Probably because I’m lazy and haven’t spent time on new customers, just on keeping our current ones happy!
We’ll have a new site eventually and the content will be more thoughtful!
I have a VDS with @HostBilby and its been rock solid.
@HostBilby still going strong
VDS
VPS
Price/link?
They both are at deadpool prices (like $16 for the VPS 2c4g and $50 something for the VDS 8c16g that I jedi mind tricked @HostBilby to make them.
Thanks for posting @nekomikoreimu
😁
I didn't even notice this! Our other specs are the same, but mine is only 100 GB, not 200. Your PP is huge!
You should request enabling host CPU passthrough, otherwise you're missing out on important security features as well as performance features (you're likely leaving 50-70% performance on the table).
LOL, this is unexpected @xHosts
