Since we are on the topic, can someone explain the purpose of the "nameservers" boxes? I see them almost every time I sign up for a vps, but I have never been able to figure out what they do. It doesn't seem to matter what you put there, t…

I have a vps in Norway, and it's been having a lot of packetloss and timeouts lately. As I'm typing this it is unreachable from seven other locations, but reachable from two.

I've used http://www.gestioip.net/ a few times. It's not perfect, but in many cases sufficient.

(Quote) I don't blame you, at first glance Acronis can look like a bit of a mess, but its really just one product with different packaging/licensing. Once you get to know their AnyData Engine then you can use all of their products, the rest is just …

(Quote) Changing ssh port doesn't really make it secure, it just makes it harder to find. If you truly believed security by obscurity worked, you would change your ssh port and then have no passwords. Hopefully, you don't do that. Real security i…

(Quote) Probably the service provider licensing, they have lots of licensing options and integrates well with cpanel, whmcs and most others.

I use 5 of the mrvm ipv6-only with 256M as monitoring satellites and route reflectors. Works like a charm, they do their job so well I usually forget about them even existing.

(Quote) Certified ACE and ABE here, glad to hear Acronis works for you. :)

Security by obscurity doesn't really work, imho. But yeah, I guess an obscure enough subdomain would be equally difficult to guess as a password. You could even mitigate bruteforce attacks by blacklisting clients with to many 404 etc. But still, I w…

It all depends on the requirements. For personal stuff and VPS's it's a mix of tar, rsync and restic. Lately, I've moved more and more towards restic since I've found it to be easy, reliable and powerful. It's easy to script and automate and also f…

(Quote) True. I forgot idling, and "just collecting vps's". :smile:

If I had privacy concerns, I would not use Cloudflare either. Just imagine the amount of data they are able to collect if they want to.

(Quote) Nagios is extremely flexible, if you know how to use it. It is not a turn-key solution, and its not really good for metrics. Nagios is more of a "alert, this happened right now" solution. But properly configured and teamed with a t…

(Quote) Understandable. So whats the procedure, I just order a server and then open a ticket for os-reinstall?
-
(Quote) OK, sounds good. I was never given a choice of os when ordering the server, so I never finished the order. I'll try it again. Thanks :smile:

What os and version are the storage VPS's? I cant find any mention of it on the website.

(Quote) Oh, you will get there, eventually, when you have done enough mistakes to learn from them and seen enough young people that think the world revolve around them come and go.

(Quote) Can you really read this post and still claim that your attitude is not a problem? You simply refuse to take any of the advises we try to give you and instead go on a rant about why you are right and everyone else is wrong. Continuing to per…

I think the chance of someone taking you in after this thread is pretty slim. People are trying to help you, and you tell them to "stay away" because you do not like their answers. That kind of attitude is not what you want in a support wo…

(Quote) A simple redirect that removes the www. part usually takes care of all problems. The forum is at talk.lowendspirit.com so that should not be affected at all.

(Quote) But most of the backup storage I've seen has been simple ftp/sftp solutions. I could setup such a solution with any totally free linuxdist at zero software/licensing cost. I'm almost considering getting some storage just to see what it act…
-
The VPS storage is SSD. I would imagine SSD storage is more expensive then a RAID6. And maintaining the hardware that runs the VPS's is not free, I find it hard to see how maintaining a storageserver for backup would be more expensive. Basically, I…

(Quote) Care to elaborate on that? Do you mean that backup is a redundant service that most people choose not to use, or that the storage must have data redundancy and therefor is expensive?
