Make sure you don't yell at them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4

GreenCloudVPS - BudgetKVMSJC-3, San Jose California, 8GB RAM, 60GB SSD RAID-10, 4 cores, $45/year (~$3.75/month). Their support is amazing for the price - all my tickets have received replies in <5 minutes. # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## Yet-Another-Bench-Script ## v2022-06-11 ##…

I ended up signing up for a VPS with GreenCloudVPS, since they have good reviews on here and OGF, and their live + ticket support are both very responsive. I'm a bit worried about the CPU usage quotas in the Terms of Service but I guess we'll see how that goes. It's a preorder so I don't actually have the VPS yet. I'll…

Does anyone here have opinions on GreenCloudVPS, good or bad? They have some "budget servers" available for preorder, in my budget.

I used to use BuyVM - in fact I was a customer for 9 years from way back when they had servers in San Jose with ColoCrossing - but they're outside my price range this time. I also ended up hitting issues with high iowait and slower network performance in the last few months I was with them. Over the years I also…

I ended up getting my VM up and running again. This was an NVMe VM rather than a storage VM though. It took a while. What I ended up doing was restoring the 10 GiB backup to a different HostHatch 10 GiB VM (or I guess I could have restored it to a local VM). It took around 30 mins: because the other VM was in Amsterdam,…

They still use Bing. Pretty much every search engine that isn't Google uses Bing in some way, as Bing is the largest search engine that has an official public search API that other companies can use (whereas Google does not have one). Voice assistants like Alexa also also use Bing.
-
They're RISC processors instead of CISC, so the optimizations are very different. They probably have their own issues in other areas, they just haven't been found yet. This will change over time as prices change... I'd guess that the ARM servers won't go up in price as quickly as other servers, given the lower power…

3.5 hours later, it's still down :confused:

This should have really been mentioned in the email or the control panel. Customers wouldn't expect that a "reinstall" button would reduce the amount of disk space on the VPS. I reinstalled one of my VMs to see if it'd get rid of the 'legacy' tag and see if any new features pop up, and now I can't restore my disk backup…
-
I've got a bunch (I think around 15?) of HostHatch VPSes and the ones that haven't been migrated across for me yet are Milan, Amsterdam and Stockholm. Everything else is in the new panel now. I've got 4 in Los Angeles (3 legacy and one AMD EPYC), plus the bug (9 or 10?) location bundle and 3 "new location" bundles from…

Tell them that you're fixing it, then just open a support ticket and let the host do all the work :smile:

If your friend isn't tech-savvy and you don't want to manage things for them, I'd suggest moving to a managed WordPress host, where they handle updates and security for you. WPEngine is best but expensive, SiteGround is decent and fairly cheap, and there's a bunch of others. Then any issues become the provider's problem,…
-
Makes sense... Costs are going up all over the place these days. I expect most hosts to increase their prices at some point. They can't stay at the current prices forever given inflation and massive (far larger than inflation) increases in prices for some things like electricity.

DNSTools India node should be coming back soon :) Edit: should be back now. dnstools.ws can do reverse DNS using the DNS lookup option if you select PTR as the record type, but maybe I should make it clearer in the UI? It used to have a separate "Reverse DNS" option but I removed it to make room for the MTR feature.

RackNerd probably have mugs.

@antibomb Did you end up resolving this?
-
Exactly this. This drive sounds quite useful for anything that needs an immutable audit trail, such as for regulatory reasons.

TIL Heroku is owned by Salesforce

If all else fails, it's pretty easy to migrate back to WSL1. You just need to run wsl --set-version Ubuntu 1 (for example). However, note that Docker works best with WSL2. Why not just use Hyper-V though? In my experience it works better than VirtualBox.

HostHatch replied on OGF:
-
Not good :( I hope they can restore your new server for you. I always change the host name of old servers to something like "PLEASE_DELETE_THIS_ONE" to try and make it clearer for the support rep. Back in 2004-2006 I helped run a free webhost and Layered Technologies were supposed to replace a secondary HDD in a server,…
-
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 :(
-
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 is, more things hitting the disk at the same time). Some people obsess over…
-
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 close to 10 years, and paying $15/month for 1 dedicated core, 4GB RAM and 80GB disk.…
-
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. Prices have to go up eventually - they can't remain the same forever. Hardware is more expensive due to the shortages, electricity has gone up quite a bit in price, IPv4 addresses are hard to…

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) ?? I use Tunnelbroker on some servers and they're perfectly reachable from Comcast: 1 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms xxxx 2 12 ms 13 ms 11 ms xxxx 3 * 13 ms * xxxx 4 13 ms 11 ms 10 ms…

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 forums have these features as well.
