    @ezeth said: Hmm. Do you really think KVM is an upgrade? If so why?

    256MB KVM doesn't make much sense at all since the kernel will eat a big chunk of ram.

    I never understood why people prefer KVMs. With OpenVZ you get a cheaper VPS with the ability to run pretty much all applications such as wireguard with kernel support, dockers etc.

    Resource wise you also get to use more ram and disk space since the kernel is sponsored by the provider

    There is a place for OpenVZ, but KVM does make sense for many things.
    With KVM I can use swap, and newer kernels then 3.1.

    @emperor - I still have one of those $3/y 384MB RAM, 17GB SSD as well. :)

    In 2022 no company should store card details on their end, so you shouldn't worry about this. Card payments are the most convenient for server hosts, less abuse and worry free with proper anti-fraud rules in place.

    Tbh I don't think it matters that much if a provider stores it or not. Most cards will require 3d secure for purchases

    Ok, when you use the vps service on your mobile phone and computer at the same time, you will receive emails in different network environments. It is not allowed to share the network protocol. This is a violation of the service regulations. It means that it can only be used alone. Do you think it is reasonable?

    I've tried both OpenVZ 8, and OpenVZ 9 with the new 5.14 kernel and both of these work some what fine. OpenVZ 8 with kernel 4.18 works without issues, though the 5.14 kernel is quite annoying to get to work. Preferably you would get a RHEL 9 OS, then install the packages and build custom kernel for OpenVZ 9

    https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/vzkernel/commits?until=refs/heads/branch-rh9-5.14.vz9.1.x-ovz&merges=include

    Yes I tried this and built it. It worked but I don't think it's production ready. I really don't want to have to deal with any bugs so I stick with the good old trusty kernel 3.10 with wireguard kernel mod

    OpenVZ works with swap also. I've just disabled it because I don't want to have swap

    Yeah, but card processing companies are going to be audited and held to a higher security standard for storing payment details than a small business running their own. I wouldn't trust you to store my card details, I wouldn't trust myself to store my card details, which is why very few hosting companies do now.

    That's true. But what if you need to switch credit card processor?

    As long as you have good practice and don't give away your logins to some 1USD/hour remote 3rd world worker I think you're fine

    @ezeth said: OpenVZ 8 with kernel 4.18 works without issues

    Thanks for mentioning this. I'll have to try OpenVZ 8 out. 4.18 would be a big step in the right direction.

    Yes this even works with virtualizor. I was thinking about launching with either OpenVZ 8 or 9, but I decided not to in the end.

    I see no reason for going with kernel 4.18, or 5.14 unless you want to have 2029 EOL. If you need wireguard support you can just mod the 3.10 kernel to support it like I've done

    I understand that. But I believe most if not all companies have insurance that will cover it if something goes wrong. 1M USD liability insurance is quite cheap.

    Being locked in with one processor isn't ideal. What if they raise fees like PayPal?

    can I upgrade to 1gb and keep the ip?

    @kalipus said:

    Yes. Since it's OpenVZ you can upgrade, downgrade without reboots also! 100% uptime and great flexibility

    Yikes. ATTN hackers: here is an easy stack of credit cards, you just need to bypass the "sophisticated security system" boom has in place..

    Only the multi core performance :(

    Also did a test build of some packages and it took about twice as long as an Hetzner CX21 server

    Also did an earlier test and it was Single core 580 Multi 68x

    Would you be able to give me your VPS ID or order/invoice id?

    Cheap VPS

    0.5 GB RAM
    500 GB Monthly Transfer
    500Mbps Network Port
    1 Dedicated IPv4 + /64 IPv6 Address
    OVZ7 / Virtualizor Control Panel
    Automatic weekly backups to an offsite location
    ONLY $4.95/YEAR!
    ORDER NOW: https://my2.boomer.host/cart/vps-hosting/

    Cheapest IPv4 since ColonCrossing?
    I had a $3.99/year VirMach with 384MB RAM.
    This one is only $1 more and has a little more RAM (but less disk).

    Question is, is it RAM or SWAP?

    Another question is, would there be another Virtualizor migration that causes me to permanently lose access to the VPS?
    https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3371039/#Comment_3371039

    It's RAM.

    I hope so!
    That 4GB looks delicious.
    It's same price as 2GB at other providers.

    I didn't migrate virtualizor, or loose the password in fact you should be able to request a password reset https://vps.boomer.host:4083/#act=login&sa=fpass

    Tried again.
    Password reset email is working now, but whatever password I enter in the reset form, the login form still says wrong password.
    I'm sure I've entered the same password on both forms, because it's either filled automatically by Chrome browser or pasted from clipboard.

    Yes, getting the same issue :(

    Fixed! It looks like CPU % was set at 100% on all plans. But of course it should be 200% on the last one. So while you had two cores you were only able to utilize 50% on each core.

    Yeah this seems to be some bug with virtualizor where users created under cloud accounts (in this case FAT32 created these accounts for you from his cloud/reseller account) cannot login themselves. All regular users still work fine.

    Wireguard works just fine for Netflix, Prime etc. For 5 bucks an year, it's the best one out there because you'll also get a dedicated IPv4.

    Did you test it or just suggesting that the technology works? :)

    Edit: Just tried Netflix and seems to work using WireGuard to Boomer.Host, impressive!
