But Is this Love?
I have been warning against SecureDragon, they're scammer's.
They will just take away your vps, one reason if you're not polite, that's against their TOS, So if you don't like what they're doing, don't get mad, polite, say it's O.K, etc.
If you complain or say anything, they will just null the i.p.
I already lost 2 vps(yearly), now he's trying to get rid of all of you and pocket the money. That's how they operate, don't get it yet?
Yeah, nobody believes you.
We've been thinking of that since the beginning but unfortunately the SAN setup we had didn't go as planned so we had to ditch that idea. At my day job we run a massive HA environment (1 minute of downtime is about 7 million dollars lost if I remember correctly) so I've been getting really friendly with ESXi and all of the components. Our goal is that if a server dies in the middle of the night nobody goes offline so we've got a handful of things we are exploring from something as simple as each VPS can failover to a second node in the same DC to a cloud environment that spans multiple locations. Of course, providing HA service for $7/month will also be difficult so that's one thing that's holding us back also (LEBs are where my heart's at).
If I can't figure out an easy way to script it then we'll start manually adding IPs tonight (it's really easy to script it on the server side but SolusVM and WHMCS do not make it so easy). Clients on FIRE02, SHADOW01, and GOLD01 will get their new IPs first since they don't require any extra steps like our active nodes do.
Once we know when our network will be up at E Solutions we'll send out a 2nd e-mail with the timeline of the move. Right now we're waiting for our upstream providers to get setup to accept our BGP announcement (the paperwork was filled out Friday but the network tech coordinating it won't be back in until Monday).
We did consider it but it wasn't in the budget to pay for 2 locations and especially 2 locations in FL. Our second location will be probably be on the west coast as it seems to be the most requested for us.
Nonsense. You were probably doing something very shady. If not you should Get Up, Stand Up for your rights.
Secure Dragon is a top-notch provider and it's Marley weekend
Yes, that's why we just spent thousands of dollars to build up our new cabinet, get our own ASN + IPs, and signed a 2+ year contract with our new data center so we can steal money. Keep in mind that the majority of our clients are paying about $2/month so stealing money would not be profitable for us since we are under contract for 2+ years so if we disappear we still have to pay our bills (and since they are only 15 minutes away from us hiding isn't an option either). LoL.
@LAKid - just cram it. We already know you're only purpose here is to try and troll threads involving KuJoe. All you do is discredit yourself.
Oh, I got it... lol
I'm looking forward to the move. Hope all goes well for you @KuJoe
weee if i can irc on your net i'd grab one immediately
especially if you have arch/freebsd
Good luck, hope your services are even better than they are w/ GoRack.
If you do allow IRC I would buy immediately
We have Arch on OpenVZ.
As for the IRC thing. While I don't want to say it's definitely happening, I am feeling confident about it (clients only though, no IRC servers).
Your network in Jacksonville has been really fast, I hope Tampa is just as good.
CORRECTION: I did some testing and there will be some downtime for each OpenVZ VPS because the connection won't restore until we manually go into SolusVM and set the primary IP address for each VPS (if you check now you have your new IP address in SolusVM). We'll be setting the primary IPs as migrations complete so downtime will be minimal unless the migrations complete faster than we're able to click (SolusVM isn't the speediest script and even less so that it's on the other side of the US).
Me too. Tampa has a lot more bandwidth providers versus Jacksonville so hopefully more is better.
But the new IP dosent work for me
It won't work till the moving is complete i guess.
This has been addressed many times in this thread, in both e-mails, and in our announcement.
Sorry for that. I was just preparing to change domain resolution.
I also happen to be administrator of a ESXi cluster at day job. After you see HA technology saving your day (and lots of company money), you want HA everywhere. In my opinion, some sort of HA features will be standard in near future, even on LEB's. Of course ESXi-like HA capabilities are overkill here. Last year I was searching something that could have been easily implemented at the control panel level, with some scripts. Basically, a backup virtual machine syncronized with the main machine at scheduled times - every few hours or once a day - that will automatically (or manually) go online with the same IP address of the faulty VM. You don't need a storage area network to do this (but it certainly will help). This setup is not a "true" HA but will have been OK for my needs, and I will have easily paid twice the price of the single VPS, because I basically ended up setting two identical VPS's and manually setting up a backup script from primary to secondary (repurposing a spare VPS I already had around). I was amazed that this was not provided as standard, because this would have doubled the sales of the VPS provider: I would have bought an already configured and tested service.
I agree with @pcan. And if you are using service like CloudFlare, you can migrate or switch to another server seamlessly without any downtime - without any change on public IP (using CloudFlare public IP). You just need to change the A record inside CloudFlare control panel.
@NanoG6 DNS Failover is easy and cheap to do, the problem is that the majority of our clients use IPs and not DNS for their needs. If they were using DNS they could have a failover setup like we have now with DNSMadeEasy for a few bucks a month.
@Everybody Please read the e-mails thoroughly before opening a ticket. We are getting entirely to many "my new IP doesn't ping" tickets.
@NanoG6 I keep TTLs on domains for public use between 60 and 300 seconds. Also, loosing 1 nameserver isn't a big deal when you have more than 2 nameservers. IP changes/server migrations are not a problem for me.
Lots of DNS services don't honor short TTLs like that. Many don't honor times less than one hour.
Browsers also cache DNS and may not honor short TTLs.
Someone told me Google Public DNS doesn't honor TTLs longer than 24 hours but I never checked up on it because I don't use it.
Namely, Internet Exporer. Microsoft email clients are also really freaking bad for this. Outlook, Outlook Express, Whatever-they-call-it-now are horrible with DNS. Basically they resolve at start-up and never re-check. A real nuisance when your trying to propagate new DNS and users have left their email running for the weekend
Any ETA for the move? I admit, I tl;dr'ed both emails, but from what I could see there is to ETA yet. So when, tomorrow, next week, next month, this year?
From the email, new network will be up tomorrow at the earliest, with migration after that. So I suppose sometime this coming week. Subscribed to their RSS?
Personally, I am looking at Wednesday or Thursday at the latest but OpenVZ can be as early as Tuesday morning.
We will be moving all of our internal stuff over first, then Backup VPSs, then cPanel Hosting, then OpenVZ, then lastly Xen PV will be moved with the equipment.
That doesn't quite make sense to me.
https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html
IPv4 /20 is $1250
IPv6 /32 is $1,687.50 currently
you only pay the higher fee, not both.
Either way, good luck with the move.
I was looking at the first chart titled "IPV6 ANNUAL FEES" (silly me for assuming that chart had accurate pricing, LoL):
So even at $437.50 difference we've currently setup our budget based on the $1250 cost. Maybe in a few months when we recoup our migration costs we'll redo our budget.
It seems they would make you pay twice then though
