(Quote) For vps I figured it would just use libvirt. For shared hosting you're saying provisioning is handled by the control panel, and the panels provide apis for that? Ok, call the api. Doesn't seem that big a deal. I'd be more concerned by ha…

(Quote) If you mean it should perform the functions of cpanel etc., that's completely separate from billing. There is VestaCP and so on, nowhere near as powerful as cpanel but better than nothing. Yes obviously any billing system has to notify abo…

No idea if anything good is here: https://sourceforge.net/directory/business-enterprise/financial/billing/os%3Alinux/ It specifically mentions this for hosting: https://sourceforge.net/projects/solidstate/ This also finds a lot: https://github.co…

Well what do you want in a server? That one has lots of cpu, lots of ssd, and lots of ram. Do you want to pay for all that? Do you want something even more powerful, that will cost more? As always it's about your requirements. I like lots of ch…

(Quote) I'd look on drupal.org or the ruby gem repo and see what is there. I know they have stuff like that but I haven't looked into specific packages. Truthfully I've never felt the need for one: several places where I worked implemented their o…

How many times are people willing to repeat the same mistakes? I'd go for something FLOSS come hell or high water. In the case of billing, there's not all that much any one site needs in terms of features, so there's lots of options existing or DI…

That's an auction server right? Doesn't seem so great to me, unless you need the nvme disk. Not so much ram, not so much cpu, there are comparable auction servers with hdd's for just over half the price last I looked. And there are the AX servers…

Yeah I was going to say, you can fuse-mount a remote fs with one file that's an encrypted iso, then have local dmcrypt to a local mount point that lets you access individual files in the iso without having to download the whole thing. Also, even if…
-
How many different distros are you talking about? Like more than 10TB? More than 100TB? Or what? Would it be enough to have (say) a primary in Germany and a mirror in Romania? If a user has crappy peering to those places, maybe there could be a…

(Quote) I got someone to do a simple speed test on a pi4 some time back: time echo "scale = 2000; 4*a(1)" | bc -l That computes pi to 2000 decimal places. It took 3.9 sec on a pi4 vs 9.6s on my KS-2E which has an N2800 Atom cpu, same as…

This may have more cpu power than a ks-1, or at least be pretty close. Also has SSD, though smaller than the KS-1's HDD. I tried to buy an ikoula product a year or so ago but there was some quite invasive signup process that I noped out of. I don…

I used Tigervnc (tigervnc.org) for this a while back. Not the greatest but it did accept pastes through some nuisance that I don't remember. I'm sure there are other decent desktop vnc clients as well. No idea about web ones though.

(Quote) Is this in LOL territory? Everyone is doing that now.

Where is the US server?
-
Maybe a wiki? I use gitit, which has an apt package, so very simple installation. It uses git as backend so you can git push after things look good.
-
Thanks, makes sense. Is the price I mentioned realistic at all? I'd want say 2x 4tb drives, reasonable cpu (currently using quad core i7-3770, anything not too far off from that is fine), don't need huge ram or bandwidth. I do cringe a little bit…
-
I'd want a midrange dedicated server with fair amount of hdd space. Huge bandwidth not needed. Is 2x Hetzner auction price of equivalent hardware still dreaming, if dedis are available at all?
-
How much is renewal?
-
Fairness doesn't really come into this, and in the technology sector we expect costs of stuff to decrease rather than increase as technology advances. If you're thinking of cPanel, the answer is that it's a squeeze play and you should just stay awa…

I just got a .faith domain. Bwahahaha.
-
(Quote) You could check https://tld-list.com/ -- it says cheapest is $4.67 registration and 6.99 renewal at Regery, which I haven't heard of.
-
If you're using shared cpu instances then even with no throttling, performance will fluctuate because of other users also computing. Some people's EC2 orchestration involves automatically running a benchmark when they spin up a new server, and if i…
-
The 16 core shared is Epyc only. The Epyc cores are fast, but the VM's are slow because of the number of simultaneous users hosing the cpu. I.e. noisy neighbors.
-
I use shared hosting for a personal site, having figured that it would be more reliable than a VPS since someone else would be looking after monitoring, restarts, backups etc. But in fact it's down awfully frequently. I'm thinking about what to do…

Hah, I saw something about decreasing hourly rates (sounds good) but didn't figure out that they are increasing monthly rates. I should have guessed. If they do spot pricing of hourly bare metal, that will be quite interesting. I tried a Hetzner …
