(Quote) Oh that's right, St. Louis. Wholesale is in Kansas City. That address seems to be Datotel, another colo host: https://local.yahoo.com/info-84320134-datotel-st-louis (Quote) Amusingly they say they are using Optane to accelerate their SSD…

Heh, wonder if Wholesale Internet is involved. Thanks for the update.

(Quote) Oh that is interesting and I didn't realize it. It basically solves the issue I described. Thanks.

Ok, it looks like C14 Cold Storage and only transfer to and from Scaleway Object Storage, which costs 0.01eur/GB/m. It doesn't sound like one can get charged for a partial month. So if you have 1TB in cold storage, that's 2 eur/m which is pretty g…

(Quote) Contabo in the past had unsustainably low prices and badly overloaded servers. They attracted buyers who were after the cheap price tag and often ended up unsatisfied. There are various bad reviews of them in the LET archives. More recent…

Wait what, they have free transfer between C14 and object store now? That seems too good to be true. Lemme check into it. Added: it looks like they have drastically changed how C14 works. I guess it wasn't that attractive before. I used it for …
-
C14 doesn't have a bandwidth charge per se, they charge for transfer operations and C14 itself is semi-offline storage. Are you thinking of Scaleway's object storage product? It would surprise me if they gave free bandwidth for that, beyond the fr…

Yeah I'm pretty noise sensitive and that's why I usually want my servers in faraway data centers ;). If I were to get one at home I'd set it up like a super quiet HTPC or gaming rig even though I don't care at all about media or gaming. Thanks.

(Quote) Does that mean no case fan?! What about cpu fan? Other noise? I have a very old Supermicro 1U server that is has some coaxial 1U fans at crazy high rpm. It sounds like a plane taking off. Way too noisy to use at home.

Hey, thanks!

Yeah the thing you're remembering as a pi was the odroid xu-4 which was somewhat more powerful, though Hetzner's version was on the expensive side iirc. ARM not catching on was less a matter of goodwill than that they (so far) have never been that …
-
Thanks for doing this, and I'd be up for trying it in LA or LV if you're ok with that. Use case: try out directadmin to see how it compares with cpanel from user perspective. Resources required: close to zero. I already have ample hosting (some p…

Vcores but still very good. Thing is when I need more cpu than a typical decent vps gives, I want lots of cores and usually lots of disk space (like TB's). So I'm still happiest with a cheap dedi. It would be interesting to figure out some kind o…
-
How much space are you looking for?
-
That's an interesting idea with the tutorials. Ideally the tutorial would be about something that really uses the capabilities of the machine. I'll see if I can think of anything. I hope you are all staying safe there. The US is handling the vir…

5 year subscription? Lol.

Stay safe. I've done support from home but some stuff requires hands on the machines.

(Quote) I chopped the facebook beacon from this url and downloaded it. It now says: (Quote) http://www.amazingeducationalresources.com/ looks to me like spreadsheet contents and indicates that it's editable, but isn't for me, maybe due to my ubloc…

(Quote) Just buy for a month like anyone else does, and if you don't like it then don't renew. Lots of providers take paypal, bitcoin, checks, or whatever.

Oh ok, I misunderstood, sorry. Yeah I think the usual solution is cloudflare then.

Can someone change the title of this thread? It says web hosting but OP is asking for Minecraft hosting. Requirements are completely different and in particular, buyshared.net is web hosting only. Buyvm.net can host minecraft in principle but its…

What is the query load? If you can afford 1/2 second to scan the big text file on every plate lookup, maybe that's the simplest approach. Alternatively go for indexing all those suffix strings like described above. Chuck it all in an SQL table wi…
-
8x 61 million = 486 million and it doesn't have to be in ram, an index lookup on that many rows on ssd should be plenty fast enough. Even on hdd it should do much better than 0.5 sec per query. I mistakenly wrote 8 lookups before editing, so don't…
-
Oh hmm, I didn't catch that, thanks.

(Quote) You're going to throw a muticore dedi at this? Or at least something with multiple cores and enough cpu headroom to handle your query load? Better to do something sensible in the software. (Quote) If the token is EC1D58C44 you can separat…

Serveria banned on LET for running on expired WHMCS, lol: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/163347/new-2020-dedicated-server-prices-from-19-mo-fully-managed-100-confidential-in-riga-latvia
-
Oh, I thought you were talking about a website. If the players are near you for minecraft, then your server also has to be near you. Latency matters.
-
If this is for a web service, 0.5 sec per query is really too slow. We still haven't heard anything about the application though. Fulltext engines will be of no help with this since they search for tokens given prefixes. They won't look for subst…

100 daily visits and you're getting ddos'd? You are in Brazil? BuyVM offers ddos protection as an extra cost option for VPS. I don't know if it's available for shared hosting but I don't see why it shouldn't be. Other than that, you can filter t…

Icecast doesn't particularly need root, beyond the way web servers in general need root to listen on low port numbers. If you put it on a high port you can run without root. But, at least when I did it, it was challenging enough to set up that I'd…
-
As this is a self-hosting forum we'd be remiss in not mentioning icecast. I managed to set it up for a conference a while back and it was a bit of a hassle, but it worked once a few snags were sorted. I don't know if it's easier now. I guess I sh…
