(Quote) At least 15 USD/hour, if you are clueful at all about the stuff you mentioned in your first post. Preferably higher. Where is @MikePT? He'd know more about this.
-
Based on the description in your first post I still think you are charging way too little. I look at that number and think "this person must be completely useless, or else they would charge more". That is the reality of all independent t…
-
(Quote) It is a matter of supply and demand. If you know what you are doing, you should charge a lot more than the US minimum.
-
What country are you in? Your asking rate is way way way too low, even for LES.
-
Is mxroute ok for this?
-
Not wordpress but I've been involved with a dual production stack with BGP failover. To upgrade software, you would take the secondary server offline, update, it, bring it back online, then unplug the primary so you'd fail over to the new code. If…

(Quote) A wise decision. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
-
(Quote) Shrug, in the low end world, if the seller does their best, that's about all we can hope for, even if they don't always succeed. There have been many deadpools here and there will be many more. Virmach is holding up ok as far as I can tell…
-
(Quote) Yeah that's called cascading failures. Lingering tech issues => high ticket load => slow ticket response => more whiny users and even more tickets, self-amplifying spiral. Users who have been around for a while have seen this befo…
-
I'm happy with Virmach. Their stuff basically works and is super cheap. With this new service they maybe got a little too ambitious and the bugs are not out of it yet, but they are putting in good effort to hold things together. That's the most I…
-
@vgood , these servers are a terrific value for personal and knockaround usage, but it will be a while (maybe forever) before they are really stable. With no dig intended at Virmach, if you are using them for "production", you are crazy. …
-
Afaict we are unlikely to see 72F3 at the low end. They are expensive and power hungry cpu's whose main purpose is to get the most value from expensive "enterprise" software that is licensed per core. They are a win if the added hardware…
-
Old thread but it's hard to beat Hetzner Storage box for hassle avoidance at affordable cost (about €2 per TiB/month = $2 per 1e12 bytes/month since that's how HDD capacity is stated). HDD's at home have IME been horribly unreliable, especially whe…
-
Yeah SJC2005 having trouble from here too. Older SJKVM2 is doing fine.
-
(Quote) It says special right in the name. Of course it is different. It is special, after all.
-
But it was so slow it was near unusable, right? Plus it required some kind of windows or phone app, iirc. Using it as general purpose storage was a big pain.
-
(Quote) A mistake in provisioning caused more than normal number of VMs deployed on a single node for this offer, resulting in performance difference. More likely you have some users hogging resources, e.g. mining. You need some kind of throttling…
-
It could be useful as a logging device if it had an erase feature that couldn't be activated through the normal computer port. I've sometimes wanted something like that for audit purposes.
-
Is SJC05 now considered stable? It is working fine for me but I haven't tried to really use it beyond playing around a little yet.
-
44 billion = too much. I'll pay 35 billion, that's the best I can do. I need to save money for more VPS.
-
Gotta wonder how many signed up with multiple accounts and got confused.
-
(Quote) I remember that alternate forum. It is very violent there, and Spock has a beard.
-
(Quote) It is actually pretty weird that there is no way to see the order ID again. Obviously they are retained on the back end, but it sounds like they are unreachable from the client. Maybe that is just a matter of fixing a template somewhere, s…
-
Client area backend now timing out when I try to access info for a server, "Operation Timed Out After 90001 Milliseconds With 0 Bytes Received".
-
(Quote) It depends. Did you tick the box that said no refunds for this product? If yes, then there are no refunds. (Quote) It was already explained, activation is slow if you post invoice numbers rather than order numbers. Your order will be act…
-
Yeah I had an incident like this too, did the migration, moved my data from an old HH VM and cancelled the old one, but it renewed anyway. I put in a ticket and response took several days, but they did fix the issue once they got to it. By low end…
-
My idle server is down! I'm losing millions!!!
-
Yeah (partly directed to the other person who was having SJC issues): I got the email about SJC server migration. My VM is upright now but it says it booted an hour ago, so I guess troubleshooting is still in progress. The VM is still blazing fast…
-
If it has not booted at all, connect through the console and see if there is an error message. In my case, the install image was messed up so I used a different one.
-
(Quote) Whose fault do you think it was, if not yours?
-
(Quote) For this special, it is absolutely to be expected. It says manual activation at the very beginning. If you want RackNerd you know where it is. Hetzner cpu performance in their shared core cloud product varies and the larger VM's tend to n…
-
(Quote) Well that would up to @Mason I guess. I'd say that at worst we got a bunch of new members signed up who aren't that interested in becoming steady forum participants. That ties up a few database rows but is basically harmless, so no big dea…
-
It is weird, I remember seeing an upgrade button in the control panel somewhere, but then couldn't find it when I was also interested in upgrading. I take for granted that we don't get to ask for manual intervention as the process is intended (lol)…
