Can you stop inferring this, its not true, and can be considered slander. Please stop.
@CVPS_Chris I was playing. Look above I have done nothing but back you up. And hope things get better for you.
@CVPS_Chris there was talk about the owner of the datacenter you are in being part owner of ChicagoVPS was just being funny with what was already in the thread. No harm ment.
Oh, come on
Slander involves a negative or inferior image portrayed by someone saying something.
If CVPS were a part of Colocrossing, that would be a positive and create a more positive image of CVPS.
@sleddog Back online? LA is not.
I feel lucky that I chose the Buffalo location for my yearly VPS. Now I've probably just cursed myself, time to take a backup.
@jkr1711 Murphy..
@LAKid Yeah; not going to use the "Central Backup" feature. HDD at home is dying so going to have to mirror the backup to all 17 of my VPS's and hope Murphy has mercy on my soul
L.A is online, thanks.
Wow, what is with all the outages?
Constant DDoS, raid failurs, hard drive failures, memory failures. Pretty much name it and probably has happened all in the same week for us.
Even after everything Im pretty sure we have it under control now. Fingers crossed.
Let's hope karma is done bitch slapping @CVPS_Chris for a while.
The DDoS part sucks and not CVPS fault. The rest, well...
I'd think someone internally was sabotaging my business with all those issues. Or the creator being was trying to send me a divine intervention letter to get the hint.
As long as LA stays up I'm good. When the server's up it's absolutely beautiful.
@pubcrawler I have ordered and left it idle for quite sometime for LA note. Can't put anything in it because of the frequent reboot.
I have another vps with Chicagovps. That one has been up for more than 6 months now.
Wow, crazy uptime @smile93 on the Chicago node.
Industry in general needs to figure out how to improve uptime and balance user load.
We have a dozen or more VPS'es in various use now. Longest uptime, 14 days. (Some are recent acquisitions). Lots of them are many months old though. Uptime continues to be a big problem and reboots are part of that.
You have bad providers/reboot your VM often.
Most of my webservers are at 60 days +, only ones that I use for dev and frequent OS reinstalls are really less. 6 months uptime should be a reasonable goal for most providers, everything needs a reboot once in awhile but a year isn't that uncommon either.
Time to start an uptime thread @nunim
Providers managing high uptime should be rewarded with good coverage.
@pubcrawler I'd caveat that - uptime with kernel security patches applied (ksplice) on the node
EDIT: with OpenVZ local kernel exploits come into play so evil tenants can get to your stuff. With xen/KVM, local kernel issues can still pose a risk but often it's much lower unless there is a bug in the virtualization layer...so it's mostly remote kernel (and network service) vulns to worry about
Even so, highest uptime 14 days looks like a lot of bad luck.while 6 months uptime is a good goal, you must remember many providers are new to this business and calibrating nodes is not something you know from birth, therefore many must be upgraded, replaced, add cache, rearrange raid, etc. Not to mention hw failures, change of datacenters, after all, this is much cheaper than the "big guys", you cant expect the same uptime, however, constant monitoring and a very short downtime a couple of months or so during moving are probably an expected behaviour.
@maounique not sure how your comment is a response to mine...I was not making a comment about whether 14 days uptime is acceptable or not. Did you mean to respond to someone else?
I am sorry, was meant to include pubcrawler's part you quoted, but somehow it didnt make it.
@maounique no worries - was just confused. Preview and edit button ftw
@pubcrawler Here are some of my VPSs up time at the moment:-
Database By Design (2G HVM) up since day 2 till now
Server Uptime 180Day15Hour14Minute
Prometeus (512M KVM) up since day 1 till now
Server Uptime 148Day10Hour57Minute
Hostslim (1G OpenVZ) up since day 1 till now
Server Uptime 88Day1Hour44Minute
ChicagoVPS (2G OpenVZ) up since last note reboot till now
Server Uptime 42Day22Hour23Minute
ChicagoVPS LA note (2G OpenVZ) reboot almost everyday last week
Server Uptime 0Day15Hour19Minute
BudgetVM (1G OpenVZ) up since last note reboot till now
Server Uptime 23Day18Hour40Minute
StyleXNetworks (256M) I don't know when they reboot, I never reboot this VPS.
Server Uptime 3Day8Hour6Minute
and many more ...
Only Database By Design (2G HVM) is real production VPS.
Other, I run different LINUX distributions with diff configuration for demo purposes or testing apps on different platforms.
Zombie Apocalypse?
@CVPS_Chris, well I think the community is glad that you've updated everyone throughout this ordeal. Moving forward, I do hope everything settles down, all the DDOS attack stop, and all hardware and software issues gets resolved for you, and all other providers who may be experiencing the same problems, here on LET/LEB.
had to reboot LA vps again.
OK, so it wasn't just me. Had to do the same through WHMCS.
I just don't understand this why it keeps happening.
LA VPS needs to reboot again. This is terrible.
@Dionysus know another 2GB Provider for under $7? (though memory wise, 1GB Xen or KVM is technically the same amount of available memory as 2GB OpenVz on a CentOS 5.8 host).
ask for transfer to Chicago - rock solid
