(Quote) Oh... oh no. I mean it kinda looks like either NVMe or SATA SSDs (4k IOPS are too high for it to be HDDs) but why are the speeds so slow, and why are they slower for higher block sizes? Seems like Chicago is not a good location :(
-
(Quote) Do you actually notice this difference in day-to-day usage of your VPS though? Sure, the numbers differ, but there's very few use cases that will notice an extra 300µs in latency. The extra latency is likely due to a longer queue depth (that…
-
(Quote) It's definitely expensive compared to their sale prices, but it's a pretty decent price if you compare to other providers. ~4GB RAM, ~60-80GB space for ~$15-20 is a common price point for regular (non-sale) pricing. I was using BuyVM for cl…

(Quote) I think this is the case but I don't have a regular priced plan at the moment so I'm not sure. I'm thinking of getting one though. (Quote) Prices have to go up eventually - they can't remain the same forever. Hardware is more expensive due …

Can you please add a confirmation prompt when clicking "delete" on a tunnel? It's currently way too easy to accidentally delete one :smile:

This looks great!! Nice work. I'm going to sign up and see how well it works for my servers that don't support IPv6 (luckily there's no too many of them) (Quote) ?? I use Tunnelbroker on some servers and they're perfectly reachable from Comcast: …

(Quote) I tried it with HostHatch Amsterdam (which is theoretically on a 40Gbps connection as per https://docs.hosthatch.com/features/) but I "only" got 2.45Gbps with iperf3.

Does Vanilla not have this built-in? I thought it was a common feature in forum software these days. That and auto-locking old threads (which @KermEd suggested). Discourse has both of these features out-of-the-box but I think even some of the PHP fo…

(Quote) This is something people don't seem to understand... Time is money, and major projects with good developers don't come cheap! This isn't just a one-off "pay someone $200 on Fiverr" job, it's more like a months- or year-long project…

(Quote) Wow that's a lot of storage. Any recommendations on which hard drives to not buy, if you've had a lot of issues with one particular brand or model? (Quote) The interesting thing about this is that in November 2021 @hosthatch implied that su…

(Quote) During BF2021 they had a one-day flash sale with all of the BF2020 deals! I'm sure they'll have another flash sale again at some point. I originally thought the BF2021 deals weren't great and I think I even posted a comment about that here …

(Quote) ~3 billion people use Facebook per month so "the average Facebook user" is pretty broad 😛
-
(Quote) The old panel is based on SolusVM which as far as I know they want to get rid of, since it was holding them back. (Quote) I've got one of the BF2021 servers and actually really like it. It's noticeably faster than the BF2020 servers during …
-
(Quote) Hosthatch actually had $0.9/TB/month during one of their sales :tongue: I've got one of the $1/TB/month boxes (10TB for $240 / 2 years) and it's pretty decent. (Quote) The thing that confuses me is that Facebook actually has a "turn o…

You put the "spirit" in "lowendspirit" 🙏

(Quote) I don't think serving files over TLS is really a niche feature :tongue:

(Quote) Some rough notes for whoever ends up writing the Geekbench page (unfortunately I don't have time to right now): For Geekbench 5, their official docs are pretty good in terms of what goes into the score: http://support.primatelabs.com/kb/gee…
-
(Quote) Like with other providers, it's shared bandwidth, not dedicated, so it's not expected to be able to max it all the time.
-
(Quote) Depends on which VPS you get. VPS S is 200Mbps, VPS M is 400Mbps, VPS L is 600Mbps, and VPS XL is 1Gbps. They're pretty clear about it on the order page. (Image) 200 Mbps isn't ideal but it's still better than Kimsufi's 100Mbps :tongue:
-
It's still free today 🤔 Contabo's SSD VPSes tend to be pretty slow. I used one of their NVMe VPSes for a few months and it was pretty decent though.

WordPress with a full page caching plugin (eg. WP Super Cache) gives you most of the advantages of something DB-driven, plus many of the advantages of a static site. When a page is cached, it's served directly via the web server, without hitting any…

Mine is https://d.sb/ but the design is close to 15 years old now. It looked modern at the time, but it's definitely looking dated now. The projects page is very outdated.

(Quote) Google likely colo some servers in the same data center. In reality, you're really not going to notice the difference between 1ms and 21ms. The difference is only slightly longer than the time taken to render a single frame at 60fps (~16.66…

(Quote) I posted a YABS here: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/74102#Comment_74102 and a Monster Bench with Asia speed test results here: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/74108#Comment_74108 I'm getting rid of it, bu…

(Quote) The limits are far higher for HDDs, at least comparing non-enterprise HDDs to non-enterprise SSDs (keeping in mind this is a low-end forum where not everyone runs enterprise disks). HDDs tend to last longer than the specs suggest. I used to …

I use Borgbackup on all my servers. On my Windows PCs, all the important stuff is in either Seafile or Dropbox, or is just open-source on my GitHub, so I don't actually have any backup software on the Windows PC. I've been meaning to look into it. …

Black Friday flash sale: Hostodo $199/year dedicated server (Quote) # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## Yet-Another-Bench-Script ## v2021-10-09 ## https://github.c…

(Quote) I suspect IPv4 will eventually drive prices up year over year, if it's not already doing that. So I guess I mean the same-ish prices as now, if IPv4 ends up causing them to increase. It's also possible they have some free space on some serve…
-
(Quote) Thanks for commenting here! I definitely understand what you're talking about with regards to hardware prices. Do you think you'll ever offer IPv6-only plans? IPv4 addresses are getting more expensive and I'd be happy with an IPv6-only VPS …
-
They only had three coupons available for that price (this was a flash sale; their 'standard' Black Friday price for that system is $299/year), and I got one of them! I'm never that lucky, haha

(Quote) Thanks for the offer. I just impulse purchased a dedicated server from Hostodo for $199/year: (Quote)

(Quote) Right now I'm paying US$12/month (~£107/year) for 4 cores (Ryzen 5950x), 8 GB RAM and 500 GB NVMe with Wishosting, and my only problem with it is that it's in France and OVH's routing to me isn't the greatest. Was hoping to find something fo…
-
(Quote) Yes :) What would you be able to do?
-
(Quote) It works pretty well. I'm using the performance tracking features which I think is what's taking all the DB space. I'm using Docker via the instructions here: https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/ (Quote) I'm ideally looking for something…
-
(Quote) 200GB is too small unfortunately :( I've got a Prometheus instance with ~80GB data and a Sentry instance with ~100GB data, on two separate systems at the moment (one regular SSD, one NVMe SSD) and I want to move them onto a single VPS with r…
-
Has anyone seen any offers for 8+ GB RAM and 300+ GB SSD/NVMe? I've got that $12/m one from Wishosting that I posted a benchmark of elsewhere in this forum maybe a month ago, but it's in France, and ideally I'd like something on or near the US west …
-
(Quote) cloud. is their new one but AFAIK they haven't migrated existing VPSes over yet. Their older one is built on top of SolusVM whereas the new one is completely standalone. (Quote) Their offers are good, they're just not insane like last year.…

HDD would be best for this use case. I don't think an SSD (including an NVMe SSD) is appropriate for this task as flash memory degrades the more you write to it. If you want to use SSDs, check the TBW ("terabytes written") rating. This me…
