Ouwh... thanks! That's a very good point. I'll reach out to them, let's see if that can be changed. :) – Michael

Glad you like it; would be happy to welcome one of your projects in the Austrian location. – Michael

Yes, of course. In fact, preparations have been made (= a port is dedicated for it on the switch panel and router), but at the current traffic levels it doesn't make much sense to actually connect. Let's fill up these nodes and change that. ;) Renting space in the—rather pricy—InterXion without actually connecting to VIX…

Sorry :# Everything would have been prepared, but then I spotted some detail I'm not entirely happy with and needs a fix first. So, it's delayed til tomorrow.

Well, they still don't seem to want my offers due to their overly use of Cloudflare protection. I guess, I'll have to leave them out when posting some offers later today. Cloudflare—the way they have configured it—is really annoying as a provider; always falsely detects offers as spam, probably due to the amount of links…

What you’ve got there is a setup in which your VPS believes it’s in its own little subnet that consists of just itself. That works on IPv4 too, for example, the sample below works on Debian and in a fictional local 10.0/8 network. auto eth0iface eth0 inet static address 10.1.2.3/32 gateway 10.0.0.1 pointopoint 10.0.0.1…

In that case, these two tools together very likely require more system memory than there is available. Most software does not gently handle the case of not being able to reserve more memory whenever they want and so the software just crashes instead. Sounds a lot to me that this is the case here too.

Nope, the same Samsung SAS SSDs in RAID 10 as with the other nodes. But, given the low density of these new nodes, more I/O throughput will be left per VM.

Not to use root directly is a good protection against your own stupidity. Everybody has a bad day, and you will be happy that you have to confirm critical actions. So yes, I would always recommend to use a super user and try to avoid root whenever possible. Maybe some interesting additional arguments: Server Fault - What's…

Either look for debianuser in /etc/passwd as mentioned before or maybe an even better, more general solution, use: grep -v -E '/usr/sbin/nologin|/bin/false' /etc/passwd ... to show all users with login permissions and see if you spot any suspicious users you didn't expect on your server.

It‘s not exactly what you asked for, but there is a gigantic market for used Apple products. Yes, even a >5 year old Mac Mini is still pricy, but on the other hand if you need it only for 2-3 months you will also be able to sell it for roughly the same price you bought it. That might be cheaper then renting. (Especially if…
-
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. But, the same can happen to your home computer. There is no difference between a poorly secured VPS and a poorly secured home computer. Once you expose your computer with a public IP (not surfing behind a carrier-grade NAT), someone will also try to make your home computer make "sending…
-
The "dangerous" part in this is to operate a machine that is exposed to the "public". But, ... ... well, that's what you want to achieve anyhow. Even without the VPS, your own computer will be exposed to the public internet and it's your responsibility to keep it safe. Same risks apply to your computer too. ;)

If bots slow down your server, it‘s not always because there are too many bots crawling around but that they hit some „expensive“ resource, such as a long-running PHP script or something causing complex database queries. Could as well just be the GoogleBot following some links to something you didn‘t considered to be…

From my own experience, Austrian GmbHs already devour about 20k€ in legal, tax and administrative fees in the first ~3 years. So, no, that's not really an option with your budget. Go with a sole-trader or a GesbR if you have a low budget; or if you need the benefits of transferring rights/naming directors/registering a…

No need for the categories/tags indeed. But, I actually liked the “My Discussions”/“My Drafts”/etc section. And I don’t see much value in the “Latest Posts” widget. You can see the latest forum posts on the landing page anyhow.

Statping, as referenced by Freek already, is really nice. If you are a PHP developer by any chance and are looking to customise your uptime monitor, you might also want to consider Spaties uptime monitor (see also). It's Laravel-based and rather simplistic, but that provides a nice base to add your own features -…

OpenProvider is designed for resellers, but offers them with about ~20% discount (bi-annually, compare to Plesk website). Probably only worth it if you already have an OpenProvider account (starts at 49€/year).
-
It might still be an issue as Rowhammer attacks can be used to escalate privileges and thus pretty much render any sandboxing useless. Not an easy attack and likely to get spotted if you carefully monitor your machines, but one should be aware that is possible when enough energy is spent on it. Heck, there even was a proof…

There aren‘t any v2s in use at all; you must be mistaken on that one. The v2 series wouldn‘t even be compatible with the above mentioned Dell PowerEdge R630 and those old CPU series doesn‘t even support DDR4. As answered to your previous question, all new orders are assigned to E5-2680 v4s at the moment.

Happy Christmas, dear Low End Spiriters! Than let's fill up Anthony's thread; happy to make the start with some virtual servers in the Netherlands. :) The following recurring deal is available until 30.12.2020 (and as long stock lasts). The deal is exclusive to the LES community and only applies when you use the order link…

UK authorities are funny ones. Something as serious as founding a Limited can be done through an online form in less than 5 minutes, but some trivial tax matters (such as registering for UK VAT handling) has to be done via postal application.
-
If you look at it from the view of a provider, it should quickly makes sense why there is little reason in offering such small VPSes in 2020: * Support: the cost for support in your calculation will likely stay the same (independent of whether it has 256, 512 or even 1024 MB) * Transaction Fees & Accounting: same as above…

A good advice for any kind of venture is to start it with many hours weeks spend on Excel sheets.

Sorry, I just saw that you added the last question through editing your comment (and I can't edit my comment anymore). Yes, own equipment (and IP addresses), only the space in the data center is rented.
-
In general, there is no guarantee which specific CPU model you get during deployment, but they will always be somewhat comparable ones (performance-wise). At the moment, however, all new orders are placed onto nodes with Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs (as the one used in the benchmarks above). Serverius DC3 in Apeldoorn, NL

I'm sorry, but there are no further discounts other than the deal advertised above.
