Yeah, whatever happened to SuSe? Never been a fan, but as a consultant I used to run into it everywhere, now I haven't heard anything SuSe related for years. If we are talking nostalgia, I would like to see Slackware make a comeback. :)

I cant believe it hasn't been said already, but...the end is neigh!

This is basically what I meant. The reason people (atleast to some extent) run CentOS is that it's supported by their preferred control panel/software. If the panels change track, people will follow, and hence they will not have to run "beta" software on their servers.

Actually no. Never had a need for 10Gbps in one core, I don't run servers on 5G and rarely compile anything. Developers might need that kind of cutting edge, but developers don't need stability in the same way providers do.
-
Just to be clear, the main problem with CentOS dying/changing is finding a distribution with support from various panels? I've never used such a panel in my life so I find this "which distro is best?" a bit confusing, since I simply run whatever works best for whatever purpose the server has. But I can see that as a…

Everyone except the millions of other Google users and Google itself that now have to enforce these kind of limits thanks to users like you.

I use it wherever I can, unfortunately, not all registrars support it.

I would agree of we were talking some retail price dumping of one-time purchases, but what annoys me is the recurring price offers. I have no problem if retail dumps TV's for half price on BF, that's a one time deal and the profit/loss is easy to calculate. The thing that bugs me is the providers that seems to dump…

If you are selling shared hosting, that is basically the only way to make money. I recently signed up for lifetime shared hosting, 2GB space, unlimited emails/domain/bandwidth and free support, for the somewhat insane price of €9.99. Let that sink in for a moment, a one-time fee of €9.99 for lifetime hosting! I hate to be…

This! This is so true, and I'm glad someone finally mentions it. It always pisses me off when I pay 10-20$ a month for a VPS and I'm a loyal customer, and then the provider offers new customers a better VPS for 3-5$ a month with a bunch of perks that are not available to me. You sell me stuff with a good margin and I…

I visit occasionally, but the amount of time between visits keep growing. The design and layout just drives me crazy, I cant stand all the icons and 10 line signatures with colors and weird fonts. 90% of every page is pure crap.

Seems to be the way they do business. I had a few *BSD VPS's at misshosting. The first two years they were like $30 a year, then all of a sudden they change their prices and now they were like $400 a year. They did however give me a free month to have time to move and cancelled the service without any problems, so no…

Miss Group is huge! Lately they've been on a shopping spree, especially in Scandinavia. Ballou, FS Data and Hemsida24 is (was?) among the biggest players on the Swedish market and they've all been bought by Miss Group. If you go to www.missgroup.com and click on "About us" they even have a "Are you looking to exit the…

I agree. The only way to get a community sourced db without to many false positives is if the project get massive spreading on the scale that thousands of reports of abuse still would not be enough to render a block. If you have millions of installations all over the planet you can pretty easily detect patterns that show…

Same here, and I have been actively looking for VPS's in Sweden for several years.

The problem is not the cost of the hardware, its the cost of the transit. Hardware cost is a one time fee, while 100Gbps links are expensive and payed every month.
-
I don't really need a vps right now, but if I could adjust offers to better suit me, it would probably look a lot different then what you are used to. CPU and RAM can be adjusted depending on the task, flexibility there is already good on most offers. Bandwidth. Most offers are like "10GBit, super response times, a million…

I agree with above, it's junk. I could possibly imagine some marketing or promotion cases where one would use it for a website if you find a suitable name matching the tld, but I would never use it for mail or anything infrastructure. I strongly suspect that there are probably thousands of snippets of code out there to…

It depends on what kind of software it is and where it is used. If I am to resell something I very much prefer if its my branding on the product, not someone elses. If it's internal use and never faces customers, I couldn't care less.

Being European I've been waiting for slabs to be available in LU to move to BuyVM, so the part about bad peering and transit in LU worries me. Cogent sucks in Europe so if they only use that it does not surprise me that it's bad, but according to the website they have TeliaSonera too which is prem here. Any users with vps…
