A DO server with 6TB of storage?
This is an in place recovery
I wont be dumping customer data at other customers houses haha.
Mount something like Amazon Cloud Drive, then run rsync
+1, that's a bad idea actually.
I understand why you think that's a good idea, the practicalities and realities are a little different though, I will be happy to walk you through the various issues and stages once its all done though.
Yeah, would be happy to know more, so I can start my
summerhost that provides (overpriced?) NAT VPSes better when time comesOn that note...are lizards a risk or an opportunity?
Nope. It was Tectonic Hazards, not lizards
just wrote this:
Techtonic Hazards as an opportunity...that was the plot of the first Superman movie.
So does this repair pretty much wipe out any profit you have made in this location?
There is no profit in this location it is only around 7 - 8 months old
Anthony, why are you running such nonprofit service? People are complaining too much. Also taking your time and money which could be invested in ih
That is a good question. At least, you understand our pain....
How much time do you spend on tending / managing these (difficult?) LES customers?
It's can't be calculated. We got a lots of ticket every week for things explained on website or forum. It's rare is for real hardware problem.
But as the project state, those VPS are not to make profit. We simply run them and for example, I make only a few bucks (less than a few coffee!!) by month in profit with the Montreal node. Now, calculate the support and chargeback, we fall in negative. I won't even talk about NJ...
This is why most hosting company running only NAT service and try to compete with LES fail in less than 1 year.
We run it to make VPS accessible to everybody and develop IPv6 adoption around the world!
Pretty sure @AutoSnipe, @Olivier and @AnthonySmith can confirm this!
Question: What do you think about renting a Kimsufi (or OVH) server and running 12 VMs on it, with proper CPU usage limits, on a single IP (LES style), for... say, $8/yr (with much more disk space than usual LES boxes)? Will it last for long?
Kimsufi = No SLA, hardware swap without notice, so it's a bad start.
Also, no RAID, 100Mbps Shared port. This is not the best brand to start :P
Mmmm. Wow... Was about to start working on something like this, thanks for the heads up.
I probably gotta hunt down for the best provider for what I do, out there, before thinking about anything else
@theroyalstudent: base on above quote. I think that I'm not able to transfer it to you, sorry bro
Sure, that's fine.
Your both customers, I can transfer.
@michaelphan
ok, since I still have some data that I want to get back in those VPSs so once he finish restore, I will get the data back, clear my data and then transfer to you.
Sure, thanks
