(Quote) I put in an hour figuring out the Oracle DNS API and integrating Hetrix. Not fun, but better than I thought it would be. Price-wise it is thus a flat $4/M for "traffic director" (i.e. GeoDNS) queries. This might be a short-term …
-
(Quote) Thanks for the link! Good to see more providers with competitive offerings, and nice list of POPs. Probably I need sub-country for US (60% of my traffic is US and I have POPs in West/Central/East, so not necessarily state but at least reg…

(Quote) For on-demand video, may not even need geolocation. I guess my point was that when most people start out with web hosting they just put everything on one web server including large static downloads (software, video, etc.) and that could get…
-
(Quote) Yeah, "anycast DNS" refers to the property of the DNS server itself, where a single IP takes you to the nearest DNS server to improve latency. If I've got users in Australia then going to the wrong DNS can add 300 ms to the lookup…
-
Another option I forgot is Oracle. Their "cloud DNS" has no per-domain charge, $4/M for "traffic director" queries (so 0.7M = $2.80) and their 30 sec health checks are a comparatively reasonable $0.30/month. So 2.80 + 6x0.30 = …

(Quote) Thanks! I have sent you a message. Yearly payment would be fine for a lowend plan. How does it work with your system if one of my VPSes goes down - do you have any sort of public docs or setup guide?
-
(Quote) You do NOT need a traffic policy to get GeoDNS working with Route 53. Traffic policy is designed for more complex routing rules. Example: if you want GeoDNS that returns multiple values (rather than the nearest IP) then you start to need t…
-
(Quote) That is how anycast works. The issue is the granularity. I'm happy to be corrected if wrong, but the way BuyVM implements it is on a datacenter granularity. In other words, if the whole BuyVM location goes down, then anycast works as you …
-
(Quote) You might be right that nothing else is competitive! Good to ask though. Especially for the anycast-as-a-service option, I am not sure if I missed other providers. For anycast, if someone did a lowend annual plan (e.g. 200GB for the year)…

(Quote) For Constellix, GTD is their "global traffic director" which is a more advanced thing including RUM - not the same as GeoDNS. The basic pricing is $5 for a domain + $0.06 for each filter rule + $0.60/M geoproximity queries + any h…
-
(Quote) I don't/won't use Cloudflre. Anyway, NS1 billing is for an average of 0.7M per month, so the assessment is already done. This means I get charged overage by NS1 ($8/M), but NS1 is still quite OK price-wise. But the issue is not query volu…

(Quote) Get apk-tools-static, mount spare partiton (e.g. swap), run apk.static to install alpine-base onto it, reboot to partition, reformat old partition and repeat process. Never had it fail yet. although Joyent images can be challenging.
-
(Quote) No time in the near future, so others please take it!
-
(Quote) I think you are more advanced than me because I am not sure what alpine.virt does. I do everything inside a lowend KVM VPS and hot convert it to Alpine.
-
(Quote) No. I mean yes. I mean correct. A custom port is going to be found by port scanners eventually. I used f2b for years but in the end discontinued it for a few reasons. First, it is a bit of a memory hog on a super low-end VPS. Second, i…
-
Reduce OS attack surface, e.g. install Alpine. Close all ports with iptables, open only to IPs whitelisted in "KNOWN-IP" chain (automatically updated). At-rest partition encryption with dynamic key fetch on boot. Run inter-VPS traffic t…

Thanks mikho for the offer. It was nice for you to do it.

(Quote) My girlfriend tried this when she got out the whips and black leather. "Come here, secondary" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
-
(Quote) Ah beat me to it :)
-
(Quote) Because 1GB is not little?
-
(Quote) Hosthatch is OK for storage, but I/O is too slow for DB or realtime use (at least for me). But it has been rock solid. So reliable I don't want to give it up. I'm using it as a front-end and only using 1% of the storage, which is a bit sad.
-
(Quote) To begin with they limited it to 100 MB/sec, then after some drama increased it to 500 MB/sec. Plus some bad memory in the cluster, a power failure, and I put them on my watchlist to cancel after the first 6 months. However, things really …
-
(Quote) I have a DB at Letbox. Has worked good for 1+ years after some issues in the first months. I/O is better than most non-NVMe providers. For the OP, they do the split offer with 20 GB NVMe + block storage.

-
(Quote) Pretty sure they did, my VPS had the downtime for the move as planned, traceroute now shows synlinq.de. I've been happy with mine and would happily take the transfer if I needed it.
-
(Quote) Yeah, agreed. I'm currently in the market for something with less than half those specs (1 vCPU, 512MB+, 50GB+ NVMe only, don't need high port speed or much BW) for a DB cluster (so need the I/O) and am aiming for the $20-30/yr range. I th…

I just signed up for another Inception server a few days ago, but appreciate the offer.

vServer.site 1.50€/mo, VirMach $1.50/mo, Scaleway 2€/mo.

(Quote) Just to note, the OP said KVM and this is VMWare.
-
(Quote) MP4 divides content into "boxes" and the box ordering is somewhat arbitrary. Unfortunately this means that when a MP4 file is being produced, an encoder typically writes some high-level information at the end of the file (after it…
-
(Quote) That's a good point about length. So to figure the right setup, considerations include length of video, resolution you are capturing it at, whether it is live or on-demand, what devices you want/need to support, storage availability/cost, a…
-
A raw MP4 file does not involve any bitrate adaptation (just byte range fetching from one encoded file). The answer will be DASH or HLS. For higher resolutions (where there is actually a benefit from adaptation) YouTube is typically using DASH and …
-
(Quote) Without opening up a can of worms, WordPress is more of a security risk than a plain static site. Given the damage that a hacked NS could do, I'm inclined to leave it away from such sites unless I put them in a chroot jail or container or w…
-
My setup for personal domains is similar, but I diversify the providers a bit more and am confident enough not to use a HE slave. After all, the most likely screw-up is on the master zone files and that gets pushed to all slaves including HE anyway…
-
Thanks for the confirmations. I'm looking at it for a DB slave, don't really care about torrents myself.
-
Location is presumably NL? "HD" means HDD (as opposed to SSD)? Just to confirm.

Nexus Bytes' favicon.ico looks like a steaming turd with sprinkles. Just sayin'
