Sad to read what you have written. But it is full of truth. As someone who grew up with newsgroups, personal websites and the beautiful idea of an open decentralized internet (and a certain level of enthusiasm towards IT and bicycles), I see so much…

Regarding the location quest: CH would be a nice surprise and especially unique selling point, while NL.. well, everyone has NL.

As mentioned most servers in Paris and Amsterdam with Fair Usage traffic are resold from Online.net. Depending on the actual destination, their network connectivity can be usable (or not). However you may also find offers in Amsterdam with a certain…

As already mentioned One Provider is just a reseller of various well-known providers while the actual provider behind each offer is not always obvious to see. If in doubt you can open a ticket and ask before buying. The OVH boxes like Kimsufi are o…

If you are looking for a hosted mail provider, you could pick a shared hosting package for example from Netcup.eu (from 2 EUR/month, some deals on Easter, Black Friday etc.) or if it fits your budget Improv.mx (10 EUR/month, 90 EUR/year) is based in…

(Quote) I do have that throttling down to 300 Mbps when exceeding 10 TB on my 3 years old server contract. However they do now advertise on servdiscount.com: "NEU: Keine Drosselung. Nur für kurze Zeit. Alle dedicated Server mit unmetered 1.000…

myLoc Dusseldorf could be a decent option. They do have a direct peering with DTAG (according to their website currently 330 Gbps). Host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev1. AS??? 169.254.X.X …

To throw in some more names of well-known and long established companies: OVH (FR) and UltraVPS.eu (DE).

(Quote) I will express my deepest apology for this when visiting Douglas' grave next time, but in this particular case the only plausible answer seems to be: 0 (Quote) No.

You can also avoid all the HTTP 'overhead' by using a simple DNS query to achieve the same: alias myip4="dig @208.67.220.220 @208.67.222.222 myip.opendns.com A +short"alias myip6="dig @2620:119:35::35 @2620:119:53::53 …

I'd strongly encourage to overthink such a lifetime project to manually dump every single PTR record.

(Quote) Probably just a phrase like 'this VPS is searching for a new $HOME'. ;)

Is ~150 Mbps throughput from Sandelfjord to myLoc Dusseldorf via direct IX in AMS to be expected, or are there currently any known congestions towards AMS which should be improved in the future? A similiar iperf from Terrahost AMS instead of Terraho…

(Quote) Of course I can also offer it as a paid service as well, but I see your point. If you want to and I can contribute in some other way, I can test the VM to check if a 3rd party person having no clue about the application and service itself i…

If you want to I can offer as some kind of gift to our community to distribute the file for free over some of my existing and highly idling servers, for example unmetered SYS Frankfurt @250 Mbps or myLoc Dusseldorf @300 Mbps. You could upload via SF…

Don't know how this whole OVHcloud rebranding worked, but for SYS I did not receive any official mail regarding the price increase, yet. I had a really nice and easy to remember failover subnet on my SYS which was handy for recursive dns servi…

I keep trying not to do so as I am aware of the reasons and most of my locations are selected long-term and for a reason (which never is the price alone). But in certain cases it is hard to resist moving services, for example when myLoc (Dusseldorf,…

(Quote) I don't think Hetzner SB is an option here. Even the most expensive servers don't have Dual CPU and I doubt you can add a second CPU socket. Worldstream does have some Dual CPU servers in NL and AFAIK they do BYOIP but requested c…

(Quote) There's no netcup in Frankfurt.

(Quote) This only applies if your actual data traffic within the tunnel is also non-TCP. Which is rather unusual because most applications use TCP. The outer tunnel should never add an additional TCP encapsulation. This would result in two TCP flow…

(Quote) I forgot about that indeed there are still countries on the European continent excluded from SEPA. With Wise you can also send EUR to EUR by paying with debit or credit card at a reasonable fee (~1%). According to their website it's al…
-
(Quote) SEPA payments are free If you have an EU bank account. Otherwise you may use Wise for international SEPA payments which only costs ~1% fees ($100 to €) and is probably cheaper than any credit card processing.

(Quote) He is certainly not one who does not change passwords sent via mail. ;) Most likely after verifying ssh host keys during sporting activities. ;)

Unfortunatelly IPv6 connectivity between Hosthatch and M247 seems to screw up from time to time. When I once had a VM in UK I had a similar issue which took weeks to get fixed and on the OGF other reports where shared. Basically these are good boxe…

(Quote) And which of these offers is in the US? :) (Quote) I think you missed to filter for US locations. ;) https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=FXP-3EH-M0Y Then offers start at $29 (+50%).

Over the past months there were several great improvements on their Frankfurt network (fixed some nasty router issues, moved to another DC, ..). A SmokePing from a dedicated server in their FRA location to Hetzner NBG looks pretty good over the las…

(Quote) April wasn't a bad month, either. :) (ping'ing Google from a KTS24.com server) (Image)

(Quote) There you probably have .htaccess or the like. As a last resort blocking IPs by quickly checking and aborting in a very early stage of a base (index.php) or included (config.inc.php) PHP file before the actual processing takes place could b…

Maybe now also the L2 connection / tunnel is gone through which recently all traffic was backhauled from Oradea datacenter to Bucharest where it was connected to Telia and M247 replacing the former onsite uplinks with UPC and GTS. Who knows whether…

(Quote) So after ~15 days (365 hours) of downtime per year you can now even earn money with your VPS. :D

+1 for simple text files - and an allmighty vim. :) Little to no dependencies and everyday I learn more about vim, I am surprised how efficient editing text files can be. Copy&Pasting, folding with custom markers, working with multiple files i…

(Quote) Of course ZFS does not require ECC memory, but it is highly recommended as ZFS heavily makes use of memory. If some data in your RAM becomes corrupted and ZFS writes it to your mirrored drives, this most likely won't end well. BTW you …

I see your point that you are searching for something outside Hetzner's world. But do you have any particular reason why it must be located in Frankfurt? In case Düsseldorf would be fine as well (which usually is just about 4 ms from Frankfurt…
-
(Quote) Okay, I see your point. Usually within the EU, if you can provide a valid VAT ID, you won't be invoiced VAT at all. So you do not have to pay VAT and hence you cannot deduct any VAT later (because you haven't paid it). The unusual…

(Quote) Talking about money, taxes and financial terms is already difficult enough in my native language; doesn't make it easier in English. :D But I was actually referring to an individual paying 10€ for something from Contabo whereas a busin…
