Doesn't lscpu works great as well?
Bounce around between physical servers? Nope bounce around memory sector? Yeah, it does I mean every program does.
Hi @mobi12 -- Thank You for participating in our giveaway, and for your interest in our services
Our KVM VPS solutions are delivered with full root SSH access only by default, though you're absolutely able to install a GUI of your choice i.e. something like GNOME or xfce, accessible via VNC or XRDP.
Since it's your own VPS with complete root access, you have full control of the OS and can customize it however you'd like
Perhaps this tutorial might point you towards the right direction: https://blog.racknerd.com/how-to-configure-remote-desktop-on-ubuntu-server/
'lscpu' works as well, I actually like it over catting /proc/cpuinfo since the output is prettier. If you want a simple count, you can use nproc. I learned that from using Gentoo many years ago but I recall someone else commenting it here
Hi @PuDLeZ -- Thank You for helping clarify this for @mobi12!
To add to this - while our KVM VPSes do come with HTML5 VNC console access via SolusVM, this is meant for emergency out-of-band access only (i.e., if you accidentally lock yourself out with firewall rules and SSH is no longer accessible). For regular GUI usage, we recommend installing and configuring proper VNC or XRDP if that's something you're after
Hi @Neat321 -- at the moment, we don't have any immediate plans for Plesk reseller offerings. We've found that cPanel/WHM continues to be the highly preferred control panel among our resellers and their end-users. The familiarity and ease of use that cPanel brings to the table has made it a winning solution for our resellers.
However, it is always something we'd be open to considering in the future.
Hehehe
These will be handled shortly!
Oh yeah nproc only lists the score or threads count. How did I forget that now. Maybe I am just too sleepy.
Hi @AndreDonz -- Thank You for the feedback! We'll have the network engineering team take a deeper look into this path from China -> Dublin, and make proper adjustments if at all possible. For users connecting from China specifically, we typically recommend our Los Angeles DC-02 facility, as this location leverages both China Unicom and ChinaNet paths, providing optimal connectivity to/from Asia and Oceania regions. Second to that would be our San Jose location, which also provides decent latency to that region.
I prefer to be out of reach of webpros products if possible, Direct admin works just fine, sometimes better than cpanel. If you have any plans moving forward with DA I will migrate my service there.
chef present and hard at work. lettttssss partyyyy
@dustinc
Thanks for looking into it. But frankly, I guess your support guy was just a bit anal, maybe some sakkuridy scanner gave an alarm and he wanted to be 100% sure. Not really a big thing and he was very polite. If anything, you might want to tell him a bit about how to recognize and discern a pro from some mom getting a VPS for her son grin
In other words, I didn't ask him for advice but for downloading and installing a bloody BSD ISO and mounting it.
Whatever, again, he was very polite and diligent and even relatively fast for a day I guess was quite busy.
What you, however, really should improve is your VNC situation, in particular wrt speed (needs not be fast but should really not be snail slow) and wrt keyboard layouts. Having to work with an alien keyboard layout is a quite reliable way to get customers frustrated ...
Re the rest, I really like (a lot) that you offer an explicit "one off" PayPal option, am largely happy with the "panel behind the panel" (but think that you should integrate it better. Having to look for a separate login and pw feels a bit crude).
Also, and most importantly I'm constantly having an eye on my benchmark running on the new RN VM - and so far like what I see. A lot (modulo maybe connectivity. It seems that many targets are not reachable, but that may be my fault in part too. I'll try to get a better target set). The CPU and mem. is very nice it seems, for an E5 v4 and the disk seems to be a fast one too). Just a quick question: are the VPS's disks in any way redundant/RAIDed?
TL;DR: Besides an early hiccup I'm quite happy so far. Benchmark & review will come in a few days.
That's the spirit! And yes, you said it perfectly - join in on the fun, engage with the thread, and you might just be one of our lucky winners! We're going to be doing more random giveaways within this thread soon as well
Good stuff, I'll be emailing those winners within the next 72 hours as well
@dustinc can I also share some MTRs for Dublin? The current route for me also goes via US (270ms+) instead of going through EU (130ms)
That's what I did/how I did it. Of bloody course I used the (more) techie Solus panel!
Too late. I tend to not or very rarely only use the panel once a VM is installed. But if I notice any problem I'll let you know.
And it seems, you do (based on preliminary results).
Hi @chitree -- Sorry to hear you're having trouble with this! Can't say I've heard about that particular issue before. By the way, if you're using Gmail, have you tried using the + feature? Gmail allows that - i.e. add +racknerdgiveaway at the end of your username @gmail.com to see if that helps.
We actually have some recent videos about KeyHelp on our YouTube channel!
Hi @lowgwi -- Thank You for the update and glad to hear that you were able to successfully complete your payment!
Just as a heads up for anyone else, we work with multiple payment processors including FastSpring, Stripe (credit cards), Cryptocurrency (Coinify), and more. So if one particular gateway isn't working for your needs, we have alternatives available
Thank You for choosing RackNerd!
What did you think about Keyhelp? How would you say it compares to, say, CyberPanel or HestiaCP?
Cyber panel I don't like for various reasons, but hestia is different especially being open source I can just do something if there's something annoying I don't wanna use, as keyhelp is good but the usual blend of nginx is missing there, I mean I don't mind using https but only if nginx is working as a reverse proxy. I prefer nginx over https so keyhelp couldn't hold me longer, shifted to plain cli and cloudpanel, cloudpanel is also closed source like keyhelp but nginx is there so is redis+varnish couldn't have asked for more
heres a throwback to frank in the bf thread last year
thanks again for the custom palettes
Suggest me the cheapest itx am4 board with ecc support, I have a spare 3500x and sticks idling on shelf. Might be better to host global ping and another monitoring instance...... Or maybe another storage server with some cheap 5400rpm HDD.
Hello, I would like to double the bandwidth.

Thanks!
So, since @dustinc posted, he probably has Chef locked in the kitchen preparing some tasty treats for us!
I prefer FastPanel. Here’s the usage from a RackNerd 1 GB VPS in Dublin.
