(Quote) This image is true, but even if we forgive it for being entirely content-focused, it excludes at least one of service that is more popular than most of them, TikTok. China's top content-based services, generally, are even less likely to sup…

I've used crowncloud for awhile. I've not used support much, but when dedipath went bye-bye, a host rare problem arose, or an old plan was queued up for cancellation they have been very customer-focused and responsive. Their overall system reliabil…

(Quote) An important component is the hardware clock. With a VM you may be at the mercy of the provider's ability to not only get this right, but to ensure the host OS doesn't steal clock cycles, even unintentionally. Slight imperfections may be t…

(Quote) As far as I know, correct. LET is so awful lately I have started to avoid supporting it with any content lest anyone think I'm a fan of what is going on over there. Was hoping posting it here it reached enough people that cared about it.

(Quote) There was this: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/115615/us-eu-ddos-protection-4gb-ssd-vps-13-q-1gb-ssd-19-99-y-storage-plans-and-more/

(Quote) I may be in the minority but I never reply-in-thread and almost always will just ignore those offers. I also can't help but think a little less of providers who do this. The better providers in my experience practically never do this, whi…

(Quote) Refugee? Seriously. Good luck getting that deal again. It was fun while it lasted, but you have to cut your loses. You can't get offers like that and expect pity from other providers when it doesn't work out. Chalk it up as a 1/2 or 3/4…

(Quote) Heh , no thanks, my last virmach node was finally cancelled today. I was just curious if that was from before times.
-
(Quote) I had a $15/year, 1.5GB RAM VM, with 3 addresses. Once the mass migrations started the extra addresses never worked or came back. Did your secondary address migrate and work after the summer of 2022?
-
(Quote) The NYCB027 outage this year was longer.
-
(Quote) Good for them for gracefully removing a service. I hope a few other providers eventually follow suit and move away from OpenVZ and migrate customers to KVM (cough RamNode cough EthernetServers cough).
-
(Quote) I suspect my BF stuff will be cancelled by then and no, not worth to continue renewing and calculating whatever extensions may be reasonable. It was a fun ride while it lasted.
-
(Quote) That would be lovely, but I am not optimistic an accurate accounting can even be made. If the provider makes an attempt, great, thanks, but I don't think people should get too bent out of shape if it's not perfect, at least for the BF deals.
-
(Quote) I'd be surprised if all the downtime is going to be accounted for and frankly I think that is fine. I considered trying to estimate what all the outage time might amount to over the the past year and half, but it is just too much work for t…

(Quote) I don't think there was any magic Just built form an old minimal debian7 template as I recall. Probably no providers offer that anymore, but you might be able to get it going with an old iso image you load yourself somewhere. Try looking …

(Quote) That's enough for two VMs uname -rv; cat /etc/debian_version ; head -1 /proc/meminfo 3.2.0-6-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.102-17.11MemTotal: 59388 kB but I wouldn't recommend it.
-
Would be easier to say how the bottom five are, but I wouldn't provide it. Instead I'll give you six not already mentioned that might be worth considering, each for different reasons, but all are generally viewed relatively positively by most I'd g…

(Quote) Now is a good time to better explain this cryptic message from June. I have, though not for much longer,a 2019 BF VM from Virmach that was originally in the Buffalo location. After the migration away from ColoCrossing, this like all VirMa…
-
(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…
