Until you meet the super pissed XP IE user who clings to it like his life depends on it.
Yes and its not restricted to just https, same technique can work with SSH and TLS protected services such as secure wrapped pop3/imap etc.. (in 2014 should you have any non protected ports than http - which will use Host: header)?
Then,why would still get a vps,go get a sharedhosting then......and i dont want to access my vps(SSH/https(s)/FTP/etc) through another peoples proxy,even it's from the provider....=)
Ya I do have few users on windows XP
Its only effects XP users using IE, are you still going to worry about them after April?
Yes, bez even after April people are going to use windows XP.
Well I'd argue the point of a VPS isn't an IP address, its flexibility to run your own stack (etc.. py/ruby/golang/erlang) and persistence services (redis/mysql/pgsql/couch/mongo/whatever), the stability of guaranteed resources (maybe not on openvz), the ability to tune config and parameters of daemons and kernel parameters. None of these benefits are withdrawn by having a reverse proxy in front, no different than a load balancer or ELB on AWS.
It's not just XP...Win 7 and Win 8 in some cases, Python 3, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication#No_support
sure they are...but for me,it include having dedicated ip address....otherwise,having shared ip with other users,and if that/those ip's become problematic(blacklisted/ddos/etc),it is disrupting to what ever I run on my server or connection to/from my server...sure there would be HA proxy,but how fast will the provider act...=)
Referring to webdav, a protocol only marginally more efficient and less troublesome than FTP. If you offer webdav than you need a smack around the head more than a dedicated IP.
Python 3 situation is interesting, and admittedly quite surprising (and somewhat disappointing), I guess if you offer API services over https then you may have some short-term justification or could annotate documentation inform API consumers via Py3 to disable strict name checking (not ideal though)
There will always be edge cases, some people still < table > < tr > < td > layouts to accomodate, others march foward
Well done Ramnode, you're one of the few hosts that keep on giving even though I'm paying the same price every year.
nice news, just got one.thanks.
Honestly...the thought crossed my mind as well. They're only 1.5 years old (judging by whois).
But so far, my time with RamNode has been excellent.
Exactly.
Removed.
Wow, so nice.
Thank you.
Very good.
So does with BlueVM. Generous providers.
What about mail server that somehow requires a valid rDNS?
Anyway, if everything is NATed, I believe providers will have greater responsibility in maintaining the proxy, as well as having more fun in dealing with complaints and logs.
As I implied there are cases where it may be required, just not for most typical setups (imho).
In terms of done before (tm), Heroku pull off the proxy solution with no issue.
Nowadays with all the ballache of running an incoming mail server is that really a main stream (apart from silly cpanel hosts)? In terms of outgoing transactional mail most people who care about deliver-ability are using postmark/mandrill/sendgrid/aws-ses/mailgun/mailjet/etc.. and focusing on their core business strengths rather than managing mail reputation on a technical level.

That is general businesses you are referring to I believe.
However if you are in the IT business, or in IT department of a company dealing with infrastructure setup and management, the story can be pretty different. Outsourcing is an option, but not always the case.
Anyway I think we have derailed from the topic... as usual.
BlueVM? when? what?
Thanks! RamNode
yeah thanks Ramnode for the discount and great service
2 day ago,
bluevm give code for 50% discount to existing customer to get new vps.
and 60% for new customer.
same too me!
Well I hope that isn't the case but I have wondered about that. They're a great company at the moment, from what I've seen at LET, acquisitions don't often go too well.
I wouldn't worry! If anything it's likely to be an attempt to bolster v4 usage to get more before final /8 policy mid this year.
Why's everyone so interested in having a second IP? I had the choice to get a second IP for free, because I purchased one of the more expensive plans from them and I didn't care to select the additional IP that would've come with the VPS for free.
I might be alone but I like to run my test and production sites on different IPs.
Sure, I could use virtualhosts, but after having thunderbird blow up with SSL errors (WHY?!?) the last time I tried to server different domains from the same IP, I'll stick with what works.
They just probably decided: damn, we have a /24 subnet which is completely blacklisted among most of email providers for spam, lets give it away for free, anyways nobody can spam from it anymore.

People like free anything free, whether they need it or not.
