Things I always have to ask providers because they don't bother putting it in the offer post.

zedzed Member

Help me compile a list so I can just copy/paste it to every fucking offer thread. This is what I got so far..

looking glass?
network status available to public?
price recurring?
proper routed /64 ipv6?
reverse dns (ipv4/v6)?
install from ISO?
$7?

I wasn't sure where to post this, please move if applicable.

    Definitely not all yet.

    And then, of course, name servers for reverse IPv6 zones should ideally also be reachable via IPv6 - unfortunately, that's where a lot of them fail. Maybe not a big issue, but why not do it properly in the first place?

  • Some of the providers here don't mention datacenter location at all. Nothing in title, nothing in the post. I have to fucking put the order to MAYBE see the location, because they sometimes don't even mention it on their fucking website.

    Min GB6 score is impossible to guarantee because it'll always fluctuate due to hypervisor load

    mentally strong providers provide so much power that a gb6 score of 2666 is always guaranteed! ;)

    thank you, that is a really good comprehensive list to follow.

    @default said:
    FreeBSD template?

    Frankly actually I'd see that as a negative because 9 out of 10 FreeBSD templates I've seen are crappy and quite a few even are horrible.

    So nuh, just give us at least a current ISO or, even better, let us download and mount any halfway reasonable ISO we want.
