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 with experienced developers and sysadmins. Happy birthday to Hosthatch!
-
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? The interesting thing about this is that in November 2021 @hosthatch implied that such a thing wouldn't happen 🤔

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 somewhere. However, after thinking about it for a while, I really did like the…

~3 billion people use Facebook per month so "the average Facebook user" is pretty broad 😛
-
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. I've got one of the BF2021 servers and actually really like it. It's noticeably faster than the BF2020 servers during normal use, both in CPU and in disk I/O.

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. The thing that confuses me is that Facebook actually has a "turn on notifications for this post" option that lets you get notifications whenever a new comment is…

You put the "spirit" in "lowendspirit" 🙏

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

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/geekbench/interpreting-geekbench-5-scores. They also have very detailed descriptions of…

Like with other providers, it's shared bandwidth, not dedicated, so it's not expected to be able to max it all the time.

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. 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 app code, as long as your Nginx/Apache/etc config is correct. On the other…

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.

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 (~16.6667ms). Generally humans don't notice anything less than ~40ms. Plus, any commonly…

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, but only because I got a dedicated server during Black Friday and I'm going to move…

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 have a Quantum Fireball 650MB IDE hard drive that still worked fine 20 years after…

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. I've used duplicity on Windows Server before and it worked well, but I…

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 servers, but no IPv4 addresses left to create new VPSes on it.
-
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 as long as it still has outbound IPv4 connectivity in some way, for example an…
-
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
-
Thanks for the offer. I just impulse purchased a dedicated server from Hostodo for $199/year:

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 for a similar price (maybe slightly cheaper) in the USA if I'm more flexible with the…
-
Yes :) What would you be able to do?
-
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/ I'm ideally looking for something in the USA :)
-
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 room to grow. Maybe I should move to HDD storage and deal with the slower seek/read…
-
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 coast (eg Los Angeles, San Jose, Fremont, Seattle, etc). Cloudcone's is the…
-
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. Their offers are good, they're just not insane like last year. They're building brand new servers with the latest AMD EPYC processors, so I don't blame…
-
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 measures the endurance of the drive - It's the amount of writes it's designed to handle…
-
Any plans to have similar services in the USA? I like the Black Friday pricing but I'd prefer something in the USA.
-
Cloudcone just posted some deals: https://hello.cloudcone.com/2021-black-friday-mega-sale-vps/ Starting at $8.79/year for 1GB RAM, 35GB disk (RAID10, SSD cached), 4TB monthly transfer, all the way to $79.40/year for 8GB RAM, 280GB disk, 8TB monthly transfer. They're based in Los Angeles. Hourly flash sales coming at some…

The issue with self-hosted is that I need to monitor all my VPSes, including the one that's hosting the monitoring app... Otherwise how would I determine that the monitoring system itself is down? Haha I used to use UptimeRobot's and HetrixTools' free accounts, but I've been manually migrating all the monitors across to…
-
I've been using Better Uptime for a while (since their last lifetime offer) and their service is really good. I'd recommend it! They've added newer features like DNS and SMTP monitoring, and they have "heartbeat" monitoring for cronjobs (add a curl at the end of your cronjob, and they'll alert you if a heartbeat is not…
-
iptables is legacy :tongue: we should migrate to nftables eventually! iptables will eventually be deleted, like ipchains before it.

I've got a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro in my PC and it's very fast, but the Samsung Evos are good too. A lot of newer motherboards come with a heatsink. I've got an "ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming" and it came with a heatsink for both m.2 sockets.

@chimichurri The Wishosting deal is back ($11.99/month for 4 Ryzen 5950x cores, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB NVMe): https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=7 Edit: Never mind, already out of stock :cry:

Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info.
