DarkJC posted:I'm still interested in getting a VPS for playing with. I guess I was just looking for confirmation to see if I was on the right track with Linode or whether there was something that suited me for cheaper. For what I'm doing I can't see needing any more than 256-512 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk space, for the moment anyway. Definitely check out intovps.com

What are you trying to achieve? thegasman2000 posted:Could that share the load so I dont rape bandwidth on one account? Just choose an appropriate VPS in the first place rather than bodging together some goontastic solution on a shoestring. intoVPS is $10/mo for 500gb/mo bw. Unless you're averaging >1.6mbps or not making like 3 app sales a month, I don't see what's wrong with that deal.

TheRevolution1 posted:What's the best cheap dedicated server for VPN/seedbox? I basically just need something with decent bandwidth and traffic limits, extra storage space is a plus. Performance doesn't really matter, needs to be dedicated so that I can install an OpenVPN server. you can install openvpn on KVM-based VPSs, and on OpenVZ-based VPSs if tun/tap support is enabled on the host (ask) note that kimsufi only include 5TB/mo in the cost, read the footnotes also check out hetzner who offer a very similar deal also check out the dedicated/vps offers forum on webhostingtalk, though they're full of fly-by-night companies Rufus Ping fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Jun 19, 2012 |

Sperg Victorious posted:I'm already on namecheap, but my blog is being harassed by some psycho that sends barrages of abuse complaints to people's hosts he doesn't like. My host already politely told me to get off shore hosting, since they don't want to deal with it anymore. But now I'm worried that the same person will start barraging namecheap with abuse complaints, resulting in a similar situation. try nfshost or prq.se maybe also put it behind cloudflare, though I hear they hand over the real host IP willy-nilly these days rawrr posted:edit: and I don't think domains are subject to the same, rather lax DMCA takedowns as hosting. Only time I've seen it were FBI seizures with file sharing/poker sites, and I think they needed warrants for that. yeah this Put the domain on gandi if you're bothered about spurious legal threats against your registrar, but namecheap should be fine.

wanderlost posted:Can anyone point me towards a resource for learning how to configure MX records? I have a colo'd mini that I want to use as a mail server, but I'm not sure how to go about formatting the MX record. Thanks guys! the format is like e.g. CNAME recs but has a number as well which is the relative priority (lower = more preferable) if you have more than one. if you don't, just put 10 or something it doesn't matter e.g. domain.com. MX 10 mail domain.com. MX 10 mail.whatever.com. works exactly like you'd expect with @origin and accepting mail to subdomains

I got shafted by enom after the demise of RegisterFly. I ended up having to buy my own domain names back from them (in the guise of NameJet) at auction. I think they have a ticket system when you log in here http://www.enomcentral.com/help/ I suggest moving your domains to namecheap or gandi asap. If they refuse to refund you for goMobi (did they automatically sign you up to the free trial?), you could do a cc chargeback

cloudflare's pretty decent at easing the burden of seving static content. You may also need to look at how any databases you have cope under load. For PHP sites I've seen big improvements from installing APC and setting stat=0.
