Running at dedirock 5, colocrossing 5, ovh 2 and many providers with just 1 vps.
However I am slowly moving to just a few dedicated servers at ovh/colocrossing vs gazillion vps-es at the let deal providers. The dedi's can run containers much more predictable and economical. A small 1C.1G.40G container on a cheap dedi, is most efficient way to run a small vps. I can run about 75 vps's(containerized) on a ovh baguette or colocrossings buffalo chicken at 10 a 15 euro per month. That makes it about 20 cents per month per vps. That is some cheap chicken baguette.
Most global hosting infrastructures primarily rely on hardware from Dell PowerEdge or HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) ProLiant servers. For cloud-based setups, providers heavily lease infrastructure from hyperscalers like AWS (Amazon Web Services) or DigitalOcean.
Who even still uses shared hosting?
For those here to get cheap hosting for basic sites… I am sure most folks here are better off with shared hosting in production.
That’s how I started before getting servers. I needed reliability while I learned.
Does a hypervizor with multiple VMs running on the same baremetal hardware count as multiple??
Because I have some gnarly dual E5v4s that could top the list.
This thread has me realizing I need to start getting my servers from @AlteredParadox , @NotFoundException and of course @FAT32
People who just want their website to work for a low price and be someone else's problem.
Fun fact - PHP is the original serverless.
OVH
Me! It's really useful. You can get one reseller account and run a bunch of websites for family and friends with minimal maintenance.
all-inkl.com since more then 20y.
I don't have all that many.
@DartNode - 1
@DeluxHost - 1
@DigiRDP - 1
@host_c - 1
@Hostshield_LTD - 1
@HostDZire - 1
@djunior (AxusHost) - 1
Also have a storage backup with @NetDynamics24.
Nice!
It might be a fun competition to see how many idlers a person could theoretically fit on a mid-end Xeon. With the right optimizations, an insanely light distro, and KSM, surely a few tens of thousands, no?
128MB kvm on 128GB -> around 1000.
Openvz 32MB @Neoon
But how much actual memory would those 128 MB use if you have KSM enabled?
Between 64~80MB with alpine. Maybe TCL could go lower
I would have thought it would be a lot smaller. If all the VMs run the same kernel and are idling, then KSM should be able to reduce the memory usage to almost nothing, just a few megabytes per VM.
I haven't tried it, but maybe @backtogeek could test it on #11 location
Almost done
If they are idlers, might as well run them as containers rather than full VMs and just trick the guest into thinking it is running under KVM when in fact it is running under a container engine. (Not like most users would be able to tell the difference).
I have productive Alpine containers sitting at 10mb memory, so ....
Anyone can try it, TierHive has nested virtualization and you can install from iso
you can set up your own nested hypervisors and double nat over the mesh if you want.
But the theory is correct, ksm takes a bit of tuning, defaults are poor.
50+ from oneprovider
40+ from datapacket
My question is...
what do you do with 16 servers???
Genuinely curious
Never done!
Almost there
Hows their uptime like? Ive seen some sweet bf deals from them, I didn't buy since many were talking bad of their cpu steal/uptime
He was joking. VirMach is in a strange state of limbo between functioning and deadpool.
So much sarcasm in let i can no longer get whats real and whats mot haha
16 times as much as you would with 1.
more ovh
