probably because you haven't stared at the price long enough?

Try that link, it shouldn't be cached
HDD but price is nice.
It is likely Hostdoc is caching full page, include html content.
What, no mod_sec rule to trigger?
If I was you, I wouldn't want to tell the Dr what to do. Because he's the doctor after all!
It appears to be a simple static HTML page, doesn't appear to be a risk. I just tried a few things and couldn't find a way to break it/get to something I shouldn't. If you do find something though, PM the Doc I'm sure he'd appreciate that!
@dahartigan
T'was a tad tongue in cheek.
I need sleep apparently LOL
Thx. I did a 'df' after I posted that and noticed only the 50gb NVIe was mounted.
If you are using Linux and want to set up that second HDD you can follow the guide here: https://community.hostdoc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?id=8
No IPv6.
Pass.
Huh? They give you a /64 of IPv6 in Dallas
Have just finished moving one of my production websites to Hostdoc SG I have bought 3 days ago.
Working great so far.
I always put some non-critical password within command line to make the process simple (not have to create a password file), since the VM has only one user.
But can the host view the process detail of a KVM VPS?
Absolutely not, only on VZ or LXC
KVM is safe like that. The host will show 1 process which is usually qemu running your VM, the host can't see the same output that you see in top/htop.
I thought so but not be sure. Will never touch VZ knowing this.
Exemplary.
You would probably be alarmed to know that with VZ your files are also in the open in a directory like this: /var/lib/vz/100/ (where 100 is your VPS id)
I should add though that trust is important, however breaches can happen and it may one day be possible for someone to access all of the files on a VZ node.
KVM just doesn't have that problem
KVM also lets you do a full disk encryption of your VPS so the host, nor the NSA could read your files.
KVM gives higher security but there's no exact way to hide from the host. The host can still dump your RAM or get the current snapshot of the VM and get relevant information if needed.
EDIT: Even if you run full disk encryption, you need to enter the password using VNC or equivalent, the VNC input can be retrieved by the host.
The only way is to trust the host
EDIT2: That said, it probably isn't worth the effort for them to do so.
I doubt this.
The NSA created/modified/weakened every public encryption algorithm as well as your random number generator in your CPU.
@FAT32 Great information.
But at least it will require more effort, much better than allowing them to directly read everything.
That would require an extremely motivated and highly unethical host, and in this case I strongly doubt that's true lol. I will know if my passport leaks to the internet
I knew there was a good reason for lining my hat with tin foil
I would suggest using end-to-end encryption to store sensitive files. Even if someone gain access to the server, no one* can access the files on it.
(*) Unless the encryption scheme is broken, or by NSA
LOL.
I am serious.
You must be from NSA. Literally everywhere.
I know, but in reality, someone could also break into your house and steal things too. If you have teh NSA after you, you're fucked either way. It would take a highly motivated and shady provider to go through those lengths to snoop.
I am not authorized to share this information.
Right, the best way to hide an information is never own it at all.
Yeah that's the thing.
If you would use pre-2008 hardware, your own OS etc. they will find ways to enter your appartment/house while you are away.
