(Quote) I've given up on that one. It was probably full of cheap BF specials and as such probably cheaper for the provider to return pennies if anything and cancel all those contracts rather than bother replacing them at this point.
-
(Quote) Most of the offers I've seen on LES that I'd be interested in are duplicated on LET or WHT. Yes, that means the LES unique offers have rarely been appealing to me. On the other hand, once or twice, when the same offer has been elsewhere an…

(Quote) I'm not spending a lot of time on this, but from one of the many systems I have that are unreachable, you're probably seeing this: BGP routing table entry for 185.221.23.0/24, version 125535711Paths: (3 available, best #2, table default) N…

(Quote) There are lots of alternatives, but I think you'll find find at least one these will have a track record of better than average combined value in pricing, reliability, consistency, and drama-free service in multiple locations and with IPv6 t…

Below is what I'd replace if anyone wants to PM me a match or similar offer that isn't already publicly available (I probably know about you if you've posted offers in the forum lately). Some notes: * Location is not very important. * Traffic / li…

NYCB027 has been unavailable for over 100 days. New record?
-
It might be time for the vendor to implement DHCP. I'm not entirely joking.
-
(Quote) I think I had the same issue. I noticed the gateway address ended in .0 so I changed it to .1, but didn't help. I reverted back. I had one other that worked OK on another system. I have three others that need to change, but no going to s…

(Quote) DreamIT Host may also be an option.
-
So what if I told you a year later, even though it was migrated to a new network, hardware and addressing, the VM on the old network was still running?
-
And they literally just came back the instant I posted that. Of course. Looks like they were dark for about 3 hours.
-
(Quote) Provider stability maybe. System stability however has to be a real concern for almost all customers now. Unfortunately things have changed quite a bit in the last year. In my quick check, I have experienced an average of 3 IPv4 address c…

(Quote) Can you name the provider? I'd guess they were blocking more, perhaps all of UDP too?
-
(Quote) You should be able to run an ntp daemon on your KVM to mitigate that no?
-
Another potential issue with any container-based virtualization, including LXC is that you are at the mercy of the host's clock. ntpd, chrony, OpenNTPD, etc. won't be able to help you, because the container shares a system hardware clock that it ca…
-
(Quote) I wouldn't say it is a limitation, but there may be some minor differences in the base OS that some apps may not be expecting. For example, you might only have /dev/tty, /dev/tty1, and /dev/tty2 devices in LXC and no more ttys than that. Sa…

NYCB048 may be having some problems now. Nothing on the server status page, but whatever happened started within the last two hours or so.
-
If you have a VM on TPAZ002 you might check to make sure it is started up. I had one that went mysteriously offline an hour or two ago, although it did came back as soon I started it up in the control panel. I didn't see any official reports about…
-
(Quote) That was me. In a nutshell, I suspect some of those who were reporting partial connectivity (e.g., through a VPN, but not from their home cable provider), were able to temporarily reach their systems, because their VPN provider accepted a /…
-
(Quote) All three are pretty similar in many ways and it will probably come down to minor preferences that are important to you. I like DO's provisioning and portal interface the best, but DO seems to have a slightly worse reputation for being too …
-
(Quote) And perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, the ticket I had open for an issue was silently closed, but a problem was addressed. Yay! Now all Virmach VMs I have are currently operational. If I can finish out the month with no more VM disruptio…
-
(Quote) I assume node != VM. (Quote) Indeed. Thanks for the reply.
-
(Quote) Lucky you. I don't think I've had all VMs working at once since about June of 2022. I'm very seriously considering making 2023 the last year as a Virmach customer.
-
(Quote) I have not found that page to reflect the reality of individual VMs being online whatsoever.
-
(Quote) Sure, but lots of providers, particularly many low-end providers, do not get their addresses directly from an RIR, but rather an upstream provider. When that upstream relationship changes, as it often does, the low end provider has to renum…
-
Thanks @yoursunny, @aqua, @alwyzon, and @Abdullah. We're still interested in /8 gaps so I'll take a look. So you are aware, we are increasingly more discerning when it comes to a service based on the /8 alone. The past year has exposed how fragile…
-
(Quote) I'm seeing yet another wave of IPv4 address changes. Perhaps related? I've never seen such instability in address assignments.
-
(Quote) It works, but you still need to do the contract renewal. And in my experience with a system from there, a power off+on every few weeks is required, because the system just seems to become unavailable regularly.
-
(Quote) Disappointing. I've stopped ordering anything new and am slowly reducing what remains. The BF/sales prices remain appealing, but I'm sorry to say I've found the unpredictability and inconsistency is just no longer tolerable for my uses. …
-
There are some free tier or time-limited free options (e.g., Oracle Cloud, year of credit with Google/Azure/AWS). There are already v6-only or NAT offers under $10 (US) / year. You may see some BF specials that include a public IPv4 addresses as t…
-
(Quote) This seems to have been fixed now.
-
Maybe it is just me, or maybe I missed some news, but it also may be, at the moment at least, it is impossible to "Cancel Service". I'm getting a "Oops! Something went wrong and we couldn't process your request." page in respons…

OneProvider has a Nagos location for $3/month with their OneCloud platform. 10GB SSD Storage,1 Core(s) 512MB Memory, 500GB @ 1Gbps.

I find there are very few active providers under ColoCrossing these days. A few options on where to find providers: * Look in the Offers category on this site or on other forums. * The LES registered providers list - starting to get out of date * …

(Quote) Thanks for thinking of me. I wasn't expecting any more responses to this thread. I've updated the list of /8's in the original post since there has been some changes since the thread start date.
