    Why does one use a VDS? What's the real use case (except for yabs)

    Time for me to add a blanket rule on selling items other than servers on LET

    What does this mean?
    Non server items have a limit of $7/yr?

    Depends if the blanket is dedicated or shared

    Fair-use policy?

    Why? You got something to hide?

    No just asking to make sure I don't violate any AUP before using products :D

    Upload 500GB Porn & don't forget to share it publicly :#

    Is it safe. What if it wakes up a huge DMCA?

    Daddy will spank you

    Neah. Purple daddy @dustinc is not even here.

    Oo you know Crunchy Daddy is the true Daddy.

    True.

    But yeah, this is more what I had in mind. Situation where you want to slam one or more cores for hours without worrying about AUP violations.

    Isolation, away from the shared blanket. It is like a person wanting their own space, even though they don't actually need it. It is more of a "peace of mind" state.

    It's like isolation in disguise. You get dedicated cores but many such neighbors mean you will end up with lower performance overall, right?

    On the same hardware, the performance will be the same, as long as you do not reach an average of 50%. VPS will be limited if using CPU in long time, and VDS does not

    Kind of. With a VPS it is like going to work and taking the elevator to get there, but inside the elevator some strange couple has intimate relationship. You will get to work in time, but with some humps along the way, which might be considered uncomfortable by you.

    With a VDS you get to work, but with your own dedicated elevator. No strangers loving one another there.

    Same doesn't mean the best. Sure a handful neighbors, things are good overcrowded, sure you can hammer but now at probably less than 60٪ juice (just making up a number )

    Getting an VDS is an illusion of owning something feels dedicated to you without the commitment and costs of the whole thing, but deep down they are actually physically the same instance and share the same brain.

    But the cores are dedicated right? I won’t be banned for 100% core usage for longer periods of time. Unlike VPS the fear always lingers on if I had enough to reduce overall load

    I'm curious how you define shared hosting. :o

    Ya but do you actually need them to be dedicated? I could live with VPS friends assuming they are not super oversold...

    Sorry I am not even talking about servers at this point
