How many Servers do you have (for private use)?

VPS_UnlimitedVPS_Unlimited Member
in General

Heya,
So I know this question is what some of us fear the most, but let's keep it at servers for private use :D

How many servers do you have? :D

As of now I have been quite lucky and only use about ~10 for "private" use :D
Game-/voiceservers, couple web projects, some development and ftp servers.

What about you?

    Can you please just apply for provider tag and post your offer?

    Why else would you sign up with such a username?

    What's wrong with some chit chat? Seems like you can't stand the idea of new providers joining LET. Too bad, that this is what this place is about if I am not entirely mistaken.
    I will apply for a provider tag indeed, however FYI I don't meet the requirements for applications yet.

    Have a nice day, lad! And maybee a cool beer to hold your horses^^

    No definition of what you mean by server, so... 100+

    Server equals VPS/Dedi :)

    @raindog308
    Now that's quite the number :)

  • doughmanesdoughmanes Member

    I buy dedicated servers now. The grass is greener on the other side mentality, deadpooling and overselling/reliability issues has made me realize if I want to claim "production" on what I'm doing, I need the access such as IPMI/KVM to maximize my uptime. Otherwise calling something 'production' on something with limited access is a joke.

    It's not hard to get to 26. Four of those are various file servers at home. There's some VPN boxes, some seedboxes, some web servers, some self-hosted monitoring, some lab boxes, and of course boxes to take backups of all the rest. I could definitely pare down but that is not the LET way.

    Interesting. I've been getting rid of my idling servers lately.

    I've removed 2 droplets, 1 ovh vps and 5 vps-s on aruba from my server list.

    I consolidate what I need to run on dedicated servers now instead.

  • raindog308raindog308 Administrator, Veteran

    I was headed down that path but then I discovered ansible. And once you have a good server management platform, you want to have more to manage...

    It's a disease, I admit.

    How is game server / voice server private? Unless you are saying you are playing with / talking to yourself.

  • namhuynamhuy Member

    Private in terms of non-commercial use. I have my private ts3 where i invite my friends to and some private gameservers me and my friends play on :) Sounds as private to me as it can get. If you really wanna go down that road your vps stops being private the minute you connect it the internet.

    This is LET, so probably playing with himself.

    edited February 2016

    I have a number of dedis but counting all the personal use VMs and other vps' from other providers I'm probably near 20. Many serve a single purpose like owncloud or reverse proxy serving a geographic region or just a netbeez monitor node.

    Plus I have all the standard fare like a couple backup locations, plex, game and radio servers, etc..
