(Quote) Not sure how confident they are to raise prices given Magic Transit is around. I do know they are now passing the gateway fee to customers. A lot of people are seeing a $50 - $100/m spike or similar. Francisco

(Quote) Openstack is just a really big platform to deal with. There's only a couple billing options with at least 1 of them charging $3/month per physical core. There's a WHMCS module I think but you're dealing with the abortion that is modulegard…

(Quote) Bigger issue is that a lot of backbone providers don't have the capacity in places. HE is still 10gbit in a lot of markets with Cogent being similar. (Quote) In my case I'd be getting bit for 2 of the 3 products discussed in my post. Stil…

(Quote) So pretty pass through. We got our first bill, bloody hell. The positive is every host out there is now auditing looking for unused/badly cancelled licenses. I know one provider that cut literal thousands a month off his bill due to old l…

Currently watching "Formula 1: Drive to Survive". Pretty solid. Francisco

Whats pricing looking like? Francisco

(Quote) Yeah the DA guys have been very receptive to changes. I'd still love to see a whmapi1 type command line interface to make scripting easier. I think getting some sort of differential backups system in place (that or jetapps give more feedba…

(Quote) I mean, the funniest release they ever did was the long awaited support for...OpenVZ 7? Literally all but one thing in the change log was broken/reverted. The one thing that worked? Updating the footer copyright. Francisco

(Quote) Solus was supposed to get OnApp federation support but it never went anywhere. It was supposed to be that providers that had the capital would spin up OnApp and then sell spare capacity on the Federation Market Place and then the plebs (rea…

(Quote) I think that's exactly right. Try to eat off VMware's plate and maybe try to snag some of the people that want to try to compete in the enterprise cloud market. Thing is, I dont know of anyone besides vps.net and the group that got bought o…

(Quote) Won't do anything in his case. The ZVOL's will grow but never really shrink. You could try using VIRTIO-SCSI and see if ZFS will handle the unmap/TRIM requests, but you might need to use QCOW2 images instead. Still, it doesn't give him the…
-
(Quote) Well, OnApp was $5/m/core and then moved all new users to $10/m/core. Supposedly the new $12/m/core is retroactive as I said. Still, you have to be in the very high end of things to make that work. You can't plan your revenue when the box …

$35 on a 4gb slice and 4tb. Not quite matching the price but I'm not a fan of running a charity. Francisco
-
(Quote) It's just crazy expensive to hire a decent team. You can get teams out of the middle east but more often than not it's a shitshow code base and you don't even want to use it. It's probably a stereotype but I saw it first hand when I did dev…
-
(Quote) That's probably about right. Proxmox doesn't have an OpenVZ migration path that is safe. It does convert to LXC's but at least up until recently it was giving users full privileged containers. It's possible it's an easy adjustment in the co…
-
(Quote) 1) There's no easy way to handle storage. Users have to use either ZFS (which is fine but doesn't work for user quotas inside of the VM), or LVM (which doesn't easily shrink). There was talks about making XFS work for storage but who knows. …
-
(Quote) I don't know. When Solus goes this way I see Virtualizor following to some degree. I see no reason for them to piss away possible revenue by sticking to a low per node cost like they are now. Proxmox is OK but from what I've heard it needs…
-
(Quote) They've already said the price is going up but will be "lower than OnApp". OnApp used to be around $10/m/core but even a cost of $5/m/core would put out a lot of hosts. In your case you got some Ryzen box and suddenly you have $80/…
-
(Quote) I'm still waiting to see the price changes for Solus. OnApp just increased rates to $12/m/core wiht a 100 core minimum. That leaves a lot of room for Solus to come in at $6 - $8/m per physical core, still be way cheaper, but still get a se…
-
So wait. The people that had hostgator managing their servers, that got social engineered and a complete full database dump taken, is now doing hosted billing panels?? I would straight up not trust any host using such a setup just because of their…
-
So how does this change the market? Or has there not been many LE hosts getting blocks for selling? Francisco
-
(Quote) One of the big root exploits in SolusVM was done via the "Central Backups" system. For the longest time (maybe even now) their "fix" was just throwing an exit(); at the top of the file and counting the feature as unrelia…

(Quote) LXC really isn't designed for multi tenant usage. While they have unprivileged containers, its missing other key items that proper multi tenant systems need. Francisco
-
(Quote) Ehhhh I'd be scared of them installing an SQL server on each node or something. Virtualizor makes some very...unique choices. Francisco

It'd be nice if we could tab from the textarea for comments right to Post Comment. Right now it links to the Markdown wikipedia. This is controlled with the tabindex property. Francisco

OpenVZ 7's pretty OK. Its by no means my favorite setup, and I wish it supported Debian, but it's a lot better than 6 was. For the life of me I can't get live migrations to work with the new system though and I had to use the old vzmigrate w/ some…

I think 'Discussions' and 'Categories' should be flipped position wise. Francisco

(Quote) LU is 50/50. LU one range on each provider. You can ticket and I can give you whichever you want. In some cases I'll give people both (one extra IP at no additional cost) so they can try out and see what they prefer. NY & LV are purely …

(Quote) Thanks :) Yeah, we have been using Cloudflare's Magic Transit for 1 1/2 months at this point. It still needs a lot of work but they seem determined to meet the challenge. We still have our Voxility services active in the off chance we nee…
