Droid phone committed suicide the other day.  Purely for wifi use...  Leaving me contemplating moving over to a more modern Android tablet instead. Looking for recommendations for Android tablets that use 4.x OS, have bluetooth, have wifi (they all do I think) and comes...

Being a new year I've decided to put some idle server resources on my dedicated servers to some use, benefiting others. Decided to give TOR a try.   The config is blah.  Haven't had success in getting it up and running as an exit node (i.e not seeing in public database and not seeing any real...

Tinkering with OpenVPN today for a friend.   Prior attempts in the past have been blah, too much hassle and never quite right. So in this test run I am going with one the VPN providers out there.  They provided a zip with certificate and various OpenVPN files for locations. A simple start of...

Many folks still use the good old freevps script to pace new VPSs. Saw a more updated take off somewhere lately.   Someone have / know of such?

It has been a while since I was last roped into trying one of the abundant 2GB and larger VPS plans. Last go round (and I tried multiple providers over six month span) all failed.  Usually the provider would have a fit as I loaded a test dataset into MySQL and consumed disk IO + CPU. While...

Have the need for several VPN accounts. Emphasis on true and tried providers with good track record and established business.  Interest in privacy, lack of logging and multiple locations with a big enough IP pool. Anyone recommend companies that qualify that you have used / are using?

Want to create a little area / thread here for VPS providers who recently have stood out to customers. Is there a VPS company that went above and beyond? Helped you in a pinch? Provided services that work and work? Tell us about them.

So a few weeks back due to public insurrection on lowendtalk.com SolveDDoS.com Lowendbox offer was removed. Alex Vial who seems to be second in charge at ColoCrossing and has his name all over IP issuance said: A daily look at HE's portal for CC's IP...

It appears tail end of October that HostNun was another, ehh victim of WHMCS insecurity.  Prayer probably isn't going to make things better in this instance. 1:HN-Matt:[email protected]:0d12d19d25f7a455a7f91166d365ca 2:HN-Laura:[email protected]:12a4e0bb36c4b9ae82a28f09b7572d...

It's that time where you go offline, sit in traffic, sit in that airport and contemplate how 2014 will be a better year for you. It is new years resolution time. What are you considering as your new years resolution(s)?  How did the ones every prior year work out?

Flipperhost, a recent LEB offering company with three locations seems to be quick migrating customers here during the Christmas week. From one LEB post: A seeming Flipperhost rep responded: No word on which location is being impacted. Seems like the latest provider fad is forced migrations...

So, my buddies at ColoCrossing are getting noticed in academic circles for IPV4 hoarding and abuse. Assistant Professor, Vibhanshu Abhishek from Carnegie Mellon University in a paper titled "Context and Realities of the IPV4 Market: What Technology Leaders Need to Know" mentions ColoCrossing in...

My latest boo-ya-kah is looking around to see who is nesting virtualization within virtualization - aka SLABBING. We have more honest providers around here.  Who confesses to slabbing? What are the many legitimate uses of such and what are the unsavory reasons for slabbing (other than...

Looking to compile a list of companies / offers still out there for 96MB and smaller packages.   No cost limits, terms don't matter, just that I can order them today. What does everyone have to recommend? --------------------------------------------------------------- Current Offers: 0-31MB...
