Yup, it's down again lol. So, 5th in a month?
This is a very interesting host lol.
Technically server is still up, it's routing again
.
If you need your things you can use the IPv6 - it's still working, it's 100% uptime past 4 days (when I started Hetrixtool).
But yeah, I am out, this is too much for me
I understand your frustration on this matter but unfortunately this is being looked into by NOC. Will share details in email once this resolves along with compensation for the downtime.
This is affecting IPv4 , meanwhile ipv6 remains reachable incase you'd need to access critical data.
Update: The upstream provider is doing urgent maintenance with their core routers to fix this.
@Abd @JabJab thanks for the updates
It's amazing that we are always able to reach you on LET and over support. However, this really needs to be stabilized. It's annoying to see it going down frequently, even though we have redundancy built into our system.
Make two BGP sessions for redundancy.
they are, seems both sessions went down at the same time.
I will have full details from the upstream once it resolves
Make two BGP sessions with two different upstreams, not the upstream.
Where can I get information about your offers? I saw that webhorizon Singapore has been restocked and I would like to buy one again at a discount!
Is Singapore fairly unstable as a hosting country? My VPS has gone down twice in the last 4 weeks. The other nodes I have, in other countries, I have had no issues with and have been running for a while now with good uptime. But this Singapore VPS seems quite unstable.
Other providers in Singapore don't have such instability.
The rumor is that, the one that had alot of issues (oxh) go cheap & had so many abusers compunding over many problems that yet unsolved. This also include expensive bw cost in the region between the country cross connections, which might lead to old hardware not being quickly upgraded like in US or EU datacenters. It's not the DC fault, because DCs is triving in SG & countries capital city around it. The bw cost is the problem.
I'm actually not hitting anywhere close to the allocated bw for this node, currently doing about half of it at the most per month, about ~200GB or roundabout, out of an allocation of 500GB, and not thrashing the hell out of what cpu time I have allocated either. But yes it probably is down to others causing problems and other costs.
I actually have no issue hosting on out of date tech. I used to get those occasional deals OVH used to offer on the kimsufi site, like a year for 60 euros on an Intel Atom N270 with 2GB ram and 80GB HD. Perfect for a LAMP setup and medium sized game server (or several smaller ones). Back when OVH probably cared a little more. Nowadays most of what they have is junk and falls over more than stays up.
Lowering the price might not be a wise move either, risk of abuse would arise, unless can find a way to limit the flocking new clients & filter them. Price wise, the rent pricing were high, importing hardware might still cost alot.
At cost higher might try vultr or DO than hoping on junk & faulty handling 🙂 just my to cent, don't take it to bank 😆
So I apparently somehow violated the AUP, but they won't tell me how I violated the AUP. I did my due dilligence before getting the server and read both the ToS and AUP and have done nothing to violate it. Not to mention the fact they won't tell me how I have violated it.
Other companies would give you a list of violations. But this one seemingly does not.
I'm not willing to ask for it to be put online again until they tell me why it was suspended in the first place. Unless I know why, I can't avoid doing it in the future.
For anyone considering Webhorizon, be very careful. If you follow the AUP/ToS it seems you can still violate it somehow and not be told why.
That's wrong, we don't suspend without reason.
Edit: TOR is not allowed on nat vps clearly mentioned in our AUP: https://webhorizon.in/WebHorizon---AUP.html
So you allow tor middle relays on other servers, just not NAT VPS?
I was running a middle relay, because your AUP above that says no Exit Nodes, which is fine because running a Guard or Exit node on 256mb is not going to happen. But a low bandwidth middle relay will run on that spec.
If you don't allow Tor at all, then you should change your AUP to reflect that, by changing Tor Exit nodes under "Prohibited Uses" to anything Tor Related.
We don't allow it on nat vps as the IP gets listed in tor metrics and China blocks all tor related IPs.
It's allowed on dedicated IP services provided they abide with the rest of our policies
Tor relay (including guard, middle, exit) shows up on metrics.
Tor bridge and client won't get its IP listed on Tor metrics, so it's fine?
I tried running a bridge on that node already, but it overloads too quickly. 256mb ram is just too little for a bridge, unless you run something other than MOAT. You ideally need 512mb minimum for bridges.
It's fine, I will find some other use for that node. I'll answer the ticket as well and remove the relay.
I guess I'm on the look out for a new lowendbox that doesn't mind running middle relays and is in an obscure location.
Here we go again. Intermittent failures.
