Naming scheme for servers

Comments

  • Mine are all Naruto related. (naruto, sakura, kakashi, etc.) Pretty fun to play with. :)

  • Thinking about naming mine (now that I have 2) stud and muffin.

    I kept running into limits with naming schemes, so now I'm naming them after people in forums.

    @DrMike is the firewall
    @Aldryic is the proxy
    @Francisco, @Infinity, @miTgiB are the databases
    @yomero and @Daniel form additional proxy servers
    @Boltersdriveer, @maxexcloo, @fan, @giang are mail & file servers
    @LowEndAdmin is the background monitoring node
    other members make up the nginx servers

    ...and we just scrapped @justinb because of a failure.

  • LOL! Thanks for consider me XD XD XD

    There infinite options...I use elements from the periodic table.

  • @Xeoncross Thank for using my name as your server's name ;)

  • wish i could creatively name anything but it's pretty much just "apps44-140.ord.us.domain"

    After Strugatsky books I've read. Makes me read more when I don't have any more names of their books

  • I use Final Fantasy characters. My main one is cloudstrife from FFVII, the best one in the series :)

    Rikku is hotter.

  • Agreed, but thats a character I would use for a test box to play with ;)

  • My scheme is VPS.Architect(Xen, OpenVZ)-Location(City for US and Country for the rest :D)-Number(01, 02...).mydomain :D

    For example: openvz-la-01.mydomain

  • Planets for me. So far only within solar system. No need to expand beyond yet.

  • LOL @Xeoncross. Thanks!

    Wonder who those are :P

    Hehe @Xeoncross. Infinity was my first server name then came my username.

    Dang, I knew pouring that bottled water on the server was going to cause trouble. :)

    No, I'm not trying to make light of his situation but I couldn't resist.

    edit: thinking about renaming out antispam boxes to f*cking and retards.

  • VPS - mainly swedish names (older is better), one is named after USA state
    servers/desktops at home - swedish names but that doesn't apply to some of my boxes (my main PC is sverige what means "sweden" in swedish and my two fileservers are named after airports in Stockholm - skavsta & arlanda).
    routers - seas (as I have only one atm it's named after closest sea - baltic).

    Maybe name the building grounding port after him or something like that....

    Why do you hate your buildings grounding port so much man?

  • After recently reading Churchill's Wizards and now being part-way through the mammoth The Defense of the Realm, I think that historic secret service project code names would make great server names. They have a resounding ring... and the guys who made then up 60 or 90 years ago probably went through the same "naming" agony.

    I could tell you some of the ones I have in mind for specific servers, but then I'd have to kill you.

    I made that joke here once and got a ton of crap for it.

  • @DrMike, I can understand why. You are the most valuable LET member (or at least the most active). But your comments come across as indifferent, frustrated, crass, and hardhearted (or I should say "unsympathetic") some times.

    We all talk like this at times, but you more so because of your past experiences. People now-a-days just can't take hardly anything without getting offended. Which is fine, actually as there is never a reason to speak to someone like this.

    I just shake my head at some of the immature younger members and move on.

    I'm going to cry now.

    Thought that was the title for all Bieber's current songs? Am I missing something again?

  • I like the way we name most of ours. Haste, Rush, Blitz, Charge, Storm, Dash... :)

    This is sooooo Bitcable :D

    I like your company, never had a VPS with you but you have a nice name & concept, like IOFlood :D
