This is YABS from a "slowservers-2gb" (2GB memory, 1 vCPU, 64GB disk, routed /64, 1x IPv4) VPS running Debian 13 on Loki. Located in the Levy Building in Spokane, Washington (USA.) Hypervisor is OpenBSD's VMM. Hardware is used and designed…

(Quote) Yikes! Thank you for sharing. Some very sketchy stuff.

Looks good and well priced to me! (Quote) I don't want to derail this thread, but is there somewhere I can look to learn more about LET/LEB shadiness? I don't know of any issues, personally.

How bad is your downtime currently? How much downtime is acceptable? Do you know why it's going down? Shared hosting isn't necessary unreliable, but it can be. Is this a static site? Dynamic but readonly, or dynamic and writable?

I think it really defeats a lot of the purpose of crypto to use a major KYC payment provider like Paypal. Better to use your own nodes and have a gateway that you control. I know that's a lot more work, but Bitpay and the like has been a thorn in e…

Wow! This sounds like a huge pain. I wonder how they track state of which page to go to next? I think there would have to be a mesh or some kind of centralized system to know what to crawl. Would be interesting to see how that operates. These must…

Have you noticed any user agents in common or IP ranges in common?

Through SporeStack / SporeStack EU I have IPv6 only (/128) available. 2 vCPUs if you get the 4GB of memory plan. Mail ports might be blocked there, but I think I can unblock them. Through Slow Servers I have routed /64 VPSs (also IPv6-only). Only o…

That cap is really important if you are power-bound in your datacenter. There's also thermal considerations that some datacenters can only cool so much per rack. I went in a very different direction with Slow Servers and picked very low TDP process…

Having a master node that your slaves forward into is the easiest option, IMO. Just pass the /.well-known path via a proxy on your webserver. Only run certbot on your master.

Tierhive is impressively cheap -- I'm not sure what more of a "deal" you're looking for. In 9+ years in business with SporeStack, I've never offered a "deal." I completely understand why someone would want servers for cheaper, b…

I'm coming from a completely different perspective on all of this. I've only worked with homegrown systems and OpenStack Nova. WHCMS is quite foreign to me, and I've never used VirtFusion, Virtualizor, or SolusVM. I wrote my own provisioning stack…

Very nice! There are some shortcuts with deselecting sets. You can do -x*, for instance, to remove anything x related. Now there are some limitations like this. You certainly lose some security aspects of multiple partitions and kernel relinking w…

There's a few factors for me. One is cost. I explicitly preference smaller companies. I also run OpenBSD whenever possible, and ease of running OpenBSD is a factor. I have three external name servers that also provide monitoring services. ARPNetwo…

Your website and offering looks a lot better than many I've seen. Nice work!
-
That is quite something! Thank you for posting. I haven't encountered that yet, but I'll be on the lookout for it. AI is bringing us closer and closer to the point of being suspicious about everything, and to trust nothing. It used to just be Niger…

All of Slow Servers' hosts use DDR3. It's sufficient for many uses and certainly cheaper.

What exactly is a "Intel Special" (the $19/month one?)
-
I don't see Looking Glass for Port Edwards or San Angelo. I'm surprised that a half rack with 20A is $349 and a full rack with 20A is $699 in Port Edwards. Seems like a particularly good deal on that half rack!

(Quote) Hi Tom, Thank you! I like FreeBSD a lot. I took FreeBSD kernel internals from McKusick, himself! FreeBSD has some weird memory management issues with Firefox. It will tend to climb and and climb from one tab to another. It did that to me …

I went back and forth with this a lot with Slow Servers. I host on OpenBSD, so a lot of the decisions are based on that. OpenBSD doesn't support hotswap, at least on SATA. This certainly lowers the appeal of RAID 1. Also, RAID 1 with 4K sector dri…

My daily driver is OpenBSD. I was using FreeBSD for a number of years before that. I host VPSs under OpenBSD's VMM. Currently only offering OpenBSD 7.8 and Debian 13. I haven't tested FreeBSD or NetBSD yet to see how easy it would be to support th…

I am not sure why reverse proxy support isn't more common. I think it may be a combination of available technologies and timelines. SNI makes proxying a lot easier. IPv6 has been around for a long time but adoption was too slow for anyone to jump sh…
