OVH lists Frankfurt as a location, though I think it is actually Limburg, which is 100km away.

I see, the Netcup root servers use Xeon Gold 6140/6230, though I wonder how much real speed difference there is from the E5 v3/v4 for most apps. The cpu frequency is similar.
-
It would also be cool to use 3970X to host a CX12, CX22, etc. Those would have the exact same specs as the CX11, CX21 etc. (same # of cores and same ram) but would be faster because of the 3970x's higher frequency cpu. They would be a bit more expensive and possibly have cpu allocation than the current stuff, without being…

Well, the complaint about this vps is slow cpu and i/o. That's the part that I was a bit surprised by. Though yeah, 10gb of ram etc. at 6.5e/m is hard to expect much from.

No the idea is that you're sharing work that you did, but obviously you should use GPL licensing unless someone is paying you to do the work. Working for the direct benefit of one company doing support is not really different than cleaning their bathrooms for free. And don't take unpaid internships either! There might be…
-
I'm surprised people are complaining about this, since it got good reports on the other forum, and is comparably priced and spec'd to a similar Netcup product that is well regarded, I think. I might be confused though. 10GB of ram is a lot.
-
Don't work for some company for free, it's morally wrong. If you want to volunteer for something, do it for a FOSS project or a nonprofit or something. And if you're a developer, why the heck do you want to work on support? Hosting is no different from anything else. It's basically a SAAS product except the service is raw…
-
Ya know, this might not be what you had in mind, but a CX61 (basically 2x a CX51 in all dimensions) hosted on a large Epyc or TR3970X would be pretty handy. I'm glad to hear this ;)

I hope everyone is staying safe. Over here (USA) there is suddenly a gigantic amount of unemployment since so many businesses have had to stop operations. There's less issue finding people, than having ways for them to work safely on physical stuff like servers, requiring them to travel to and from the office or DC instead…
-
@tehdartherer yes it does sound that way, if your objects can fit into your 100gb buffer zone and you don't mind the multiple moves. But if regular object storage is billed hourly, that seems to solve the issue. If I understand the blurb, you can just put your stuff there, then change the storage class to "cold". When you…

Nice! EPYC 7502P. Very "Enterprise" :). Your old Threadripper AX server is gone from the AX page, so hopefully a new one (based on 3970X?) is coming. That's probably of more interest for LET hosting.
-
Oh that's right, St. Louis. Wholesale is in Kansas City. That address seems to be Datotel, another colo host: https://local.yahoo.com/info-84320134-datotel-st-louis Amusingly they say they are using Optane to accelerate their SSD servers, the same way everyone else uses SSD to accelerate HDD. That tells me their SSD's…
-
Heh, wonder if Wholesale Internet is involved. Thanks for the update.
-
Oh that is interesting and I didn't realize it. It basically solves the issue I described. Thanks.

Ok, it looks like C14 Cold Storage and only transfer to and from Scaleway Object Storage, which costs 0.01eur/GB/m. It doesn't sound like one can get charged for a partial month. So if you have 1TB in cold storage, that's 2 eur/m which is pretty good, but if you restore it then it is 10 eur/m and it could be that you get…

Contabo in the past had unsustainably low prices and badly overloaded servers. They attracted buyers who were after the cheap price tag and often ended up unsatisfied. There are various bad reviews of them in the LET archives. More recently I've heard their stuff has been better, but I haven't tried myself. The current…
-
Wait what, they have free transfer between C14 and object store now? That seems too good to be true. Lemme check into it. Added: it looks like they have drastically changed how C14 works. I guess it wasn't that attractive before. I used it for a few long term backups but might put some more stuff in it now. Thanks for…
-
C14 doesn't have a bandwidth charge per se, they charge for transfer operations and C14 itself is semi-offline storage. Are you thinking of Scaleway's object storage product? It would surprise me if they gave free bandwidth for that, beyond the free-tier 75gb. https://www.scaleway.com/en/object-storage/

Yeah I'm pretty noise sensitive and that's why I usually want my servers in faraway data centers ;). If I were to get one at home I'd set it up like a super quiet HTPC or gaming rig even though I don't care at all about media or gaming. Thanks.
-
Does that mean no case fan?! What about cpu fan? Other noise? I have a very old Supermicro 1U server that is has some coaxial 1U fans at crazy high rpm. It sounds like a plane taking off. Way too noisy to use at home.
-
Hey, thanks!
-
Yeah the thing you're remembering as a pi was the odroid xu-4 which was somewhat more powerful, though Hetzner's version was on the expensive side iirc. ARM not catching on was less a matter of goodwill than that they (so far) have never been that hot a server side proposition despite some attempts like Caviar. Of course…
-
Thanks for doing this, and I'd be up for trying it in LA or LV if you're ok with that. Use case: try out directadmin to see how it compares with cpanel from user perspective. Resources required: close to zero. I already have ample hosting (some personal pages on cpanel hosts, and on vps) for stuff to serve to the public. A…

Corona beer has rebranded to prevent being confused with coronavirus (don't remember whether I got this pic from here):

Vcores but still very good. Thing is when I need more cpu than a typical decent vps gives, I want lots of cores and usually lots of disk space (like TB's). So I'm still happiest with a cheap dedi. It would be interesting to figure out some kind of product that allowed prolonged bursting at high core count but was much…
-
How much space are you looking for?
-
That's an interesting idea with the tutorials. Ideally the tutorial would be about something that really uses the capabilities of the machine. I'll see if I can think of anything. I hope you are all staying safe there. The US is handling the virus situation absolutely terribly. Those of you who don't have to physically be…
