I used to see more Xen servers in the past but I have not seen any Xen offers in a while. Why is this? Has KVM taken over? I'm looking for a new VPS for some testing and I want to make it a Xen one because I already have a lot of OpenVZ and KVM VPSes.

I hope this doesn't impact PayPal... doesn't ebay own PayPal? :( I changed my password.

Thanks everyone. This would be more for learning than anything. I can have the server in my home and get it ready before I ship it and it won't be super powerful or anything that'd I would want to rent.

I've been looking for used servers on eBay for a personal, non-commercial project though have some questions about choosing a colo provider... Is there a good tool or resource to calculate potential power usage? I am not for sure what the power usage for a server would be. Do datacenters let...

Thanks everyone! Ideally I want to keep the cost less than $700, which I think is well doable. That is more than I originally wanted to spend but I think now I want to build something pretty great to be good enough for the next 5+ years. Thanks for the suggestions I will look into those!

I built my old computer about 6 years ago from a TigerDirect barebones kit that came with all the parts needed for the build. It was okay at the time but now I kind of want to build something better, trouble is I don't keep up with hardware anymore and don't know what would be good. Can you...

What is your disk speed like? I dont need fast disks, not my goal but curious what impact the encryption has on this. I have never compared the two so am curious. :)

Do we have the right to be forgotten though? A part of me things anyone should be able to appeal something that appears in a result from Google and another part of me thinks it would be abused and should not be allowed. I don't want to search for someone or something and only find 'good' things...

I guess I have some things to think about. I wanted to do full disk encryption more for learning than for a real need for the extra security, though extra security is never a bad idea I guess. What then would be the best way to secure your VNC connection so that if you have to reboot and...

Another week, another cloud provider launch. DigitalOcean, Vultr, Wabble, Mothership1. What next?

Does anyone have any recommendations for setting up a VPS (KVM virtualization) that has full disk encrpytion? I remember in the past I ordered a test KVM VPS and tried to set it up but it kept failing. It was a test VPS and I didn't renew it as I forgot or got busy. Now would like to try again...

While going for a run last night I was wondering if there was a keystroke logger that measures how many characters or words you type a day. Kind of like those pedometers people wear around the office to track how far they walk each day. I'm not for sure how to search for this because I do not...

I've got a cPanel VPS but don't have a SSL installed (I think it has a self-signed certificate.... but that still gives warnings and unsure if that secures anything). Do I or should I have a regular SSL installed for the VPS hostname so that things like webmail and logging into the VPS is...

Yes it is OpenVZ. So there is nothing I can do then to make it show my timezone instead of my hosting provider's timezone where the server is located? It isn't a big deal as it's only an hour difference.

Limited with a usage cap for sure. I don't need a lot of BW and want to make sure it's there for me when I need it and not slow from having it oversold to many unmetered customers.

In WHM I went to Home »Server Configuration »Server Time and set my timezone but it still shows the time wrong... I then went to "Sync time with time server" and the time shows properly, but when going back to the Server Time page it sill shows the time off by about 10 hours. How do I fix this?

How is their ddos protection they offer? Has anyone been hit with an attack? Do they provide you charts/graphs to show how big it is or how does that work?

Hi! I am considering an OVH dedicated server in Canada but have seen little reviews for Canada. How is the hardware quality and network?  Support? Does anyone on this forum have a service there?
