man i am setting up a DB server on a lsw vps1 seems fine for now let's see how it unfolds

MariaDB?

A single server for mariadb + postgres, with couple of DBs ranging from 400mb to 1gig

You already have that much of data? existing project?

yeah have to move around bunch of stuff and fix some issues with nginx fastcgi

Postgres seems much more lightweight than PHPMyAdmin. Gotta try it out someday.

postgrest and mariadb both are different, my use case mostly goes with mariadb postgres for some js stuff where i don't need that much of data unlike mariadb.

You are back again? finished your setup?

the setup is done and now i need to move the DBs..... the pain......

So all nighter then?

prolly will take 2-3 hours if everything goes accordingly.

Planned that tonight?

yeah will be doing it by 1AM and head straight to sleep.

1AM is quite a late bed time. Cant say I havent done that myself either though

Today, had another great support experience, courtesy of the RackNerd customer support team. I don't know if they have an internal mechanism to monitor response times, but, I am still amazed by their quick response times. And, it makes me wonder why those big corporations with all that money, charging 4x prices than RackNerd can't provide quick support. Gonna stick with RackNerd for life now !

May be RackNerd have their own support AI

True, support is the main thing most companies fail to deliver.

Hi @xpress7 -- No AI within our support Just a passionate team that understands the importance of quick, helpful support, and truly cares for our customers' needs as if it were their own. I actually talked more about this in an interview on LowEndBox here: https://lowendbox.com/blog/interview-with-racknerd-ceo-dustin-cisneros-the-importance-of-human-interaction-in-customer-service/

I agree with you though, support is indeed where many companies fall short. It's why we've invested heavily in building a solid team that can deliver consistent response times. This has helped us maintain our reputation in the industry

Was joking about AI. Almost all of the members here vouch for the RackNerd support. It is premium.

Yeah its nice having real people on the other end. AI defeinilty works for somethings maybe lowest level of support but you always need a way to break out of ai mode

Hey Dustin, can I have double bandwidth on this order?

Number: 9479995322

Thank you.

You bought a new server this season?

$850 RackNerd credits, dude! Remember?

Yup. I am wondering what you bought. I thought you will take some time to decide what to do

Nah, got friends lined up to buy stuff as well. I wanted to try something good and saw my chance right here.

Just tell us what you bought. A dedi?

Nah, not yet, just a Ryzen VPS fo a few months to test stuff out. Friends planning to get a few dedis.

Ryzen where? I think i've seen Racknerd have baremetal in singapore.

US itself. Didn't care about the location. The project I plan there better be close to US.

Oh.. is this your mystery project?

Nope, this is for a friend. The mystery project is almost done.

how much more work do you have left on mysetry project? I am exicted to see it. Hyped just as much for that as I am for this thread at this point

True, support is the main thing most companies fail to deliver.

Yah. They somehow overcharge and fail to deliver the bare minimum in terms of after sales support. Don't understand what their strategy is.

I've seen them. Some people are fighting in HH thread as well about support.

Pardon me what's HH?

Another premium provider here.

Oh yah, TrK clarified. Hosthatch, right?

Yup, there was big fighting going between fans and people who ordered one month back. HH team is not communicating it seems.

i guess they grew a little faster than they could handle..... the reports pile up and it keeps increasing unless one completely focus on them and leave rest.

Yup, I think their service is good, but support is worst as per the comments..

Sounds like a good enough reason as any to avoid in that case

Hi @DrNutella -- While I'm not an affiliate hehe, I can share what makes us stand out from others RackNerd has grown quite a bit, and we've done it by delivering super competitive deals with rock solid performance.

Our New Year deals are super spicy, https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear

Quick support (10 min average response time), performance you can rely on, and pricing that'll make you look twice. Trust me - once you give us a shot, you'll see why our customers stick around. ❤️

Chef is here

Chief..

Everyoe calls him chef! so I'll be calling him chef!

Whoever wins the PS5, are you planning to buy GTA 6 for it?

I'll buy some fantasy game.

Got any specific game in mind? Like Elden Ring?

That sounds good. Will definitely buy the Witcher 4.

Oh yah, Witcher games are generally good. Not into fantasy games, though. I have been a Naughty Dogs fan for long.

Witcher 3 is just awesome. Became fan of it, and watched all the web series based on it.

i have played wither games but i honestly like elder scrolls series due to their unique ideas in each game, and guess what all their games are connected. Bethesda recently released star field and man i do want to play it badly...

I will defnittely try the Elder scrolls then. About the withcer, basically I am addicted to the music, and the scenic places.. I spent lot of time in Skellige. Just to enjoy the music and locations..

highly recommended! Suprised you have made it this long without playing it

Oh, I used to think Postgres was a PHPMyadmin alternative. Isn't it a client rather than a server?

yeah postgresql it's a db server

Didn't know this. Thank you.

always happy to help, there are other db servers as well, typically monogodb and postgres are more flexible than mariadb and can scale better for me mariadb is serving just too much of my infra.... don't have time or patience to migrate everything over.

Me as well. Moved to MariaDB a few years ago from MySQL. Stayed with it, cause it serves my purposes well, and is slightly faster than MySQL in some cases. Will have to try Postgres one of these days.

you will instantly notice the difference specially since postgres supports much more indexing types than mariadb and of course the scalability....

Yup. I am also planning to use it for the shop plan I told you before.

sounds like a plan, i would also suggest leveraging redis or something better for in memory caching, you get better response times.

I use redis.

good to know, any other recommendations? i am currently looking at dragonfly....

Haven't try the others. Redis the goto for my laravel apps
