Coming soon / general project update
We have been looking more closely at what we already have in place and what the project use looks like.
Big takeaways so far this is just my stream of consciousness spilling out on the keyboard really:
- No one wants a mail relay, but is exists so its not going anywhere.
- You can say no thank you to China all you want, China does not care.
- Vietnam is removed from the block list.
- We allow ordering from DC IP's, proxies and VPNs now, we just dont always give free credit (You get warned first during sign up if that's likely to happen)
- Alpine is WAY more popular in general than I thought, to the point I have started to love it myself.
- Coming up to 1500 live users, we are now considering if we want to add new locations, we are thinking NYC Metro area or boring but safe France/Poland/Netherlands
- No one really wants sql offloading
- HAProxy is proving VERY popular, we enabled http/2 (was missing)
- We are looking to implement the CDN elements, caching, etc at the HAProxy edges.
- Haproxy Global distribution for your domain is available now, so every edge will accept and route the traffic over your meshed subnet and hold your SSL for faster TTFP, the myth of having many IPs pointing to your domain also is available as standard here too, my jury is out on that one for SEO.
- Support requirements have been supprisingly minimal, so thats a good sign.
- We are looking to add traffic stats to the dashboard from the HAProxy servers for your hosted domains and may implement opt in honey pot and WAF features so we can start eating the shit before it hits your VPS.
- recipe market place is hit and miss, more people are using it than expected for their own scripted server and stack deployments but keeping them private, almost no one is making anything public, so we are considering seperating this out in to optional quick deployments directly into the VPS creation process to replace recipes and having your own automation section for your own stacks, say "Throw out 5 VPS in each location and run these scraipts/commands in this order on VPS 1,2,3 and these commands and scripts on vps 4 and 5.
- I am sad that almost no is playing with the ipxe/pxe options in the network/dhcp section, maybe that should just be free.
- Considering moving to BETA end of Feb, earlier than expected, but we have had fewer issues than expected.
- I need to do more work on the templates, we use the defaults for the most part from the official distros but they are more bloated than then need to be.
Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Why do we need a new thread ?

GLWS
Cause the other thread wasn't getting much attention. So start over
If you want information, feign ignorance reply with the wrong answer. Internet people will correct you ASAP!
It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!
I know you guys are kind of joking
but just for the avoidance of doubt.
Tierhive is a new product/project in active development, things change week to week based on feedback, I dont want to spam people, if people want to know they can find out here, the offers change, they are offers, like it or not LES is a place people advertise things commercially, to my knowledge it was never intended to be the ritirement home from TOGF
I literally cant believe some people actually have a problem with people posting hosting offers on a hosting forum that supports offers.
Secondly, and it is secondly, if you are a host, and you are not posting weekly, you are just hurting your business, backlinks and authority really count and LES has some clout in the hosting niche, even if you get no direct customers (We do) this helps.
It is what it is, its not going away, I did think about just starting a TierHive thread for updates and chat about it and keeping everything in there, but I am sure someone would have a problem with that too, cant win all the time with everyone, so I don't try too.
Personally i think the LES sidebar should be collapsible and used almost exclusively 80/20 for hosting offers, and leave the forum to be the forum, we have the technology; it would not be that hard to implement
offer posts are still posts they just dont shup up in the main list.

Still better then a certain host that posted exact same offer thread every 7 days as that's what the rule says you can do, even though nothing changed and there was zero interest in the Indian 69 dollar per month dedicated server...

I'm fine with weekly posts. Moreover, new project update itself deserves a separate post. It's interesting to know behind-the-scenes.
Speaking of the project update
I usually choose debian. However, for minimum spec machines, 128MB ram is under debian official hardware requirement. I don't want go through the hustle of going under spec so I chose alpine for those min spec machines. It just works.
OVH routes traffic through France for some network, so France can reduce latency even for audience outside of Europe. Therefore, it could be not that boring after all.
same, I managed to get alpine running under 20mb now on boot, its like a personal missing haha, I will push the changes that are viable or write a blog post on https://tierhive.com/blog (bit sparse right now)
The blog VPS runs on 128mb alpine on tierhive by the way
