  • It does not matter what you do, you will never please everybody, so just support a few of the major distributions via templates and then let users upload their own isos if they want something else. Netboot as someone mentioned is a nice solution t…
  • (Quote) I've used this for years, served me well. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/proxy-switcher-and-manage/onnfghpihccifgojkpnnncpagjcdbjod?hl=en
  • Why would you run youtube over rdp? Would it not be more efficient to run the vps as a vpn server and connect trough that?
  • (Quote) That's almost impossible to say since they usually just disappear into the new owner. To mention one example Inception Hosting was acquired by Clouvider. Clouvider exists and seems to do well but it's hard to say how much of that is from Inc…
  • (Quote) I've had exactly the same kind of thoughts for years, but I guess it's kind of a catch 22 thing. If a lowend provider is stable, reliable, provide good value for money and still manages to make a profit, it kind of goes without saying that i…
  • (Quote) If you make the list on some sort of wiki or similar where people can edit, I promise I will contribute. I've been working with monitoring since Nagios was called Netsaint and ran on Novell Netware, so I do have some experience. :smile:
  • I really like the idea and appreciate the effort, but at the same time I think it will be extremely hard to get such a list even close to accurate. It's easy enough to list the more simple ones that basically do just a few standard checks, but when…
  • (Quote) Sounds like Seafile would suit you just fine. When it comes to just syncing files it's really good and it has clients for both PC and mobile. Community edition completely free and even Pro edition is free for up to 3 users I think. I used t…
  • (Quote) I'm not saying you are right (or wrong), but I can say that several of my bigger clients have recently asked me how difficult it is to move thousands of servers from AWS and Azure to "something more local".
  • (Quote) Well, take it as constructive criticism. If you don't know, ask someone who knows. The way things like this usually works is that people with the technical knowledge write the documentation, and the guy that builds the website publish it. I…
  • (Quote) As a user I want to know what the installer needs before running it. I'm not gonna execute something on my servers unless I know what it's going to do. Yes, I could go trough the code but I should not have to do that, the dependencies should…
  • I think it matters a lot what really happened. If a provider gets hacked but handles it in a professional manner, I would say there is very little damage done. Full disclosure, wipe the server and restore from backup, compensate complaining custome…
  • If a server gets hacked you wipe it clean and break out the backups. We are talking downtime at tops a few hours here, this should not have any major effect on your domains reputation as long as you handled it professionally. A lot of lowend hosts h…
  • (Quote) The website just mentions "PST, EML and other file formats" so I'm guessing it gives you at least a few choices. It also claims that "Versatile export functions allow emails to be restored from the archive at any time, meanin…
  • (Quote) Same here, I use MXRoute to deliver mail from most of my vps's. It's just so much easier to set up a relay once and then you know it just works.
  • (Quote) Our discussions have been at the OGF. Just realized that emgh may not be so active here, never even reflected on what forum I was actually on. :smile:
  • Even if it's not a democracy, my vote goes to @emgh or @Not_Oles @Not_Oles seems to be the kindest, most down to earth kind of guy you could imagine, I think he would do a great job of making people feel welcomed here. Me and @emgh does not always …
  • (Quote) I totally agree with this, obeying the mighty YABS has become a religion, and not a good one. 99% of my vps's have a load avg below 0.5 and the majority of them are probably damn close to zero. A better benchmark would do absolutely no diffe…
  • (Quote) This! Thank you! I can not understand how someone can see text they want to show on a text based forum and then their brain go "I need to take a picture of this text so that it will be much more difficult to put on the text based forum…
  • (Quote) Because monitoring uses outgoing traffic which is not a problem with a NAT'ed vps.
  • (Quote) Actually, monitoring is one of the things that NAT vps's are actually useful for, I personally have a bunch of NAT vps's that do monitoring from different parts of the world.
  • Just pick one, most of them will probably run it just fine. https://lowend-deals.xbit.win/#vps-2m
  • No offense and I know I probably come off as superficial here, but your website...holy shit. I could be very wrong here and it's probably just me, but I find it kind of hard to trust a company with a website that looks like some of the websites I c…
  • (Quote) 300 lines? I do it with 20 lines of sh, and it even supports multiple dnsrecords. That's saying a lot since I'm a really shitty programmer.
  • (Quote) That is only a matter of angle and enough speed.
  • I really do appreciate the honesty here. As you surely can tell by now this forum has kind of an aversion against "basement hosts", for historical reason. However, you have been completely transparent with your setup and you even provided…
  • (Quote) I just have to ask, why? Has anyone really asked for this? In my experience the only ones that prefer video are the ones creating them, the people that have to watch them usually hates it. To me this seems like a complete waste of time but I…
  • BuyVM is a legend in this business, hoping for many more years to come! My vote is definitely on ch, nl is totally saturated already.
  • (Quote) Where can I buy that mug?
  • Oh man, I can relate to this. Convinced myself that I should not buy anything this BF but ended up with 4 VPS, 1 storage, 2 mail services and 1 shared hosting. We should start Idlers Anonymous and hand out badges for not buying another vps for thre…
