    It is recommended to have popcorn on hand for the best viewing experience. :D ;)

    Precisely. Take something generic that's easy to learn and available in any computer store, and replace it with something that requires a proprietary API so it's not interoperable with any competitor and requires training courses and support contracts for when it goes wrong.

    cloud provider lock-in :D and some war with opensource project

    And have some free plan so devs get habitual of it then when they develop a startup give some free credits which aren't going to affect you then from next year charge exorbitant amount of money :lol:

    This is the multilayered trick of cloud service providers. ;)

    HELO YOU JUST PAY WHAT U USE . PAY AS U GOOOO

  • Man like they way vercel developed next js first making it believe easy then locking all the features to their own platform [yaa you can self host it but its better performant on Vercel]
    and start charging exorbitant amount of money based on requests where its just a wrapper on aws [I know they are much more than that but they started as a wrapper]

    Bonus points if you make it free for a year so people migrate their entire codebase to use it, and then have a reasonable first year price so they think "well, we're still saving money" and then rack up the price by 20% every year after that when they can't move away.

    Typical shenanigans ๐Ÿ™„

    And specially in .mid sized companies they tend to get roped in these ever so often without realizing the long term cost benefits or getting locked in to something proprietary

    Support for some older things... implementation solutions using traditional methods and approaches.๐Ÿ˜…

    Well everyone needs a person to blame to and reach out for help maybe that is why :lol: but yaa they do have better support [on-demand]

    Yes, technical support, LTS releases, tools, certificated everything. Still Linux but with paid developers. The normal Linux is low end Linux. like unmanaged server.

    Because there is a number to call when they need one.

    Who was your first vps provider?

    Not too proud , for me it was chicagovps

    NFOservers back in 2013. In fact, I still have a server with them and I've had it for almost 9 years:

    You signed up for this server on Friday, January 22, 2016

    Wow. Seems they are a good provider.

    They've been fairly reliable over the years for sure. Some blips here and there, but nothing crazy.

    I should do a YABS of the server I still have with them one day. I believe it's still on HDD (in RAID1 or something), so disk speeds are probably not the greatest, but not sure.

    Even big names get blips left and right
    It's commendable they have still managed to stay alive. This market is so saturated, profit margins are razor thin.

    Yeah would love to see the yabs

    Oh yeah, for sure. They're usually quite on the ball when it comes to issues (even minor issues with upstreams).

    Anyway, decided to check this server (and did some upgrades/reboot).

    2 vCPU / 2 GB RAM / 200 GB disk / 12 TB @ whatever max speed they have (some nws.sh tests gave me around ~2 Gbps) for 8.99 USD per month.

    Not IPv6-enabled apparently (I would have to contact support), but this is a mostly-idle server anyway so I don't really care :joy:

    YABS - No idea what happened with receive speeds here tbh:

    maybe i'm not in a linux enterprise field, but can someone explain me why some company prefer Commercial Distro like RHEL or SUSE. they got special support or something like that?

    Well everyone needs a person to blame to and reach out for help maybe that is why :lol: but yaa they do have better support [on-demand]

    Boss: Have you fixed the problem yet?

    Employee: We've got a call in to Red Hat and they are investigating the issue and will get back to us.

    I'll take any. As soon as we get something

    And then please transfer one to me too :lol:

    I can transfer the invoice to you, and I'll keep the service. Is that alright?

    Who was your first vps provider?

    Not too proud , for me it was chicagovps

    NFOservers back in 2013. In fact, I still have a server with them and I've had it for almost 9 years:

    You signed up for this server on Friday, January 22, 2016

    Wow. Seems they are a good provider.

    They've been fairly reliable over the years for sure. Some blips here and there, but nothing crazy.

    I should do a YABS of the server I still have with them one day. I believe it's still on HDD (in RAID1 or something), so disk speeds are probably not the greatest, but not sure.

    Even big names get blips left and right
    It's commendable they have still managed to stay alive. This market is so saturated, profit margins are razor thin.

    Yeah would love to see the yabs

    Oh yeah, for sure. They're usually quite on the ball when it comes to issues (even minor issues with upstreams).

    Anyway, decided to check this server (and did some upgrades/reboot).

    2 vCPU / 2 GB RAM / 200 GB disk / 12 TB @ whatever max speed they have (some nws.sh tests gave me around ~2 Gbps) for 8.99 USD per month.

    Not IPv6-enabled apparently (I would have to contact support), but this is a mostly-idle server anyway so I don't really care :joy:

    YABS - No idea what happened with receive speeds here tbh:

    Yeah I don't think it's a great deal or anything, it's just I've had it for so long it feels weird to cancel it lol. Luckily it's "only" $8.99 per month, which... is not that much if I compare it to other servers in my spreadsheet.
