I don't think 98% is good enough for anyone. A production server (and even a development server) should have at least 99.9% uptime
@gsrdgrdghd I prefer 100%. I know it's not a realistic promise, but it's the only goal worth shooting for.
Anyone grabbed DixHost offer?
Yes @jarland but do you have much knowledge of networking and how much packetloss can cripple application layer services? uptime isn't the most of my worries in my opinion and like I said for static sites thats fine, but anything dynamic, and I mean ANYTHING.. it can be ruined by very small amounts of packetloss, and high amounts well you're screwed, volumedrive/burstNET are notorious for this and to add to that the terribly unreliable support they offer.. well that's the nail in the coffin for any production environment. and yeah.. I do hate them. HATE!
@jarland well 100% can be achieved through redundancy, project my team is working on now is almost complete and is a fully redundant cloud architecture, redundancy through all of the layers (that's DNS, loadbalancers, clouds, backend webservers) - for a relatively cheaper alternative you can make up your own home cooked method and get 100% uptime no problem, of course this type of solution would only really work for websites, since you're relying on the application layer being redundant and not everything as a whole.
@PAD Yeah I get that. Just saying, it served it's purpose, and if we were one of those hosting companies that preferred to roll in mediocrity we'd probably still be there. They can absolutely provide the upper tier of mediocrity for a very reasonable price. Long story short, that's kind of why we stopped accepting clients by anything but referral for nearly a year, so we could be better prepared to offer something of higher quality.
I do appreciate some good redundancy. I'm working on adding a few layers of redundancy right now that probably aren't necessary but make me sleep better at night. Other projects have kept pushing that back in priority.
Well the hard drive space is definitely a lot. but not everyone would fill up their space. is the hard drive already allocated when the vps is created?
immo- chicagovps' offer is cheaper and thus more oversold in my opinion.
What @Kairus ??? Ruuuuuun!
Wait, i dont know whatyou're talking about
it can take months for VD to setup your box ans the ignore you. rant on the webs
@Jack you're biased as hell towards them, they're bad. its called a standard, they don't match it.
Wow - DixHost.. Wow...
They seem to be making some ballsy offers.
SummerHosts
this got to be a joke.
@Jack Experiences seem to vary. Luck of the draw I guess. Plenty complain about getting no support, for example, yet you have great response time and honestly they were always extremely friendly and helpful to me as well. They're actually pretty cool guys and I'm impressed at the quality for the price.
Anyone brave enough to take them up on their service offer?
They're Mexican!
I'm interested to see the I/O of these precious nodes.
soport LOL
A 2TB hard drive has a stated capacity of 2000GB.
from Leon guanajuato? nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@netomx why?
@jcaleb dunno, just wanna to say that
I thought its a bad place
nah, it's cool there - and nice
They offer low budget which I can sure this is resulf of being overselling. Why did you talk any more when we know that?
lol
@HalfEatenPie IO is the worse bottleneck for a VM. Actually, I always start building my nodes from storage up. If I have low grade storage, dropping it on 24 GB ram and 4 proc hardware is a huge waste of proc and ram. It wont get to be used due to the machines starting to die because of IO problems, the proc will be 97% wa in average and nothing will move except the HDDs running like crazy. For that kind of machine a fiberchannel setup would be in order to take it to the level of proc and ram.
If I cant afford a good raid controller, I am better off stuffing 10x 80 GB HDDs in a case with 16 GB ram and one quad core CPU and give one to each machine.

'Dix'-host, yeah, sure.
or my proxy is down or those offers are not available :O i mean, http://dixhost.org/ does not load, connection resused
lol, let me resell the $7 usD from @CVPS_Chris , I'm gonna be rich!
Is that what he is doing lol?
I dunno, but it is a good plan... make me a reseller =P
