Hy fellas,

Started this as it was time we had 1 thread for all HOST-C stuff related.

Welcome all, trolling, memes or whatever is allowed, heck, even welcomed =) . All in the limits of LES Rules :p

https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/26/rules-rules-rules-rules-rules-info-updated-october-9th-1935/p1

We managed to clear most of the Tickets from the BF Sale, still have to fix some and to provision the 20 TB deals

Next..

I will start with a thank you for choosing HOST-C.

Here is an insight for the first part of 2025:

  • Another Payment Gateway ( no crypto, at least for the first part of 2025 )
  • Captcha - a more normal version then the one currently used
  • rDNS in User Panel
  • A new location for IPV6 only deals + a new location for higher speeds
  • TOS will get some updates - these will be sent out via e-mail to all customers
  • A decent website
  • A lot of tweeks in products, pricing and product flexibility
  • Dyson Sphere will be made a always available product ( well, as much as possible / location )

Now, for the rest of 2024, we will do some minor tweaks to server performance, might have to take a few nodes offline for a few minutes, as CPU or RAM is not hot-swap capable, at least not on the DELL's we use.

I wish to underline to everyone that we are no DMCA ignore, that term is pretty widely interpreted as PORN, Shady Stuff over the internet and other, some might got this idea as I am from Romania and some of my fella providers endorsed this type of activity in the past or still do, I will gladly disappoint some in this statement. Whatever you publish must follow this rule, whatever you store, that is not our business.

Short version of TOS can be found here, each subject has a revision number and date when it was published, as we update it, version number changes so is the date.

I wish to thank those that trusted/trust us with whatever data they have ( regardless of the type =) ) .

Get your self prepared, more to come.

As usual, if you have any questions, shoot.

<3 HOST-C

  • Managed to miss all the storage BF deals; I think I must have been in the wrong timezone / distracted by kittens.

    I will have to think something up, as accounting and taxes is ~3 USD on a sale, and @7USD / year, well, you know, dead-pool if abused to much.

    @cybertech said: i finally became a host-c customer with an amazing value 2TB deal on LES exclusively, so

    Happy to have you onboard.

    What I can promise to all after big sales, is that your neighbors will be noisy for the first couple of days, and they will deplete the IO available for storage 24/7, same story, every time.... =)

    Things settle in a few days.

  • @host_c wonder if custom ISOs is support? i cannot check it myself atm.(I got kick out to login page for the third time now 😂)

  • I'd like to suggest that Host-C consider a new IPv6-only storage deal at a competitive price. some people need large-capacity storage for backup purposes, so IPv4 isn't a necessity. Could you consider removing IPv4 to offer more competitive storage solutions?

    I am not a fan, we tried it on OGF, it wen ok-ish, but I was too stressed for parts to arrive on time.

    We had the go from LES admins to do it here, but rather waited to do the normal sale. I do not feel comfortable not "putting my money where my moth is".

    Satisfaction is always higher if you get what you payed for instantly, or in a few minutes. =) =) =)

    This is a good tool for expansion, but it can go very wrong very fast, this forum and others are full of examples, I wish not to repeat what I read a bunch of times. Slowly but surely is better, altho, the opening of next location got delayed 12 months, not proud, as some say, it is what it is. :)

    Nice!

    @host_c said: rDNS in User Panel

    Also nice! For all subnets (because for example 185.207.125.0/24 has no rDNS currently)?

    @host_c said: A decent website

    Nice!

    Maybe you can take a few photos from the servers/your rack if you're there anyway?

    Doesn't seem to be available in the panel, but netboot.xyz is available.

    that will take off too little in my opinion, I had this talk with other providers, most of them agreed, in today pricing, IPV4 is the last of my concern.

    Fees and other expenses on cheap products eat all profit, let me give you an example on a cash-back we did today ( well not 1, but just to have a general idea )

    Amount
    45.00 USD
    Transaction Fee
    2.73 USD
    Merchant Amount
    42.27 USD

    so that cost me 2.73 USD + other expanses, not that bad on a 45 USD right?

    Amount
    14.00 USD
    Transaction Fee
    1.05 USD
    Merchant Amount
    12.95 USD

    1.05 USD on a 14 USD sale? that is .... outrageous might I say

    I can understand other providers being reluctant on cheap deals, it is not that we do not wish to do them, heck, on IPV6 we can do 1C/1G/5GB NVME/1TB transfer each minute of the day 24/7/365, but that will actually cost the provider, not the user, hence no benefit, provider dead-pools and user is frustrated hat another went to dust...

    We are ok owning that, as it is grate for the community and rather giving $ to google better spend the $ as credit, but only in limited numbers, otherwise........ RIP. =)

    Very few providers support it unfortunately.

    You're not alone in this pain.
    I also didn't add any storage VPS to my collection.
    With the only difference that I was (permanently) distracted by work.

    @gritty said:

    Should you manage to snag that $7 storage, please grab another for me as well — the connection speed I have at the moment prevents any quick BF/CM purchase very effectively.

    ☰ Probably the best Black Friday storage offersAMD EPYC VDSes with NVMe slices (ref) from 250GB to 4TB and 500GB–10TB SAN disk. / Big HDD storage VPSes (ref) from $2.42/month per TB. / Storage dedis and hybrid VPS (SSD + HDD) are there as well.

    Shit, wrong one =) =) =)

    These were during the time we moved all servers to another part of the DC, as we secured the next rack also for 2025

    These are from the old rack, will post updates tomorrow.

    it is not Yle ( ROW ) 125

    I wanted to do a quiz on that, but I would have to divulge information that might be useful for an attacker on the infrastructure.

    DNS Hijack or being part in a DNS amplification attack.

    Happened, oh boy, not once.

    Some ( almost all ) forget to set up DNS server correctly so a ton ended up being part of a shit attack a few years back.

    I can limit the PPS reply on TCP/UDP 53 via the Firewall, but sincerely, why bother?
